Day 18

Seeing the video camera blinking in the corner left me deeply confused. Had I hit my head without realizing it? Nothing was making sense.

“You’re watching me, but the fire, the man…he burned before my eyes,” I said. “That wasn’t real?”

There was a dry chuckle that reverberated through the room at my apparently silly observation.

“Of course it wasn’t real!” It sneered. “No human can cause a fire to do what that one did, but a gullible human mind—that’s another thing entirely. It’s some of my finest work, to be sure!”

I shook my head—hating to be fooled like that.

“But why me?” I asked.

“Well, why not? You came didn’t you?”

I hung my head.

“Yes.”
