Where am I?

"Everything is okay."

Bright light. White hallway. Seemingly stretching forever.

"We're almost there"

I can see someone thing
                  only as tall as my knee and just past the corner of my eye. I can't turn to look at him, is that right?

Leading me. I'm relaxed. A little confused.

How did I get here?

"You wanted to come. So we brought you."

Shit. Reading my mind again.

Now I'm in a room. How? Everything is so bright here.

A table. Like a gurney.

I think I'd like to lay down now.

"Please do. It's very comfortable."

Why can't I look at you?

"It's okay. She's very nice"

Who..? "LIE DOWN"

I'm gonna lay down. So relaxing. So disoriented.

"This won't hurt"

That didn't come from the corner of my eye. What is that?

"Shhhhhh."

Beautiful. Like Tilda Swinton. No, that's not right. She has no face. No features. Like all of her skin is made of white cotton like an old t-shirt. Dark rings where here eyes and mouth should be. Her hair is thick strands of wavey dread locks. White.

"I love you."

Reaching for me. When did I lay down? I can't move. This isn't real. It's not happening. I have to wake up.
