You were curled up on the couch, watching a movie, the soft glow of the screen lulling you to sleep. Slowly, your eyelids grew heavy, and soon you drifted off, the room bathed in the dim light of the TV.
Suddenly, a cold breeze swept through the room. You stirred, eyes fluttering open, only to see a tall figure emerging from the wall, its form dark and unnatural. It loomed over you, casting a long shadow.
In a low, echoing voice, it spoke,
"You should never sleep so deeply."
Your breath caught in your throat as its hollow eyes locked onto yours.
