Chapter 11

From the private notes of Dr. Wade Bow, K1 Dig Site 4, date unknown:

Had my first bout of predormital sleep paralysis last night. It was expected, given the insomnia. What I didn't expect was for it to feel so real. Now I understand why the miners are scared.

The figure standing over me was a shadow, but also solid. My mind was a hundred percent convinced it was physically present. Terrifying.

Another surprise was how familiar the shadow seemed. I had the eerie feeling that I would have recognized it, if I could have just seen its face.
