Sophie Dreams
Sophie lay in bed. She could hear a tapping at the window made by a tree branch in the breeze. She fell into a deep sleep and dreamed that outside her window was a hideous ghoul with sallow skin, sharp teeth, and long nails. As it clawed at the window trying to get to her, it’s nails made a tapping sound against the glass.
Sophie awoke with a start in the darkness. She could still hear the branch tapping against the window, but then realised there was no longer any breeze. Turning her head, she saw long sharp teeth.

Oh dear, this doesn’t sound like it will have a good outcome for poor Sophie.

Thanks. I really wanted to end it with the penultimate sentence but I thought the last sentence might make it more clear.

Do you wear black lipstick?

No. I like dark brown lipstick, but black lipstick doesn’t really suit me. I do have black nail polish that I wear occasionally.

Good story! I wasn’t expecting the ending, thought maybe you were just going to leave it at the fearsome imagination but no! Good work. π
