"I can free you"  Calmly he touches my face and places a finger on my forehead

"What're you doing?" I ask.  He looks into my soul and utters "Just be still and forget what you've done before right now" 

Then I wake up, frightened, sweaty, and confused.  I begin to think about how real that just felt.  Nervous to fall back asleep I turn on the TV.
