I want to leave it open. As it stands now it could be aliens, demons, monsters, or something unknown and far more sinister. The reason I didn't confine it to a single thing was because different readers are scared of different things and the mind usually jumps to what it fears first. If I made it about aliens abducting people, then some readers might think it silly or not at all scary likewise with any of the other potential things that could be behind it.

This pasta was inspired by a couple of times that I suffered from Sleep Paralysis and I sort of wanted to capture that spirit (I knew what was going on, but I didn't know why). Sleep Paralysis is different for different people, it is believed to be responsible for a large percentage of alien abductions and cases of demonic possession. I got lucky when I went through it and just had a feeling of my bed jumping up and down, it also helped that I'd read about Sleep Paralysis before, so I knew what was happening and wasn't freaking out.

Thank you for your feedback :) It is appreciated! I just don't want to tinker with it and mess up what I have, subtlety is more in this case.
