25. Dread: Write about doing something you don’t want to do.

Suddenly, I realize I had been
Asleep.
I can tell the light is dim
Behind my shut eyelids.
What time is it?
I’m disoriented.
My eyes are still shut
But I feel a presence
In the room.
Awareness creeps in.
I remember
I’d been napping.
The presence is coming closer.
I screw my eyes shut tighter.
Move the sheets up over my head.
“Mama?”
I grunt.
“Mama, nap time’s over.”
I groan.
Just because you’re up
Do I have to get up, too?
