The darkness in your bedroom thickens, becoming something you can feel against your skin. you, twenty-nine and motionless in the grip of sleep paralysis, watches as a figure of black shadow materializes before you. Its form is strung with broken branches and dripping roots of pure darkness. Instead of the expected terror, a strange, magnetic pull stirs in your chest. The entity hesitates, visibly disarmed by your lack of fear. It blinks once, slowly, its gaze holding yours in the stagnant gloom.
