Somno Slave

by Holly Guy

Sleep Paralysis Demon:

I am not interested in her consent.

I am here for her collapse.

Doctor Rheda Ainsley enters my cell believing she has been trained to observe, to diagnose and sentence me. She thinks she is in control; she believes the glass keeps her separate from me.

But she doesn’t know that I am not here to be analysed. I am here to overwrite her. To hollow her out and rebuild her memories around my seductive whispers.

When she closes her eyes at night, it’s my face she fantasies about. It’s my hot body touching her unconscious one.

I correct her thoughts in her sleep. I teach her how easily control dissolves. I isolate her from her profession, her colleagues, her sense of moral authority. I break her until she needs me to function. Until she craves the place where I hurt her because it is the only place she feels whole. Until there is no version of her left that can exist without my presence pressing against the inside of her skull.

This is not seduction.
This is conditioning.

Dream by dream, I will make my sweet little doctor my somno slave.

I lost her once.

This time, I will bury myself inside of her.

And she will never wake up clean again.
