Sesame Street Nightmare

Almost every 4 year old loves Sesame Street, especially Mary Anne. Everyday after school,
She would watch Sesame Street.
Her mother would continuously tell her to stop watching tv and get to her homework.

She would reply every time with “Homework can wait till later.”

She never did it though, so she gets in trouble at school every time.
She gets low grades in every test because she never studies.
Her mother tries her hardest to wake her up from her laziness.

Today was not different from the rest. She was silently watching Sesame Street late at night.

“Mary I’m switching that tv off if you don’t do your homework for the day!” Said her mom.

“I don’t care.” Replied Mary. She intently watched her show all night. At exactly 12:00 midnight,
she felt like she was about to doze off. All of a sudden she felt wide awake. Sesame Street was still on,
but it seemed a bit off.

Elmo was singing a song “I love you, you love me. We’re a happy family.” It was sung in a creepy tone.

Mary knows that song was from Barney. Elmo’s friends were starting to fade away,
so now it was just Elmo in a pitch black room.

Elmo started coming out of the tv while wildly chanting “DO YOUR HOMEWORK MARY!”

Mary was loudly screaming. It started slowly walking to her. And then…

It was gone. It was like everything went back to normal.

“Wait a second, everything is back to normal.”

She said. The tv was turned off and she was covered by a blanket.
She could hear her mother quietly snoring in the distance.
She then quickly ran to her room and did her homework.

Mary told herself “I promise to do my homework everyday.”

She did that just incase that “Elmo spirit” never bothers her again.
Her mom woke up to her doing her homework.
She smiled and silently walked away so she wouldn’t bother her.
