SLEEP PARALYSIS #shorthorrormovie

✅ **😨 Short Horror Story: *Sleep Paralysis***

Ayaan jolted awake, his body frozen. His chest felt like a heavy weight was pressing down on it. He tried to move—nothing. He tried to scream—silence.

In the corner of his dark room, a **shadow** twitched. His breath quickened as it **crawled closer**, its limbs jerking unnaturally. The dim glow of his night lamp flickered, revealing **hollow, sunken eyes** staring right at him.

The figure loomed over him, its **rotting fingers** grazing his cheek. Ayaan struggled, but his body remained still. It leaned in closer, whispering in a voice that **wasn’t human**:

*"I’ve been waiting for you to wake up."*

Then, it **smiled**—a grotesque, stretched grin.

Ayaan felt his heartbeat slow. The darkness **swallowed him whole**.

The next morning, his parents found him **staring at the ceiling**, eyes wide open, breathless. His lips still curved into a **silent, lifeless smile**.

🔥 **THE END.**
