H50 Drabble: Never too Big
A 100 word drabble for 1-million words, prompt Hurt me, heal me-nightmares:
When her parents first separated, Grace had nightmares practically every night, but once Danno moved to Hawaii, the dreams stopped.
So when she and Uncle Steve decided to celebrate her first week of summer vacation by having a horror movie marathon, Danno wasn’t too worried.
It was viewing The Ring that had set Grace over the edge. She’d woken up frightened at 1am and now she sat miserably between a guilt-stricken Steve and resigned Danno. Steve had his arm around her shoulder while Danno had his arms around both of them, all three silently taking comfort from each other’s presence.
