Last resorts

The last time I woke up at two AM was a little over three years ago. It wasn’t sleep paralysis, or lucid dreaming. It was like having a bad dream, then waking up with a jolt and then getting the feeling that someone’s watching you and then your heart vibrates against your chest. Maybe it’s just a sick premonition but it’s not something common. Feeling like someone’s watching you from a particular space in the dark is not normal. I think. I experienced exactly that. I even kept looking at *that* particular space. I ended up forcing myself to sleep and waking up late.
