The Puppet’s Payback and other chilling tales

I Hoped I was Dreaming, for it I were awake. I was face-to face with a ghost .

Pulling the sheet over my head, I lay still. The next time I opened my eyes, the ghost would be gone .

Nothing happened. no on moaned. no cold hand touched me . The dream was over. Slowly, I lowered the sheet.

She was still there, a pale, motionless form at the foot of my bed .

“What do you want?” I whispered.
