Slappy- Both Cousins have Same Dream

“I had another bad dream about Slappy,” I told Willow.
“So did I!” she cried. “That’s why I came to your room. To tell you.”
I swept a hand back through my hair. My forehead was drenched in sweat. “You had another nightmare?”
She nodded. “It was horrible. Slappy made me go to school. To the gym.”
“Me too!” I cried.
“He made me paint his face on our mural,” Willow said. “He said I had to paint whatever he told me because I was his servant. And I would be his servant forever.”
“We … we almost had the exact same dream!” I said. I jumped to my feet. “But … how is that possible?”
Willow shrugged. We both stared at the dummy, sprawled lifelessly on his back.
“As soon as I fall asleep, there he is,” I said. “It’s like he’s there waiting. Waiting to invade my dreams.”
