Hard to follow
Hi D.A! 
 
Funny enough, I actually tried to minimise the incoherent aspects of dreaming for this, but still wanted to leave a lot for the reader to decide themselves.  
 
I wrote it with the idea in mind that most of the time in dream situations, there is no real 'story' - in nightmares, it's mainly just the horror, and inability or (in this case ability) to overcome it. 
 
I just posted a reply to another comment there, and explains a bit about the ideas behind the story. Have a wee read! 
 
Thanks,

Ambiguity
Hello Resistence. 
 
You've answered your own question really! 
 
The piece starts with the main character suffering 'central sleep apnea',then the main body of the story is the horrific middle of the night experiences which are very real to the sufferer. 
 
The story is based on nightmares that I've had,and also what other people have reported - people have claimed that they have been visited/abducted/experimented on by other worldly beings- e.g. grey and blue aliens - but it can all be attributed to a sleeping disorder called 'sleep paralysis' . 
 
For the main part of story when it's dark,the protagonist is controlled by the paralysis,but then in the end in the daylight, he controls it and experiences what some would report as an 'out of body experience' or 'astral projection', though I believe when this happens that it is simply no more that 'lucid dreaming'. 
 
So to address your uncertainty, there mightn't be a real visitation, but like yourself, the character isn't too sure! 
 
Thanks,

Hi. 
 
I'm glad you liked it. I'm new to all this, and didn't know what to expect opinion-wise, because I haven't really received comment on my writing since I was at school, and I'm glad that so far, much of it has been positive. 
 
Thanks!

Edited it!
'Butcher' is a harsh word, Chad. I think a better description is that we 'help the English language to EVOLVE with modernity'. ;D 
 
I just edited my story a bit there, but I still insisted on not changing "couldn't've"!

"couldn't've"
Hi Chad! 
 
I meant for humour, but the main themes were inspired by the death of a guy I knew. Dirkin suggested moving it to ‘humour’, but it wouldn't fit there, or anywhere else as it is - it’s my first piece, and really just a sketch for something that I may develop more. 
 
Anyway, when I was at the guy’s wake, I thought if he was there, he might speak out about how unusually nice everyone was being about him. I also thought that even if we had more time with people after they died, we still probably wouldn’t make the most of it – like we don’t spend quality time with people when they're alive and so on... 
 
“Couldn’t’ve” isn’t a word, but an abbreviation of the sentence “couldn’t have”, which I changed it from deliberately for consistency - the same girl says “I’d’ve” earlier on, which also isn’t ‘correct’ - but sure anything goes inside quotation marks cause no one really talks proper-like. I mean, I just looked at your profile and wondered, is “effecientcy” a word? ;) 
 
Thanks.
