[ WP ] People are being painfully and realistically murdered by strange monsters in their dreams , and then never waking up . The upper class purchases and consumes energy pills that allow them to go without sleep , while the lower classes are left to defend their dreams from the monsters every night .

I do n't know why I agreed to this challenge. I have more than enough money to never sleep again, but I let them convince me to go through with this. Rather, I let 2 billion dollars convince me 
 
 Last week, my friend called and told me that he knew some guys who would pay 2 billion dollars to anyone who could survive 2 weeks without the pills. `` Just sleep every night for 2 weeks. If you wake up the morning of the 15th day, you get 2 billion dollars'' he said, and fool that I am I said yes. 
 
 It's been 10 days. At first there was nothing. It was like the first two nights the monsters were n't even there. The third night I started noticing something strange at the edge of my vision. By the 6th night I was being followed by a shadowy figure. Every night since it has gotten clearer and clearer. Last night I could see bloodshot eyes, a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, bloody claws, and matted fur. As the creature gets clearer it also gets closer. With all that detail last night, I also realized that it is only a few feet away. 
 
 Tonight, I'm planning on going in prepared. I've been studying lucid dreaming and have had minor successes in the last week, an unlocked door, a flashlight, changing the color of my clothes, things like that. I wanted to wait to try and create a weapon until I had done some bigger things, but I think tonight is the night it gets me. I HAVE to fight it tonight. 
 
 My eyes are getting heavy now. It's about time to try and survive. If I do n't wake up in the morning I guess we know how well lucid dreaming worked for me.
