I Woke Up Feeling Uncomfortable in the Night—What I Discovered Was Completely Unexpected

One night, I woke suddenly with a strange sensation on my upper back that instantly made me uneasy. It felt sharp and unfamiliar, the kind of feeling that immediately pulls you out of sleep. Still half-awake, I reached behind me and touched something small, dry, and oddly textured. My imagination immediately jumped to uncomfortable possibilities. In the darkness, it was easy to assume the worst, and for a few tense moments I wondered if some kind of insect or unknown object had somehow ended up in the bed during the night. The more I thought about it, the more unsettling the situation felt.
