finally awake after a dreamless sleep
looking to the end of your bed
you see a wrinkled cadavers arm (hand and all)
reaching out to grab you

you can barely move out of fear
every time you call for you dad
your voice is barely a whisper
finally your able to call out "daddy"

he replies "be there in a minute"
the arm is still reaching to grab you
your shaking with fear
scared out of your mind

finally grabbing the strength while it lasts
eyes still locked on the arm
you jump out of the bed and run to the door
opening it you race out

your at the door on the inside of your room again
opening it again you race out
this process is then repeated three more time out of fear
it clicks

your trapped in your room
a wrinkled cadaver arm is trying to get you
your father has not come
after being screamed for over and over again

you blink
your back in bed
you think that its over
that it was just a dream

then the nightmare relives itself
again and again and again
the cadaver arm reappears
over and over again
you relive the terror, frustration, horror, and desperation
your dad still has not arrived to save you

one finally scream leaps from your throat
DADDY!!!!!

you wake up
and hoping against hope
you jump out of bed
race out your door and out the back  

you made it
welcome back to reality
overjoyed to be awake you burst into tears
and look for your dad

he isnt there.....
this is actually a true story that happened to me this morning
i now dont want to sleep in my room tonight because of it
