Glowing

A blue light illuminated a boy's face. He cooed and giggled at it as he attempted to grab it, but it always moved at of his reached. It held the little boy's attention as the light moved back and forth teasing him. The boy blubbed his frustration, and he heard laughter from above him. Neville looked beyond the light to see a woman smiling down at him, she was holding a stick that seemed to be controlling the light. He reached up to grab his mother's hand instead, which she allowed. Her hand was much bigger than his and he could do nothing with it, but to suck on one of her fingers.

"Frank, look at him," She cooed.

A man appeared into Neville's eyesight and chuckled at him as well.

"Time to go to sleep little guy."

"See you tomorrow, Neville." His mother said, and she took the light with her.


The light is red this time instead of blue and it causes screaming instead of joy but Neville is still very captivated by it. It glows brighter than the blue light, and a woman is controlling the light. She is yelling at something on the floor, but Neville can't see what. It's too dark outside his room. Then the woman grabs the thing that she's yelling at and drags it into his room.

It was then that he realized that it was his mother.

It was then that he screams.
