The blanket is too tight. Or is it the sheets? I can’t move. I’ve heard of dream paralysis, but this is ridiculous. What’s the deal?
The pain in my chest intensifies as the blanket wraps around my throat like a clinging vine. I can’t breathe.
My feet flail, but something holds them. A low growl confirms my suspicion. “Bella!” I shout, twisting my head. My Rottweiler’s disapproval is evident as her teeth clamp down tighter on the quilt.
I lunge to recapture it, sending us both tumbling to the floor. I scold her, but she is already shredding my slippers.
