My little brother had what I’m fairly certain was a night terror tonight and it was not funny like Kirk in Gilmore Girls, it was awful.
He was sat straight up in bed screaming and crying and shouting for mum but he didn’t react at all to me, which was weird at the time but now I think it was just because he was still asleep, then after I got mum and his eyes were open, she was trying to comfort him but he kept pushing her away still shouting for mum. A couple seconds later he really suddenly just calmed down, like he was still crying but didn’t seem scared anymore and my mum asked if he was alright and he said ‘I want to go home’, given he was in his bed, that was worrying. During all this he had wet himself (he’s only 7 so I’m allowed to tell you that) and then he refused to get out of bed because he’d have to go over the wet bit so I had to lift him over the side, it’s a top bunk bed so that was more challenging than it sounds, but my hair was wet so he started screaming again and when I put him down he shoved me and ran to the other side of the room saying I was ‘all wet and disgusting’ and then he seemed to actually wake up and was just really disorientated and confused.
It was actually horrible to watch because he was clearly terrified but we had no way of consoling him (apparently he’s done it before so my mum wasn’t all that concerned but it’s the first time I’ve seen him do it) but then afterwards he couldn’t remember what happened and was back to his normal self and just wanted to go back to sleep.
>>I’m in the house alone, I heard a weird noise and my dog barked at nothing earlier. It was nice knowing you, please come to my funeral.
