It was his father's yells that pulled Milo from his deep slumber. He had been dreaming of Transformers and marshmallow teddy bears when he was jerked out of the surreal adventure. The instant he opened his eyes, the dream was lost. He'd liked the dream. It was better than his old nightmares about monsters, and now he was hungry for marshmallows.
Lying on his side, he stared at the window across the darkened room, not certain for a moment why he was awake. His father cried out again, his words almost guttural.
"...they're in the house! Tara, they're in the house! Get the kids!"
Milo's heart accelerated as he listened to the rage filled grunts of his father echoing through the house.
"Milo! Get up! Milo!" his mother screamed, then he heard her bare feet running down the hallway toward his younger sister's bedroom. "Milo!"
Downstairs, his father's voice roared. It reminded the eight-year-old of animals when they fought for their lives in nature documentaries. He always hid his face behind his Optimus Prime pillow while he watched nature shows. Clutching the pillow now, he buried his face against his favorite Transformer’s red chest.
