Bad Nightmare!

Once there was a boy and his name was Kyle and had a bad nightmare. Kyle had to go to bed and on the way he hit his head.

Kyle said “Ouch”. But he finally went to sleep and the nightmare began. Kyle dreamed he was jumping out of an aeroplane. He tried to use his parachute but it didn’t work. Kyle thought to himself…I’m going to be okay.

Then he went into another dream and he was in a forest. There he saw an ape. He said “Aren’t you a cute thing?!” The ape screamed at him and Kyle yelled “I’m out of here!” He wasn’t fast enough and as the ape was just about to catch him, he went into another dream.

Kyle was in a dark room and couldn’t see at all. He woke up and found that it was all a bad night.
