Finney sobbed into his mother's chest, clinging to the fabric of her pajamas as he finally stopped fighting against her warm yet solid hold on him. He hadn't realized he had be crying out in his sleep, thrashing beneath his blankets as the nightmare engulfed him- at least, not until his mom managed to rouse him from the terrors.
When he'd calmed down, he'd check his mom to make sure he didn't accidentally hurt her in her quest to rescue him from the echo of horrors he'd already endured.
In the meantime, though, the only thing that was on his mind was what he'd managed to escape physically.
"What if he comes back?" he wailed, warm tears staining the fabric he seemingly was attempting to burrow into. "What if he finds me again!?"
