In diary format, Guy de Maupassant relates the tale of an upper class, single man tortured by an unseen, vampire-like being that watches him when he sleeps and drinks the water from his bedside.
At first, the man questions his sanity; later he debates whether to commit suicide to escape this entity. Interestingly, de Maupassant was suffering from syphillis when he wrote this story, with the disease possibly affecting his mental capabilities.
Several sites offer it online.
