Summary
At fifteen years old, Todd woke in the middle of the night unable to move or breathe. Something was on his chest — something with weight, shape, and intention. He could feel fingers tightening around his throat.
What he saw was not a vague shadow. It had form. It had eyes. And it was furious. The encounter lasted only minutes, but it felt endless. When it finally vanished, he remained awake the rest of the night, trying to convince himself it had been a nightmare.
Years later, he discovered descriptions of sleep paralysis that closely mirrored his experience. The paralysis. The suffocation. The hallucinated presence. But one detail still troubles him: it did not feel like a dream.
And after that night, the unexplained experiences in his life increased — as if something had been triggered. Was it a neurological event… or something else entirely?
