It was another dream. Brought on by the book, I'm sure. I thought "How could she be so sure no one was still in the house?". Turns out I was right. We three were there, in the dark. Just getting in. We made the same mistake. We didn't even turn the lights on. We went upstairs but he chased us back down. An elderly man. Wearing a hat. We tripped and collided with each other trying to get out. He cut her in the back. She had fallen on me and I saw her shocked, dying face.
This is where I woke up. Why I've suddenly started having nightmares again is a mystery to me. Not much has changed other than school ending. I'm trying to remember to write them down. But I've lost a few. Maybe I didn't really want to remember them.
