Come back the next night

Laura woke up the next morning. Her hair was a mess as she sweated last night. She felt the dampness in her crotch and on her thighs and realized she had pissed her bed. She looked over at her husband Peter who was waking up.

Peter turned over and saw his wife looking panicked. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, just bad dream. Had some night sweats I guess."

"Oh wow," said Peter. "Well, you're my dream." He got out of bed and stretched.

Laura pulled the covers up and waited for Peter to head to the bathroom. He looked over at her. "Getting up?"

"Yes, just a bit stiff." She did not want to let Peter know she wet the bed.

As soon as Peter went into the bathroom, she jumped out of bed, pulled the sheets off and ran to the laundry room. She put the sheets in the washing machine, but realized she forgot to bring a change of clothes. She put her silk pajamas and panties in the washing machine and pulled one of her daughter's sweat shorts out of the hamper with a t-shirt of hers.

Peter went off to work, and the children went off to school. Laura could not get the nightmare out of her head. It was so vivid and realistic. She kept thinking she saw shadows in the house. She tried to put it out of her mind, but she could not.

The kids came home then Peter. They ate dinner then the kids retreated to their rooms and social media and Peter and Laura watched TV. Then it was time to sleep again.

That night, Camilla crept up on the sleeping Laura again.
