The Demons Stopped by

They came to visit. Yes they did, the old demons came back to pay me a visit Friday night. I am not sure why, or what motivated them to do it but they came to my front door without an invite or even a courtesy call the night before.
I never really know when they will show up as there is no rhyme or reason as to when they do, but when they do I am always surprised. So on Friday night, after only 3 hours into a 6 hour night of sleep, they snuck up to my dream's front door, made a 4-man stack, kicked it in and threw in a stun grenade to get my attention.
Like I said I was really tired and I think I was in REM sleep at the time, but that didn't matter because the demons from time-past took me from a completely relaxed deep sleep to a wide awake, adrenalin induced startle. It was literally in a matter of seconds that I was jolted awake, breathing heavy, and heart trying to thump out of my chest.
I laid the there wondering "why, what, and WHY?". What did I do to cause this to happen? Why was I laying there with my senses tingling, feeling that old friend I have not felt for a while, Mr. Adrenalin. That familiar friend of times past, that natural high, something that I miss and don't miss all at the same time. It is an awesome feeling and it is truly missed, just not the reasons why I would get that feeling. It was also not an awesome feeling at 3AM.
So I laid there with my mind wide awake, with a lot of questions about what I just saw and experienced. But as the minutes drifted on the adrenalin was slowly soaked back into my body and the sleepiness took back over as I settled back into rest and eventually sleep. From that point forward, it was a very restful (yet short) remaining night of sleep.
