"Once you enter this storybook land, you become a part of the story. And I am the writer."

This strange child was the central character of a dream which was divided between several main characters - a group of teens led by a boy with short, spiky dark hair and glasses; a mother and her young daughter; and an amateur documentarian/journalist. These people had stepped into the domain of this child (if he/she - I couldn't even tell - was actually a child), and found themselves a part of a rather dark, twisted fantasy world, full of weird carnival/childhood elements. There was a bizarre sphinx/chimera creature with a doll's face, there was a black toy-like horse whose head would twitch in that creepy Silent Hill manner, and there were four child-sized crystalline creatures (each a different color) which had no faces at all. And then there was the darkness, the swirling shadow-creations that could go anywhere, but were most prominent in the small room where this child apparently stayed, at the heart of this strange place. There were pages upon pages of writing, there were scribbles and drawings everywhere, and there was a small alcove that contained a large mirror. When the mother found this place while looking for her daughter, all hell broke loose, as this child was apparently very territorial when it came to private space, and didn't like anyone touching their stuff.

Overall, it was creepy but at the same time there was a lot of interesting stuff, and it might be worth making a more developed character or story out of it.
