I like goodnight sleep. I like dreams. In fact, I dream almost every day and often get carried away in lucid dreams. “Tomorrow is SBE. I better sleep now” I thought to myself as the clock shows 12:43 a.m. and immediately dozed off. The next thing I knew, I thought I was waking up “Crap. Not again”. I’ve been through these episodes to know well where it was leading to and through the years, I learned that the only option is to keep my eyes shut.

Voices started to fill the room, some sounds like it was coming from the wardrobe thudding on its door, some from under the bed and of course there’s always that one particular voice whispering just before my ears. Incomprehensible, yet familiar voices, well at least at first it was, then it started to sound pushy, demanding and threatening although I can't understand a word of it. I started to feel a sensation on my palm. An unknown touch pressing on my palm and I felt very cold and buzzing as if I were electrified, or covered in static shocks. I tried my best to move but it was hopeless. At the same time, a heavy ringing began in my ears, very loud, and in an even tone. It was at this point I got the sensation that there was someone else in the room, very close to me.

I woke up! No, not so fast. It was just the beginning of an endless loop, replaying the scenario over and over again. Fooled to open my eyes, I saw dark figures crawling with speed across the room, exactly like how things go down in Silent Hill if I may say, and by this, I particularly mean the “Slurper”. Sounds so comically now that I mentioned that. I felt like I was pulled by a force up to the ceiling, against the four walls, down to the floor and it goes on and on. It was torture. Just when I was giving up, it stopped. Sweating and panting, I was glad to hear only the ceiling fan screeching noises, I reached out for my phone “What time is it?”. It has only been 10 minutes since I last replied to a text, 10 minutes since I said tomorrow is SBE. I was in an endless loop of torture that feels like forever which has only been 10 minutes in reality. Well, at least I still got hours more to sleep.

A fiction? Well, it really depends on who’s answering..

Time to sleep now,

Sweet dreams,

Remember,

Keep YOUR eyes shut.
