Disclaimer (my one and only): I don't own any characters, but if they happen to follow me home I'm not turning them away.

AN: I decided to clump them together, since they are all linked, rather than post them seperately. I hope you still like them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hate school. I hate the bell that tells me what to do. I hate not being near Sammy and I hate all the stupid people here. They don't like me just because my Dad kills monsters and theirs don't. I can't wait until I wake up and this all goes away. I miss Mommy and she'll be there when I wake up and she'll give me a cookie and a magic hug. Dad doesn't know how to do them here, maybe my dream made him forget. Anyway, when I wake up I'm going to look after Sammy just like I do now.

I think my Dad, my dream Dad, is worried about me. I guess to him this is all real, so I try to make him feel better. I make sure I'm smiling when I see him and I don't get scared when he starts to drink from the bottle that makes him talk funny and shout a lot. I'm strong in my dream, just like I should be.

It's been a long time since my dream started, so I should wake up soon. Except, I don't remember having a dream like this before. Everything feels real, like when I kicked the table yesterday and my toe started to bleed. Do you think that this isn't a dream?

Maybe I can't go back. Maybe my Mommy is really lying in the ground like Dad says. Maybe… I think my Mommy's really dead.

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping

Hello, I'm still here

All that's left of yesterday.
