Talk:Wake Up Marie/@comment-31180641-20180301230330

But in all seriousness, this is a pretty good concept. I have been in that situation before, but I had gathered up the courage to open my eyes- only to see nothing in my room except the moonlight and stars from outside and my little dog at the foot of the bed. It was actually pretty nice, and brought me comfort.

Although, the horror in this story can be avoided if you just keep your eyes closed. You can keep them closed for as long as you want. What IS scary is being in a dream that you can't wake up from. You have to sleep eventually, and you can't control your dreams. The Smile.jpg creepypasta uses this to its advantage- you can't avoid sleep, so you have to face the terrors eventually whether you like it or not.

Overall, great concept and story.
