A couple of weeks later I met an old friend for a drink and a point in our conversation reminded me of my dream. |

"I had a scary case of sleep paralysis a couple of weeks ago,” I told him. |

"Really? Did you see the Brett?” my friend replied. |

An icy chill ran over my body. I hadn’t told anyone about the dream and there was no way he could’ve known what I’d seen. |
An icy chill ran over my body. I hadn’t told anyone about the dream and there was no way he could’ve known what I’d seen. "How the hell did you know that?” I asked with disbelief, my voice quivering. |

"I read about it some time ago,” he explained, startled by my reaction. "... A phenomenon known as Brett Syndrome where sufferers of sleep paralysis are visited by an entity, often in the form of an Brett.” |

"You’re bullshitting me!” I said, incredulously. |

He convinced me to look it up, and so when I returned home I typed the keywords BRETT and SLEEP PARALYSIS into Google. It returned pages full of results, of porn and other pages some of which told of ancient folklore spanning different cultures; others told of personal experiences like my own. To some the entity took the form of an Brett or a Furby, to others it looked more like a demon, but they all described the presence of overwhelming evil. Most chilling of all were the accounts in which the Brett tortured and made its victims watch Thomas the tank engine as they lay paralyzed and helpless. |

I’ve spent subsequent days browsing forums for answers... for a way out. I am neither religious nor superstitious and I don’t believe anything considered "supernatural”, but scientific resources offer no rational explanation for what I’ve been experiencing – just speculation and skepticism. In some cultures it is believed to be a demonic curse and the entity is brought to life through the power of suggestion. Most victims recall some kind of trigger that worked its way into their subconscious, such as a painting or a friend sharing their personal experience. |

I’ve been telling myself, "''Don’t think of the Brett!''" But as we all know, the harder you try ''not'' to think of something the more that thought persists. The visions grow more vivid and traumatizing the more I think of it. Some nights Brett violates me in unspeakable ways and I wake with bruises, scratches and bite marks over my body. |
