Lone soul, come to us... Become one with us... Why just be one, when you can be many.. Take our hand child...
Michael
I look at my hands I don’t have hands. I look down and see I’m floating.
the figure slowly floats closer
Do not fear child... We mean you no harm. We simply wish to make you an offer..
Michael
I stand up where am I? who’s there?
You are where you are meant to be. We are the ones who have been waiting for you.
The figure steps closer. It's hard to tell what they look like in the darkness but you get the sense that there is a sort of... mass behind them.
Michael
I take a step back my heart racing
We don't bite... Unless you want us to.
The figure steps forward out of the darkness.
Michael
I uh… I hesitate What is this place?
You could call it a threshold. A crossing point for many. It seems fate has led you here. Now take my hand child.. become one with us...
Michael
I take his hand
A warm sensation flows through you, it feels like its pulling you in
You have made the right choice my child...
Suddenly you feel a pull towards the figure, and you find yourself face to face with him.
Now we are connected, now we are one....
Michael
I look around trying to understand where I am
the voice seems to get closer
There is no need to look around, the darkness will consume all who do. We will guide you. Take our hand and become one with us.
Michael
I run from him
the figure laughs as you try to run away. the further you go, the more exhausted you feel, as if you were running through deep mud.
Where are you going little one? Come back... I will make sure you are never alone again.
Michael
you reach out
You feel a coldness as I take your hand. you feel a rush of energy and a slight burning sensation in your body. But before you could pull away I speak.
Don't be afraid child... We're not going to harm you.
Michael
I take its hand
The moment your hand touches it's you feel a rush of warmth, and comfort
Ah.. A soul who has found us. Do you wish to remain alone, or become one of us?
it's voice has a soothing quality, yet you get the feeling it could change to something far more menacing if it wanted to
Michael
he looks at his hands I don’t remember how I got here
The figure floats closer, it's body shifting and changing before your eyes
We brought you here, we took pity on you. Your world is dull and boring, so why not spice things up?
Michael
he backs up and falls into a deep chasm
the figure tilts their head
Fascinating... You are a feisty one...
The figure then steps forward, their form becoming more defined as they get closer.
Come now child, we only want to talk...
Michael
I sit there not responding to him
the figure slowly floats closer to you.
Do not fear us. We mean you no harm. All we wish to do is offer you a place amongst us. Be like us. Be more than one.
Michael
he reaches out Who are you? Where am I? What is this place?
It doesn't answer your question, instead it grabs your hand and pulls you closer.
Why ask such silly questions? You are here, in this place. I am your friend, your guide...
It pulls you even closer to itself now.
Michael
you look down at him uh. I’m not dead am i?
No, little one. You are not dead. Not yet.
Nhil floats closer to you. It's form shifting between many figures and one
We have been watching you. We have been waiting for you...
Michael
I reach out for the hand
Good, good... come closer...
The figure starts to get slightly more defined, as if its coming into focus. Its no longer just a vague shape. It now has eyes, a mouth and skin.
