Dream of Darkness

...Underneath the lamp post,...

...In the middle of the night,...

...The bus makes a silent stop....

...A strange and fearful sight,...

...at the bus stop at your corner....

...Something big and green climbed down....

...It's looking for your bedroom,...

...and it has searched all over town. You...

...thought it couldn't find you,...

...That you were safe and you were sound....

...You thought you could hide,...

...where you never could be found. But now...

...it's almost here,...

...You know it loves, the dark of night....

...There's only one thing you can do,...

...Quick! Turn on the light!...

"Then Boom", suddenly Eshal's mom startled her.

"Mom, you are scaring me", Eshal looked at her mom with tiny eyes.

"You can't do that and I'm not gonna believe in this", Eshal told her mom.

"Oh really", Erin raised her eyebrows and smirked.

"Yeah, so try something new and I would prefer some tangible things than fictional one", Eshal said it in her fancy way.

" So, you want something realistic things?", Erin asked Eshal.

"Yes", Eshal replied.

"Do you know, there is a lot of good and evil things around us? Do you believe in such kind of feelings?", Erin asked her daughter.

" Mom, are you trying to say that ghost does exist?", Eshal asked Erin.

"Maybe it's not a ghost or maybe yes. Or maybe something stronger than that or maybe something beyond our thinking", while saying it, the atmosphere became very tense.

Eshal widened her eyes and grasped Erin's hand all of a sudden.

" Mom, I'm scared", Eshal placed her head in my arm.

I held her up in my warm embrace, comforting her and said,"Don't worry baby, your mom is here. No one will scare my baby".

"Mom, what is that?", Eshal asked me.

I exhaled firmly and said," It is something else that is not for our world".

"Where do they live?", Eshal asked.

" They are from hell", Eshal raised her brows, "Hell!".

" Yes,hell",. I replied.

"What do they want from us, mom?".

"They want us. They want to destroy our humanity and soul".

Eshal looked down but suddenly screamed," Mom, someone is there".

She pointed to the window, the window was open and the curtains were swaying in the breeze.

I got up to go there. I moved the curtain and looked outside.

"See, there is no one. It's your hallucination", I told her.

" No mom, I saw a black shadow with red eyes".

I sighed and called her to me.

"Now see, these were lamp post honey".

"But. I saw something was moving. Lamp can't be moved", Eshal looked up at me.

" Yeah, It's a devil if you don’t go to bed, he will take you with him".

"Mo'ma", Eshal grabbed me.

I burst into laugh and carried her up. " It's nothing honey. Mom is with you so no devil can hurt my baby".

While talking I took my to upstairs. I lay beside Eshal.

"Mom, so devil take soul".

" Yeah".

"So, did devil take my dad too?"

I paused for a while and kept looking at Eshal. He sacrificed himself for us, for me. I kissed her forehead and said, "Baby, close your eyes. you remember your grandpa will come tomorrow".

" Oh yes, I have to sleep now or else I can't go to airport to receive him".

I smiled and kept moving my fingers in her smooth hair. After a while Eshal fell asleep. I immediately went near the window. I saw the same what my child saw. Your illusion can't hurt me nor my child. We have already overcome our bad memories long time ago.
