He's the King of Nightmares and he'll take out your tongue so you can't scream...
And he'll wear it like a trophy around his waist.

Having insomnia, horrific nightmares, night terrors, and sleep paralysis is all worth it when you can make art based off of it.... right?
The main thing that sticks with me with my sleep paralysis demon is the way he loomed over me with big, wide, piercing eyes. Also the way he screamed at me, he screamed all my insecurities at me, while I couldn't move, nor speak.
The King of Nightmares is a character in my horror concept Tongueless- the story and the characters within are based off of/inspired by my own traumas and continuing troubles with sleep, therefore helping me express them in a healthy way and process them through art.
