I woke up with a start.
To the rapid beating of my heart.
I was in a basement cell.
My head really hurt like hell.
I was tied in a chair in the middle of the room.
I couldn’t see a lot in all the gloom.
Soon people came to the single cell door.
The light came on making my head hurt more.
The general said ”So, you finally woke up.”
Sorry about the hit on the head with the rifle butt.
You were using your telepathic skills.
To stop you the ‘butt’ made you still.
You have been defying me.
I could use your skills, you see.
Sara here, has a special gift.
She can erase all memories. she does it quick.
Then I will work my gift on you.
Mind control so you will do what I want you to.
My head hurt so bad I could barely think.
But, I got his drift in a wink.
I tried to fight my restraints.
It was no use. He said that is what he thinks.
First the general wiped all pain from my mind.
That was a real relief, just in time.
He said Sara can’t work with interfering pain.
“I don’t want any excuses that are lame.”
Sara approached with a snarl on her face.
She knew exactly what would take place.
“You will find this isn’t a game.”
“You won’t even remember your name.”
She placed her fingers on my temples.
I screamed like crazy before everything goes.
I woke up on the floor by my bed.
I think when I fell I hit my head.
I was shaking like a leaf.
I could barely get to my feet.
I had to get up so I could pee.
No one was around as far as I could see.
I went to the living room to sit for a bit.
I was still shaking thinking of it.
It was brought on by this Si Fi book.
The one I was currently reading, as I shook.
After awhile, I stopped shaking & was still.
Now, where’s that book. I have some time to kill.
