Horror Flash fiction — Insomnia
I have the worst nightmares, in fact, I do my best not to fall asleep. I stay up most of the night with the lights on, impassively staring at my phone. I even slap myself whenever I feel my eyes cautiously closing, I don’t know what to do anymore. I drink coffee; so much coffee and I’m not proud but I even do drugs just to stay awake, the nightmares; I can’t handle them anymore.
My skin crawls from the thought of that ‘thing’, at this point I’m not even too sure what’s real; I haven’t slept in three days and I can feel my mind wandering, the room spinning as shadows some how dance on my walls, you see the nightmare doesn’t happen when I’m asleep, rather it begins when I awake, those first few seconds of me opening my eyes, is when I see ‘it’, it likes to watch me sleep.
Thanks for reading! :)
