My brother was resting on the sofa in the computer room while I played League of Legends. I was so focused on the game that I didn’t notice anything else.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him trembling—but figured he was just asleep.
Suddenly, he gasped and sat up. His eyes darted around the room, wide and panicked, before locking onto mine.
“I was calling for you! Didn’t you hear me?” he asked, breathless.
I blinked, startled. “I didn’t hear you say anything… What the heck?”
He nodded slowly, still trying to catch his breath. He was sweating, which was strange—it was cold that evening.
“I think… I just had sleep paralysis,” he mumbled. My hands trembled as his words sank in.
