Cosmic Bleed

While watching X-Files, I feel a familiar floating that lifts me out of consciousness and sinks my eyelids into sand. I feel like I'm flying through the cosmos with the X-Files theme song in the background. In my flight, I discover that my power steering doesn't work, and just before I crash, I land on the floor,tangled in yellow sheets to see distorted screams captured in stills on screen. The monsters in the closet breathe out a hiss for me to be quiet, so I crawl back in bed and wait for that floaty sinking sensation to resume.
