To think a demon has attacked me in my sleep

[Sparklfairy]

I woke up with three parallel scratch marks on my collarbone. Don't be silly, I hear you say, you just scratched yourself in your sleep. Except I have a horrible habit of biting my nails down to the quick, they are useless stubs that can't even scratch an itch when I want them to.

I have not been near any branches or pets with claws. The only logical conclusion is of course, a demon.

Am I doomed? This is how all the horror movies start isn't it?

Demon... or a cat? Of course, some would say they’re practically the same thing.

That looks like a fork mark! Lol

They are definitely demon scratches. You have been marked OP, time to call the priest

I wake up covered in marks like this, my nails are as short as can be, I still scratch myself to bits. Dh has been woken by me doing this
If I take an allergy tablet before bed I can avoid it.

Yes, you're doomed, I'm afraid. Just be sure to wear a vest and pants this evening, so when the power cuts out, you can creep around with a flickering torch and look the part.
But you'll be dead by morning. Sorry

You best get cracking before bedtime tonight.

Don't be ridiculous, it's not a demon's claw marks.

It's his trident.

Make sure everyone who invites you over knows you now have a resident plus 1.

Could it be your toe nails?

@Technonan this is a very good point. Whatever it was it clearly has no respect for social distancing!

@MissClarke86 it could only be toenails if I was contorting in my sleep in such un-human like positions that a demon would again be responsible as I am clearly possessed!

It's just occurred to me that the world is supposed to be ending on Sunday. Maybe I have been marked as a chosen one for the New World Order.

Burn some sage before bed
Or maybe when the world ends on Sunday you’ll be one of the first to go, sorry

@Summercamping howling

Sorry op, but I've seen The Conjuring. You're pretty doomed. Best make sure you have The Vatican on speed dial.

Definitely marked by a demon as a chosen one. Do you have the numbers 666 anywhere on your body? Beginnings of horns sprouting?
Of course, he may have marked you as his next meal in which case neither of the above are relevant. The 3 lines are a demonic best before date, like a hellish barcode

The way you phrased this was so convincing I'm now a little worried

Best scratch DP in exactly the same way then he may be eaten instead of you?

@DysonFury I live alone and have no one else to sacrifice!

You’re my wife now...

The veins to the right of the scratch look like a love heart, could it be a love demon?!

Ha!!! Yes I have been watching Ghost Adventures and this is deffo demon activity.

I hadn't noticed that but now I can't unsee it I'm not sure whether to be optimistic or worried, it is very "you're my wife now" as a PP said!

For one whimsical moment I hoped this thread title was serious.
Bugger.

Perhaps sleep in the spare room or on the sofa tonight

(This will only work if the demon is of very low intelligence)

What are you talking about, of course it's serious
