Possession (Interlude)

"I know it's simply crazy Dr Huxman
But I can't get these thoughts out of my head
These people, they want something from me"

"It is called paranoia, Cynthia
I would like to try a somewhat unconventional procedure with you, if that is acceptable
I believe it will alleviate these visions you are experiencing"

"Well, if you say so, Doctor"

"Please, have a seat
I am going to hold up my watch, and I want you to look at it
I want you to keep your eyes on it, follow it as it swings
Do not look away
Excellent, your eyes are getting tired
As you become aware of how heavy your eyelids are, feel your entire body relax
Deeper, now
Take a deep breath and just let it go, and as you exhale, let your shoulders shrug
Feel your body go limp
Imagine you're an old coat, thrown over the back of a chair
You are completely relaxed now
In front of your face, picture a dark red cloud
Observe it, floating inches before your lips
Feel the heat radiating from it, almost too much to bear
And as you take another breath, suck the cloud deep in your lungs
Feel it fill your body, feel its heat spread through your limbs
And with each breath feel the churning cloud of hate and darkness
As it seeps into every cell of every organ
Prime them, preparing them to accept into your soul the allure of the dark master"
