It's the stories where the protagonist is level-headed and practical about things that really get to me. Because if I relate to them and their practicality and they're screwed, well. I would definitely be screwed.
And yes, you're right about the dreaming. I misspoke. Definitely more of a vision. Exactly like if you're lying in bed and maybe you hear a noise and you tell yourself it's nothing, but then you start picturing what might be there if you just opened your eyes.
he heard the thing the night before and thought it was rats. Just wrote it off as nothing. And then didn't even notice the disheveled bed until the maid pointed it out, which makes me wonder about his observational skills. Didn't he seem kind of...oblivious to some things? Because his non-belief masked the weirdness.
I was talking about it with another friend last night and wondering how long it might have gone on in his room without actually attacking him. If he hadn't seen it and then leapt from his bed upon seeing it sit up, would it have actually gone after him? If he had just stayed still, would it have attacked him that night or waited?
Does it like the chase, both literal and not so literal, because it winds the pursued up that much more?
