this was the story board that I made for my short <https://ixonia.online/2020/07/07/nightmare/>. initially I had pitched the idea, and my classmates liked what they heard and chose me to lead them in the creation of the short! The idea was that my character Memphis (who deals with paranormal issues between the physical realm and the realm of fantasy) gets a call that an old lady has been having nightmares and trouble breathing at night, so he makes his way over to the old ladies house. It turns out that the trouble was being caused by an imp, who was sitting on her chest at night. The same imp had imprisoned Sleipnir, the steed of the Norse god Odin. Memphis frees the celestial spirit and frightens away the imp. I was inspired to write this scenario based on this real world mythological demon: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/original-nightmare-demon-suffocation-night-terror 2/7/2020
