I woke up to a stranger sleeping beside me. He was really beautiful, so much so that it scared me even more than the fact he was right next to me and I didn’t know how he got there to begin with. There was something so eerie about him. I wanted to get out of the bed and call the police, to call for help, but I couldn’t - I was paralyzed in fear, unable to move. I lied there, frozen, for what seemed to be hours. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at me. Dread washed over me. His eyes were pitch black. He smiled and crumbled to pieces, turning into dust. I was horrified, but couldn’t move, still. I felt something behind me, holding me. I knew it was him somehow. He put his arms, deathly white, veiny, doll-like, around me and whispered in my ear. He said, “Wake up.” And so I did.
