In a time where I was haunted constantly of the infamous “superquake” that supposedly happens every ~300 years or so, I woke up and found myself unable to move. The room was shaking, similarly to when I’d experienced my first ever earthquake. I immediately picked up on it, but found I couldn’t even move. Yet I persisted. As I finally managed to move, the experience subsided.

It took me years to realize this was my first and only experience with sleep paralysis.
