Short story with that premise:

"The Yattering and Jack" by Clive Barker

Isn't it a law that links to TV Tropes have to come with a warning about time lost on the site?

I read the summary in the link provided and then left the site without problems. The whole ordeal took less than a minute.

In short: There's hope, buddy. You can do it. Take one step at a time, and you will find your way. I wish you all the best!
