GMD: Somniphobia

"... I am ensnared. It’s nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. This horror pursues me. It comes to me each time I fall asleep.

Comes to break me.

To crush me.

To tear me.

To squash me.

It’s crawling in my skin, crawling down through my spine, plunging in me like ice needles, slowly, in each section of my inflamed consciousness. Making me to cave in 'cause of pain and scare. It’s everywhere, it spreads like smoke, filling everything around. It stings me, gnaws from within, swallows completely to destroy, to dissolve in its darkness. Each time I try to break off, to shout, to call someone to help, but it sticks into me, squeezes my throat blocking my breath.

I can't breathe. I can't shout. I even can't make a sound. The body writhes with convulsions while my torturer ruthlessly and methodically cuts the threads of my mind. One by one.

I feel the death’s breath behind my back. I don't want to die. I’m not ready to die. God, help me, I'm so scared!

This feeling of hopelessness… It poisons me, smothers me. And each time when I begin losing forces, when I am ready to surrender, this furious look full of fire and hate flashes, and I explode from within. I wake up 'cause of my own heart-rending scream.

It's painful to breathe, painful to move. The body twists 'cause of tension. Tears can’t stop running from my eyes.

I still feel the presence of my executioner. He's here, he's nearby, he's close, so close. He is looking at me. I hear his humiliating laughter.

The feeling of my helplessness and misery kills me. I press in the bed as hard as I can. To become as unperceivable as possible. To make it possible to lose me in the night gloom.

Not to move... Not to breathe... Otherwise he will find me...

Shiver… I quake of fear. I silently weep…

He knows how to kill me. I wait for him. Each time I hope that this night will be the last still understanding that I am doomed..."

I don't remember when I've written this story. It was not finished. Maybe it even doesn't need to be finished.

Another gloomy work. Well, if it's possible, enjoy!
