I’ve always had a problem sleeping at night.  Sleeping during the day wasn’t a problem. I could always lay down and go to sleep during the day without issues.  Night time though, it was like my body wanted to stay awake.

However, the world doesn’t work with that schedule for a child or many adults.  Schools are only during the day, Most jobs are only available during the day. You would think I would be exhausted after forcing myself to stay awake all day, but no.  If the sun was down before I tried to go to sleep in the evening, I would be fighting for most of the night to get to sleep.

This was a good night though.  I think I was twenty. I finally had a place of my own.  I was living by myself in a small, studio apartment, but it was mine.  I loved it. When I went to bed that night, it was still before sundown.  I was able to fall asleep quickly.

However having gone to sleep so early, I woke around 3 am.  I opened my eyes long enough to see the time on the clock before closing them again.  I just laid there trying to sleep. I didn’t want to move. I didn’t want to open my eyes even.

I was drifting in and out for awhile as I laid on my stomach.  This was the normal fight I went through when I tried to sleep at night.  Then I felt something climb onto the bed. Well, climb might be the wrong word.  It was more like suddenly their was pressure on the bed between my feet. My legs weren’t that far apart so when it started moving up to the head of the bed, it was shortly putting what felt like hands into my thighs.

Slowly this thing or being, crawled up my legs then over my hips to my back.  It stopped when it had its hands on my lower back. The pressure made me want to look.  I couldn’t turn my head far enough to see them without being seen by this creature. I was actually too scared to look.  Gradually, it continued up my back. Soon it was standing or kneeling on my back straddling my hips.

I was afraid to move.  My back felt like it had this small person or creature on it straddling my hips.  I wondered what it was. How did it get into my apartment and on my bed. I had heard of people suffering things like this while in what is called sleep paralysis.  Was that what I was experiencing?

What I guessed was it’s head pressed hard against my neck.  Then I felt something wet and rough against my cheek. It was not a large. I would have thought it was a tongue of the creature if it had been larger.

Finally, I opened my eyes to see if I could see the “head” of the creature.  Then I saw it or part of it. It seemed to have fur on it where I could see at that angle.  Finally, I pulled all my nerves together to turn my head to look at it. As I lifted my head, it made what I could only describe as a deep purr against my ear.

Turning my head completely, I came face to face with my Siamese cat, Tanny.
