Again and again the witch visited my dreams. She came as a woman in a black veil. I could hear her weep beneath the veil. She wept again and again as the tears filled up my room. Tears kept coming and a foot of water pooled at the side of my bed. And the water heaved; expanding into a pool besides my bed.

She wept
again, and I pulled up, my "Star-Wars" flannel bed sheets, I climbed underneath the covers and laid in curled up and sucked my thumb. I
attempted to create a cave where the witch would not get me.
The flannel cave was free of any light. I was enclosed in darkness.

But then I would fall asleep again the woman with a black veil would come into my room.
I could hear the cries outside the cave.
