Sleep but not deep
Mind awake but not complete
Control of muscles
Not in my control
Haunted and horrified
I feel paralysed
Try my best to open my eyes
Scream for help and move my hand
Staring blankly at the darkness in front, hearing the ticking of a clock
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Panic slowly starts to rise in the shadow-engulfed surroundings
