Compiling Events Caused by the Nightly Visitors

Short Story

First Night

I have been afflicted by a peculiar condition for the past several weeks; sporadic events I wish to record in order to further understand, and perhaps even calm my hectic thoughts; I have thenceforth chosen to write down these alarming events here whenever they occur. 

Many nights as I begin to fall asleep, an intense itch arises behind my thighs, causing a strong need for momentary relief that can only be obtained by scratching until everything becomes severely irritated, sometimes leading to bloody wounds. This uncontrolled, almost primal, habit has caused the formation of bumps and scabs on the affected areas. I am currently in bed, surrounded by freshly washed sheets, and will report back if any strange itching occurs. Goodnight.

…

Due to the unbearable sensation that came to visit as I was falling asleep last night, I feel quite sleep-deprived and irritable. To make the sensation subside, I went to the bathroom, vigorously washed the affected area, which quickly became pink and bruised, went back to bed and eventually fell asleep. For reasons unknown to me, the mere thought of the itch feels deeply disturbing and brings forth immense self-disgust. I think it would be best to resolve this issue as quickly as I can for the simple reason that, quite frankly, the itch unnerves me.
