I first saw it when I was twelve.
It was watching me from the doorway, in the inch of space my parents had left open to dote lovingly upon me as they passed. A terrible, unnatural stiffness swept down my body. Every muscle went suddenly still, refusing to respond, like the rigor of death. In the dark, through the corner of my small eye, I saw the door inching its way silently open. The horror I felt to see it move, I cannot accurately describe. I was only a child.
It was a black shape that emerged from the darkness. It did not hurry. The figure neared the edge of my bed. It was watching me. My eyes were frozen helplessly on the ceiling. I couldn't quite see it, but I felt it looming closer. If it could breathe, its breath would have stirred the small hairs of my face.
The creature stayed there, its head just out of my sight. Hours passed as it watched, I am sure of it. Yet, after a time, I fell asleep. And when I awoke, it was gone.
It returned again three years later. As before, the demon spied on me from the doorway. This time, it did not approach. The terrible paralysis was still set into my bones. I was helpless but to lie there and wait to see if it would kill me then.
When it left, I admit, I was unhappy to be left alive. To wait for the next encounter felt the greater punishment. I was certain by now that my fate was already sealed.
Years passed, and I finally found a name for it. It was not so uncommon after all. Sleep paralysis, they called it. A state when the body is trapped between dreams and reality. Between hallucination and nightmare.
For the first time in years, I slept with a lightened heart. The fear was real, but the monster was not. It could be faced. Life could go on.
With the first chance I had, I left my childhood home for a school in the city. I was eighteen by then. The other schoolchildren lamented our overcrowded rooms and the busy hallways of our dormitories. They complained that they couldn't sleep for all that noise, the commotion. In truth, they missed being home.
For me, though, I slept like the dead. I made up for a lifetime of nights spent with one eye open. For the first time, the bud of contentment blooming inside of my heart. I was eager to see what life now held before me.
Days passed before it found me again.
My eyes were open before the door was cracked. The door had been locked. It locked automatically; there was no mistaking it. Even in my terror, I knew this. And still the door crept open silently in the dim light.
It was never truly dark in the room. Too much light spilled in from the streetlamps outside. I saw its black head push through the door, slowly revolving around the room, searching for me. There were horns on its head -small, twisted stubs that ended in a violent point. Its wide, unblinking eyes found me and the door crept open still. For a child to accept their fate, as I did then, is something that saddens me to this day.
What a fool I had been, though, to think it only a nightmare. A figment to be ignored. To deny what my own eyes had seen?
It crept like a shadow across my room. It grew larger in the corner of my eye. Its body wasn't black, like I had assumed, though its skin was dark. Its eyes never left mine, never blinked. It had a lithe body, bare and smooth. And it held the proud, arrogant face of a hunter unchallenged by its prey.
Hands with heavy claws dragged softly over my body, feeling their way across the tight muscles of my chest, and the curves of my shoulders. Still its eyes held onto mine, its face eerily still as it turned me onto my side, pressing my belly to the wall. The bed didn't make a sound as it crawled in behind me.
Then, something else came over me, as sudden as a violent storm in spring. Not paralysis, and not terror either, but need. Mindless, irrational need. My cock swelled against my under clothes, stretching the fabric tight. The pressure in my balls was pushing me past the point of reason. I needed to climax. Nothing else in the world matter. It was overwhelming. There was nothing else left in me but the raw, animal lust.
Its arms came from under mine and wrapped tight around my chest. Its long legs spread mine apart. The knob of its cock, as big as an apple, dragged its way between my cheeks.
