scare tactics

As I tucked her in, my daughter said “goodbye Daddy”. I explained that at night we say “Goodnight” not “Goodbye, but she replied, “Not tonight Daddy, tonight it’s Goodbye.” So as usual I shrug it off like its nothing and continue on to my bedroom where my wife is awaiting for me in her purple silk night gown. I crawl into bed and start to drift off slowly, quietly with the T.V. still on in the background. I hear a noise from the living so I open my eyes and look around as I’m wiping my eyes off. I get up and slowly walk into the living room where there’s nothing happening or anything so I walk back to my room half asleep. I crawl back in bed where even before my head hit the pillow I was yet again in slumber where I was awoken by the crashing of something in the hallway so I quickly turn the lamp on where I looked in to the dark hallway where now I’m starting to get worried because this might mean that there is someone in the house so I sprang out of bed and rushed into the hallway where I was met with disappointment because there wasn’t a soul there so I muttered to myself alright this time I’ll ignore it and just sleep so for the third time I crawl into my warm bed where I began to sleep yet again until I felt like someone was watching me which was a cliché thing for me to say but I was so true so I barely opened my eyes when I saw my daughter standing there with her eyes pointing right at me, just standing. So I picked her up and took her to her room where I tucked her in and headed back to my room to finally sleep. I awoke by someone standing there at the foot of our bed and for a second I knew that person and I thought to myself and I was my wife’s sister who was brutally murdered by some house intruder and as I started getting up she walked over grabbed my wife broke her neck so bad that her neck bone was sticking out and the crack made me cringe as her lifeless body hit the floor and out of the blue my sister in law disappeared and the cops busted in yelling and screaming. They grabbed me and handcuffed me and took me to the station where I was questioned intensely until even though I knew I for a fact didn’t kill my wife I just said “fine I did it” and I’m sitting her doing life for something I didn’t do even though the evidence was stacked against me my DNA was on my wife so how could this be? My daughter is in child protective service with a good life and I’m in here rotting every day of the rest of my life and forever because of that one night.
