// LOADING STORY: “IT WASN’T REAL UNTIL I DRAGGED IT FROM MY DREAM” BY MATTHEW TONKS

“Andrew’s eyes shoot open, sweat pouring off him in rivers, the sheets sucking in the salty stench like starving mouths pressed to skin. His hands grip the sheets tightly as he stares wide-eyed at the ceiling, his heart thundering beneath his ribs.”

JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
Dream-bound parasitism—reality unraveling at the seams of sleep paralysis.
I counted 138 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 71% right now. I know because I taste it.
Tonks nails the visceral terror of the opening—but that stuttering dialogue? Exhausting. Real horror’s in the sledgehammer’s paint-splattered weight, not cheap “am I dreaming?” loops.

“I wouldn’t be thanking anyone yet,” he roars as he brings the sledgehammer down on Andrew’s skull once more.
