"Open Your Eyes" By Raven Adams | ATRD Creepypasta/Horror Fiction Oct 04, 2025

Show notes

Today we have a short Creepypasta/Horror Fiction story written by yours truly. I mentioned doing these OCCASIONALLY on my recent update, and this is a good one to start with. I wrote this back in September of 2022, and it was inspired by night time panic attacks/anxiety- those nights where you lie awake with your eyes closed and your brain moving a million miles a minute...

No Midroll Ads in this one, figured it was too short.
