So, this ended up being a lot longer than I expected it to be, but still not as long as my last story. 18 pages and 9000 words though. Woops.
I put a lot of research into this, as you can tell by my references. I learnt so much about death, cataplexy, and narcolepsy, but I can't guarantee that everything is 100% medically accurate.
Just putting that out there.
I had so much fun writing this story, and I freaked myself out quite a bit while writing it.
Believe it or not, this is actually based on a true story. I got inspired by the documentary "I Woke Up in a Morgue", it's really interesting. I'd totally recommend checking it out. 
This has actually happened to people. Maybe not the ending, but... eh, you'll see.
Anyways, this story is pretty morbid. And by pretty I mean incredibly, do NOT read it while eating. 
I hope you enjoy it~

Thanksssss

Oh, and special thanks to Rozey for helping me design the cover page.
