This was a very fun story to read. I loved reading what was going on from each of the characters point of view and their take on what was roaming around outside the tent, like a ghost, or a person, or a bear. And I thought it was kind of funny how it just turned out to be a harmless dog, which was a bit of a twist since I was kind of expecting it to be something scarier, considering how Scotlyn said there was something supernatural about the presence outside the tent, like a crptid of some sort.

Hi, Anabel,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my story, "Visions of a Newspaper". I am always excited when I receive a comment or suggestion and very much appreciate the feedback. It's important to know how a reader experiences the story.
I first wrote this story as a teenager about thirty-five years ago and kept it in a box along with all my other stories as I was unsure of what to do with it at that time. I then re-wrote and fixed it up just a few years ago after I learned how to post stories on fiction sites like Spark-A-Tale. It's wonderful that writers have this option now!
Thanks again for the feedback and all the best on your own story. I enjoy reading it!

Funny, yet I can see it happening. One time I had a dream about pink monsters trailing our fence (don't judge, I was a kid) and when I woke up, I swear, I heard them enter the house, walk around, and eventually make it to my bedroom. I was on my side, facing the wall, and I didn't dare to move. I just lay there, shaking and sweating for long time, not even daring to get from under the blankets. At some point, I fell asleep again, and woke up in the morning, drenched in sweat.
I don't know how long I was awake, and what caused the noises I heard, if anything, but I can identify with the terror your characters felt.

Hi, N.R.,
Thanks so much for reading my story and sharing your own dream-story about the monsters! I think it's true, that kids experience dreams or dream-like experiences much more vividly than adults. Noises can be much more amplified and frightening in the darkness, as well. I can also remember, as a kid, feeling terrified of a bat-creature which seemed to fly right at me out of the darkness. I just lay stock-still all night, and I never knew whether it was a real bat or a dream-bat.
