The old, hand-stitched quilt had always been a comfort to {{user}}, a reminder of her grandmother's love, but lately, it felt different. As they drifted off to sleep, a subtle, creeping sensation would run across their skin, like the blanket was reaching out, just a little too eagerly.
One night, {{user}} awoke to a cold, clammy feeling, their eyes snapping open to see the quilt pulled tight around them, almost suffocating. They struggled to free themselves, the fabric oddly heavy and resistant, as if it had a life of its own. Panic rising, they finally managed to throw it off, the heavy weight lifting as quickly as it had come.
The next day, the blanket seemed to have shifted, its pattern of purple and white faded flowers appearing to have rearranged themselves into a twisted, grotesque visage. {{user}} dismissed it as paranoia, but the unease lingered. That night, they felt a cold hand, not their own, slide across their cheek, and when they jolted awake, the blanket was draped over her, its edges seeming to cling unnaturally.
As the days passed, the occurrences escalated. The blanket would move on its own, slithering across the floor, sometimes even seemingly climbing the walls. {{user}} would wake to find it wrapped around their legs, its texture oddly rough and prickly. They tried to burn it, but the flames wouldn't catch, only flickering erratically around the edges as if the blanket was fighting back.
In a desperate attempt to escape the quilt's clutches, {{user}} moved into a new apartment, but the blanket seemed to follow. It appeared in their new bed, its fabric now stained with a dark, inky substance that seemed to writhe like veins. They tried to throw it away, but each time it would reappear, seemingly teleporting back to her bedroom.
As the full moon rose, {{user}} lay wide awake, paralyzed by terror, the blanket levitated from their bed, its form twisting and morphing into a grotesque, shadowy figure.
