I had to write a story based on this image

I stood in the doorway of my son’s bedroom, watching him in
his deep, peaceful slumber. I smiled at the thought of him finally
getting a decent nights rest, for earlier this week, he had confided
in me that he had been having terrible, horrifying nightmares that
woke him up in the early hours of the morning. I was glad that, tonight, that wasn’t happening. As I turned to leave, something unusual caught my eye. A small, glowing orb of light was hovering by my son’s bedroom window! I was mesmerised, the way it moved was hypnotic. The orb started to float towards my son’s bed. Unable to move, I wondered if this… thing was giving my son these terrible nightmares? I watched it float, closer and closer, to my son, just lying there helplessly and I feared what this thing might be able to do. They orb hovered just inches from my son’s head, its light radiating softly. Then suddenly my son’s peaceful expression turned to one of horror and he started to toss and turn. I felt my body slump to the floor, while my hand was clenched tightly to the door handle. What was happening? Why was this thing burdening my son’s sleep? Suddenly there was a bright flash of light and a tiny voice asked, “is he the one?” and over by the window, two more orbs appeared and their lights flickered, seeming to mean yes. The orb that had been floating over my son’s head then joined the other two. They merged together and grew and grew, until the light was blinding! I had to shield my eyes. And as suddenly as it came, the light vanished! I stood up, shaking, and went to check on my son’s condition. When I got to the bed, he was nowhere to be found!
