James, an 8-year-old, who was in his room reading his horror genre book. He is getting scared, as he is reading the book. While reading his horror book, he seems to be getting scared and getting bad thoughts. He is showing his emotions his fear.

James: (Sitting on his bed reading his book) The book had a lot of pictures, which helped him imagine the visuals further. (stopping after finishing the sentence), to imagine how the boy in the story is in his room under the bedsheet. The boy is also trying to sleep but he can’t so he stays up late night under his bed with a flashlight. He is thinking about how hard school life is. Then all of a sudden, he hears loud thuds on his house roof. He gets scared and shut off his lights, and stays quietly under the bedsheet.

As soon as James heard that part, (he also went under his bedsheets). After reading that, James closed the book. James is also scared about how he might hear a loud thud in his sleep. So he then closes his eyes and tries to sleep. (Deep pause in his thinking process). James is so scared after reading that horror comic, that even though he barely started. He got scared at the beginning and closed the book.

James is trying to sleep but he can’t because it left him curious about what is going to happen next. He rolls around in his bed, trying to sleep but he can’t because he needs to go to the washroom. But James is so scared, that he wouldn’t dare to step out of his bedsheets till it’s morning time to go to school. James tries to hold it in, and then later ends up falling asleep. Then, in the middle of the night, he wet his bed and he also realized that he did. But he didn’t bother to step out of it, to change his clothes and tell his parents. He just stays in his bed.

James then wakes up after his alarm goes off, for waking up to go to school. After that, James realized that he was still lying in his bed. He didn’t wet his pants, and he was sleeping perfectly fine. It was all just a bad dream. He then looks at his horror book and ends up realising that, he was so tired that he dreamt of reading a book while falling asleep reading a book before bedtime. The horror book was nowhere as scary as James’s dream was a dream sequence.
