Also he hated the night he read most of the night sometimes.


One night Dylan was frightened to death! In the night Dylan got a really scary dream about the boy with the pitch black eyes that boy was around his room scaring him so much that he woke up and ran to his mums room. Dylan whispered to his mum “mum I had a really bad dream can I sleep please sleep with you tonight” Dylan’s mum replied “fine Dylan”. I will let your dad know in the morning.
