Close your eyes.....think about something happy. Maybe food? Your crush? Or money! Now, open your eyes! Seems like a easy command, right? Well, until you can't. Until someone or someTHING is preventing you from waking up or opening your eyes. Maybe it's just apart of the imagination. Or overthinking. Or maybe it's because of stress, anxiety, or depression. Well, what if it were all these things and more? 

While not being able to open your eyes imagine you feel yourself wake up or you know you're awake but you can't move. You see your room, you can see where your purse is on the dresser, the missing sock you've been looking for on the floor, and your bookbag on the other side of your room. You can see and think but you can't move a muscle. 

You're awake but how can you be awake when your eyes aren't open? It's called sleep paralysis. Many people reported experiencing sleep paralysis where they are in the REM stage asleep but they feel like they're awake but cannot move. People stay in this position for about 20 minutes or less. Sleep paralysis is scientifically defined as "A temporary inability to move or speak while falling asleep or upon waking." 
Many people experience this in their REM stage of sleeping.

Promise, a 17 year old high school student experienced her first encounter of sleep paralysis after a unexpected death. The death traumatized Promise so much that she started to experience sleep paralysis, but this is not normal sleep paralysis. There is a Demon coming after Promise and Promise takes everything in her to stay alive. Amongst her fight, Promise discovers secrets about the death, secrets about people she thought she knew, and secrets about herself. She must find out what happened the night of the death, and finding out meant she had to stay alive.

[NOW PUBLISHED ON AMAZON! You can buy it here: http://bit.ly/ColdFireBUY] [*SAMPLE ONLY* LAST 10 CHAPTERS REMOVED] [A Wattpad featured novel] Melissa has a rare, undiagnosed disease, or so say the doctors that did tests on her for half of her life. She doesn't need a medical certificate to tell her that she's different. She was born with a body temperature so low that most people would die before they even started living. Keyword: most. Somehow, Melissa has managed to live for fifteen years, but those years have not been without their hardships. The doctors told her that in order for her organs to function in such cold conditions, her body must absorb the heat from the surrounding air in a painful process dubbed a "heat attack", which slowly turns her temporary home freezing and uninhabitable. Forced to move from city to city in order to keep everyone in her vicinity alive, and plagued by the stares and hushed whispers that accompany her, Melissa tries to lead a normal life. But she's failing miserably. And when she's approached by the new kid in school, all hope of an ordinary life slips from her grasp. Suddenly, strange is the new normal, and Melissa finds herself wrapped up in a new world where ghosts aren't "just in her head", glass windows shatter unprovoked, and rare, undiagnosed diseases aren't actually diseases at all. And to top it all off, someone - or multiple someones - seem to want her dead. So much for normal... © 2013 by shayebay All Rights Reserved PUBLISHED JUNE 26, 2019 WITH TYPEWRITER PUB!!

Do paranormal things, witches and magic exist? There are gifts that are waiting to be discovered. The mythical power is just waiting beyond the deepest darkest tunnel of the unknown. Only the brave learns to test the waters amidst the labyrinth of its knotted mystery. PLEASE, NO PLAGIARISM. (~Created July 6, 2018:Finished August 5, 2018~) Being engrossed in studying his current case detained him from leaving at once until he forgot the time. He never mentioned to Hera that he's going home after two decades. Only his youngest child knows of his trip back home. Whether he believes in curse or not. It's his 45th birthday tomorrow and he must be home to keep his promise to his mother. His family had never forsaken him, he did. He'd been ignoring their summons since he turned his back from them. Perhaps it's time to grant their plea. He closes his office and walks to the elevator. "Good evening, Artemis." The man in a black jacket greets him. Artemis smiles at the stranger. "Do I know you?" The stranger puts his arm around the stunned lawyer. Behind the unknown man's dark glasses are bloodshot eyes ready to scare the wits out of his prey. "Your mother does. She's expecting me to greet you happy birthday." Removing his dark glasses, he stares at his victim to corrupt his eyes. Insurmountable fear assaults Artemis as excruciating pain drills on his eyeballs. A horrible scream slits through the silence of the night when the clock strikes twelve. As the elevator opens, the stranger loosens his grip and the victim falls on the floor. Covering his bleeding eyes, Artemis winces from severe pain. The man whistles away as he walks past the dead body of the security guard in the lobby to the snowy road outside the building. His victim crawls out of the closing elevator. The curse is true. He must get into his car before his sight totally leaves him. He must warn his family. " I must save Athena!"
