It's just a couple minutes before midnight as I finish the day. I shut the lights to my room and lay down on my bed. I am not particularly sleepy nor am I wide awake. Somewhere in between is the somber mood I possess akin to moments after sunset. I can hear the crickets buzzing outside and the cars polluting the serenity in the distance.
A haunting buzz catches my attention. I impulsively check who dares to disturb me at this hour. Turns out it's another osu email notification of a new post in a thread I follow. I never got those for as long as I remember. I suppose that's the forumbot corpse's way of thrashing in digital hell for me to fix it. Poor thing would always look at the threads long before I did. Before the screen goes black I look at the clock to see how long I have to sleep. How wonderful, it's 11:58 PM.
My mind starts wandering off to some random thoughts I have now forgot. The next thing I know I am falling down and- it's one of *those* again. God forbid I turn and find myself facing the paralysis demon in the flesh. Those are only stories, right?
I don't see a thing; it's too dark. Maybe I do see something. I think I see eyes. Very careful I take my phone to take a photo. I think I can almost make out the shape of the monster. Maybe if I look closely...
But you dont look closely. Even if something feels off. It's not the pic, I assure you that. Just dont notice it. Or you will be falling asleep forever like I am. The demon is in there. And it's time.
