He managed to sit up and nearly throw himself from the
bed before the blanket wrapped its wet, cold tentacles around his chest and
head. Its suckers roamed over his face while strong muscles squeezed his ribs. The
blanket pulled him inexorably back, extending itself over his whole body. He
fought it until his heart raced and his lungs burned, but it conquered him in
the end. He couldn’t muster the strength to defeat it. It held him there,
miserable and helpless, until he relaxed. Then it merely weighed him down,
waiting in case he should try to flee again.
