I was getting ready for my MIL and SIL to come over. I had a white dress with small flowers on it over jeans, and a white shirt with large pink flowers on it. I was in the bathroom in front of a wall to wall mirror, agonizing over wether to wear the shirt around my shoulders or tied around my waist. Either way the patterns clashed. I finally decided on around my shoulders (for whatever reason this was a super important decision) I head into the living room. The room in wood paneled and has high vaulted ceilings and orange carpet, like something out of the 70s. The tv is one of the old CRT TVs and my kids are watching Poltergeist, except it’s not the movie I remember. On the TV, a boy is coloring on the couch and his mom yells “when is aunt carol coming over?” The boy responds “I thought she was already here and left. She left some weird guy acting edgy “ the seance cut to this animatronic man with crazy auburn hair laying on a gurney covered in a white sheet except for his head. He said “what did you say?” In an electronic distorted voice. There was a flash of light and he vanished I looked over and my middle son is sitting in front of the tv in a pile of pillows. He’s face looks like he’s going to cry and he’s clearly terrified. He’s hugging his grey stuffed cat pillow. My daughter is sitting on the couch, kinda watching kinda playing Switch. She has the remote. “Shut it off” I yelled. “Why are you even still watching this?” Then I woke.
