She had tried some herbal teas to help her fall back asleep, they just didn't work. Chamomile, lavender, mint, honey, all of them. At this point, she knew that no herbal tea or sleeping pill could help her. Falling asleep wasn't the problem, it was waking up in the middle of the night that was the issue. Her dreams horrified her. Sometimes she would wake up trembling, other times sobbing. They were the same dreams every night, and it seemed there would be no stop to them.
She lay back down on her pillow. Her pillowcase was soft, she felt its coolness on her cheek. Her eyelids felt heavy, she was drifting back to sleep.
"WAKE UP..... I said WAKE UP!" She was startled by the voice yelling at her. She opened her eyes and was completely terrified at what she saw.
