Thank you so much for reading my story and giving me such amazingly long comments! I am dedicating this to you because you inspired me to write this chapter about Farok!
To everyone:
I know it is short, but after you read it, you will understand why it is. Because of its shortness, I should get a real chapter out in a few days. This took me only like ten minutes to write!
Also, this chapter would be better suited before last chapter, so I decided to make this chapter two, if that makes sense? I wish I could move it around, but oh well!
I put Farok in the title to indicate this is for his POV. I will be editing a few things in the past chapters, and adding this in to the last ones as well!

Whispering.
The only thing I'm able to make out from the background around me is whispering. I have no clue who it is, or what they want. Or why they're near me in my room while I'm trying to sleep.
Without a second thought, I decide to open my eyes to confront them. They have no business being in my room!
But there's a little problem with that. I can't open my eyes. I try with all my might to open them, but they will not budge.
Instead, I decide to kick, or walk with my eyes closed to them- whatever I can do. Try as I might to move any part of my body, I can't.
I even try to move my eyes behind my lids, but I can't. I am fully and completely paralyzed.
~~~
I wake up, realizing that that was only a dream. I mentally wipe my brow to calm myself. Except, the problems still continue. For some reason, I am not able to open my eyes, and I can't move any of my body parts either. I know this is not a false awakening. I've had those before, and they never feel this real.
I want to scream in agony, but I can't. I can't. I am prisoner in my own thoughts.

Very short, but dramatic, am I right?
