Hey, /x/
I don't typically post. I'm more of the lurker type. I like to be scared by other people's experiences. Sadly, though, I just got the complete shit scared out of me. In fact I'm sitting in my bed, teary eyed, completely shaking, trying to figure out what just happened.
I don't want to get your hopes up, this isn't some crazy spoopy story. But this just happened about six minutes ago.
I was (and still am) on the phone with my friend, let's just call her A. She lives alone in a studio apartment, in the area of Cleveland Heights. At around... 1 AM (it's currently 5 AM, EST) she fell asleep. We had been talking for an hour at that point. Before she dozed off, we had been speaking about her nightmares she had been having over the past few days. She was so genuinely terrified of falling asleep that I was kind of 'last resort' of sorts, as we don't typically talk on the phone. But, anyways. She fell asleep at 1, like I previously stated. And being the kind, caring, friend that I am, I decided to stay on the phone with her. It's not difficult to do, as I'm just watching Netflix and am prone to staying up until 6-7 AM. I had been sitting, listening to her breathe (not actively listening, but I checked back every so often) for about 4 hours. It was peaceful at first. A typical, deep breath. The kind of breathing that is relaxed, calm, and soothing. A deep inhale, a slow exhale. A pattern. I sat watching Peaky Blinders, occasionally putting my headphone in to hear her breathe. Then, around 4:30, her breathing became rapid. Short, sharp breaths. The kind that you take while running. I assumed she was having a nightmare. I let it continue for about 15 minutes, and then tried my best to wake her up by calling her name a few times. I got a few mumbles out of her. Random gibberish, and a few half-breath gasps.
