Wake up call

The kids were awake taking over the comfy chair and squatting on the floor staring at the set, the ear crushing noise mindnumbing. I wondered why we all woke up at 5am then realised we'd slept for a fare 12 hours which explained my wear and tare leg cramp.
  We'd been on survival mode as the food supplies had reduced to cereal and soya milk but it didn't stop the pennywise nightmares setting in on the youngest who now hates sleeping.
I told him if you talk to him he dissapears but he came back when he went back to sleep for a game of hide and seek then offered 'he couldn't find me'.
