Paralysis

Sleep paralysis decided to made its attack on me today. I am inside my lonely, dark room. At around 5 AM, I am laying in bed facing the wall next to me. A second later, I feel a strong sense of drowsiness. My eyes are forcibly closing themselves on me. This was a bad sign for me as I know what it means...I make attempts to keep my eyes open for as long as I can but my power is to weak here. I could only guess that I was already in sleep paralysis. I begin struggling to get myself out of it and as I am doing so, I feel some force growing around me. My left ear gets numb and by that time I have already heard something standing behind me... I am going to assume it is an entity for now. It is putting its weight on the bed. I kept my eyes closed the entire time. The demon bends over and licks my neck. It tickles me inside but I remain calm. This demon licks me a few more times, then finally says something. "<PERSON>?", the demon says. I would believe it to be one of my nieces at the time but I knew it could not be because she would never lick my neck. Calmness filled the room. My niece kept saying those words for a while. I started making my way out of this mode, seeing how I always freak out whenever I enter sleep paralysis. I wiggled my fingers and toes and slowly worked my way up until I had enough force to escape. The demon started to say a few other things. There was one other and it would sound something like this, "I am sitting next to a twitcher." After a short while, I was finally free and woke up making sure there was not anything hiding around the bed.

What stood out: paralysis
