''Red String Keeps Appearing around my Fingers'' | BEST OF NOSLEEP 2018
Channel: Dr. Creepen
Date: 2018-05-18

''I didn’t even want to write this tonight, but I’m afraid of the nonstop dreams that await behind my eyelids. What is safe if not sleep? And if you’re robbed of that, where else is there to turn? Can’t I get a second, just a f**king second, away from this?''

If you're familiar with the work of Elias Witherow, you'll know that his stories are highly allegorical: the true meaning may not be as simple as it may at first seem. I've got a feeling that a lot of you will be able to relate to the underlying theme in tonight's tale, so be sure to let me know in the comments section below the vid.
