Perish Song

     I am having an episode. I am experiencing crippling nightmares. Literally, if I let myself doze off for a moment I enter a trance in which I cannot come out of until I nearly faint; awful, and horrid. I observed how the night transitions into day in a span of three hours. The moon and I were one until it disappeared into the horizon and deserted me. Closing my eyes and allowing my mind to drift is the catalyst to an influx of senses which ultimately overpower my brain into submission, causing full immobilization throughout my body. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. A mind numbing buzzing sound is the preemptive sign that it has already begun. You try to kick your legs or flail your arms, but nothing seems to work and you realize you only made it worse. You try and yelp, but create no sound. Something is impeding the signals from your brain to your body. Your chest feels heavy, a tear runs down your face as you think this is finally the end. You think in your head, how is it that I am in a house full of people and nobody witnesses this, you want somebody to just slap you out of it, but nobody suspects a thing. On top of being completely paralyzed, your mind conjures up the most terrifying sequence of events, images and scenarios possible, the likes that would make Dante himself affright. But alas, as quick as it began it has ended, and you reclaim your newly distraught mind. The first thing you do is wiggle your toes. You open your eyes (unless they were open the whole time) and scan the room for any entities, but find none. Clammy hands and beads of sweat across the hairline is all you have to show for your ordeal. Nobody will truly understand the gravity of what you just went through. They say public speaking is worse than death. You breathe a sigh of relief and gently shut your eyes; before you could realize your mistake you hear a faint buzzing sound and try desperately to open them, but cannot; you must wait till the end of the song.
