Dream Thread

I have to sleep in total darkness and silence. 
He can't find me this way. I lay still as ice beneath my blanket, barely breathing as I listen to him rummage through my room. I have to change where i hide everynight, he's not very bright but it doesn't take an genius to check a bed. I can hear his feet slither by past my hiding spot under the desk, I hold my breath. My room is cold when he finally leaves for the night, i win another day. I stretch out from the desk and make my way back to bed. I'm close to sleep when I hear a grumble.
And I realize I am no longer alone.
