While having an otherwise peaceful sleep
a night hag froze and frightened him.
Trapped, unable to move, he tried to
panic himself into the waking state.
He failed as the night hag became
more menacing and drew closer
to him.
To make things worse, the night hag
looked exactly like his dead ex-wife.
Then an idea popped into his mind
and he mentally made
the sign of the cross.
And poof, the night hag aka his ex
dissolved back into the darkness
and he woke up and
gave his wife’s bullet-ridden corpse
a proper burial from the freezer
in his ceiler to a secret plot
hidden behind some flowers
in their backyard.
