SleepParalysis

You are standing inside of your [[room]] after a long day of school. You are tired and want nothing more than to go to [[sleep->Sleeping]].

You are shocked awake by the feeling of being watched. An aura of someone else's presence was sensed in the room. You open your eyes but could not move. [[Look around to see what's wrong.->Look]] [[Ignore and go back to sleep.->Ignore]] [[Try to move.->move]]

You look around the room. In the closet is a [[face->face1]]. It was sickly white with black hollow eyes. Its cheeks sunked in and its skin looked like leather. The face locks eyes with you. [[Close eyes.->Close eyes]] [[Try to move.->Move2]]

You can't go back to sleep. The feeling of being watched is keeping you awake. [[<<<<back->Sleep]]

You could no longer stare at the face, but you could not take your eyes off it. You were afraid that if you did... it would move closer. [[<<<<back->Look]]

As the atmosphere became more dense its [[face->face2]] was growing more distorted. [[Close eyes.->eyes2]] [[Try to move.->Move4]]

You could no longer stare at the face, but you could not take your eyes off it. You were afraid that if you did... it would move closer. You felt as if it would attack or... [[<<<<back->Keep on Looking]]

You look around your room. Your [[desk->hw]] has pencils and paper on top of it. The floor has [[dirty laundry->laundry]] that has been piling up. The [[TV->tv]] is turned off.

It feels as if something has taken all the energy from you. You are unable to move. [[<<<<back->Sleep]]

It was heart pounding everytime it spoke. It was silent but its presence was so loud. As if the silence itself was screaming. [[Keep looking.->face3]] [[Close eyes.->eyes]] [[Try to move.->Move5]]

You could not look away. The thing from the darkness yelled at you with deafening silence. [[<<<<back->scream]]

You realize that if it never goes away ... You will be locked in a forever staring contest with an enitity from beyond your understanding. [[Keep looking.->ending2]] [[Close eyes.->pre end]]

The unnatural darkness from within the closet begins to consume the room. As it gets closer the moonlight begins to fade away. The whole room becomes [[pitch black->BadEnding1]].

It is as if weights were lifted from your body and you were able to move again. [[Leave room.->restroom]] [[Close closet.->closet]] [[Play video games.->final]] [[Go back to sleep.->sleep]]

You walk to the restroom ... Splash water on your face and convince yourself that it was all in your head. [[<<<<back->ending1]]

You close your closet which gives you a small sense of relief. [[<<<<back->ending1]]

You fall back to sleep and begin to [[dream->Badend1]] once again.

You decide to play a game you recently bought instead of going back to [[sleep->Final]]. You think back to yourself...

You have unfinished homework, but you are too [[tired->Start]] to do it.

You need to put the laundry in the wash, but you are too [[tired->Start]] to do it.

You think about turning on the TV, but you are too [[tired->Start]] to watch anything.

As you build up the courage to close your eyes, the void in the closet starts to lighten and the face [[disappears->ending1]].

You are exhausted and collapse on your bed. You decide to go to bed first before getting any work done. You quickly drift to sleep and begin to [[dream->info]] about a game you recently bought.

You are at the 5th and final stage when you have to beat the boss. The boss is called Rakshasa Eater of Man. Also known as [[REM->Sleep]].

You could not look away. You were afraid that if you did... it would move closer. You felt as if it would attack or... Somehow take you with it. [[<<<<back->Keep on looking]]

It felt as if your body was frozen and your brain forgot how to move its limbs. You are unable to move. [[<<<<back->Look]]

You could feel the heat coming from your body... but you could not move. [[<<<<back->Keep on Looking]]

As you stare at the [[face->face1/2]] it starts to mouth words to you. It was making no sounds but as it talked it grew more and more intense. [[Close eyes->Keep on closing eyes]] [[Try to move->Move3]]

You could feel the goosebumps crawling up your body... but you could not move. [[<<<<back->Keep on looking]]

You could hear the sound of your heart beat... but you could not move. [[<<<<back->scream]]

You are in a dark room when a glimmer of light in the distance begins to grow closer. Suddenly a door appears and through it you see a person. [[Call out to them.->Call]] [[Examine person.->Examine]]

You call out to them but not a sound leaves your mouth. [[<<<<back->Badend1]]

As you look closer at the person in the bed... They look back at you with widen eyes, not moving an inch. You start to [[silently yell->final3]] after realizing that you are staring at yourself.

Now it is just you and the [[face->final3]] with an endless silent yelling.

"It was like it came and went... just to feed on my fear."
