I'm Happy With My Current Provider Of Nightmares

Erika has been dealing with the same thing every night.

She wakes unable to move, held in place by... something. 

She knows this.

She is used to this.

She can handle this.

...

Until it's not alone.

Another short horror story. This is an idea I've had in mind for ages but I've struggled to get it down into a full story before now. It was inspired by the title quote, a scary personal experience, a little bit of my depression and a couple of terrifying game experiences, though I don't know how well I've been able to capture those feelings. It's a bit shorter than what I usually write but I'm glad I've finally got it down. As always I'd love to hear your thoughts and I hope you enjoy reading. 

CW: Anxiety, depression.
