Henry only met Sophia the night before, and already she has asked him to house sit for her while she goes away on a business trip, promising him a nice reward when she returns. Henry's remit is simple, feed Fuseli her cat and sleep there overnight so Fuseli knows he has not been abandoned. But this seemingly simple task turns to fear when his sleep is disturbed by loud incessant night time noises. Henry's fear turns to terror when he gets seized by sleep paralysis, preventing him from moving, just as he feels something unseen climbing over him.
