Be warned: You may be disturbed..)","content":"(A/N: I think it's time I told you guys a story. About 3\nyears ago something happened to me, and I remember it so vividly, that I wanted\nto recount it in a story. Be warned: This IS based off of something that\nACTUALLY happened to me. You may call me insane, or this may scare you, but\nhey, I'm telling my story. Whether or not you want to believe me is up to you)\n\nIt would seem that, if one is continually exposed to something, then logically,\nthey would grow used to such things and become desensitized, so as to avoid\nemotional and mental damage. But how long must a subject be exposed before they\nadjust?  Or what if they don't need too? What\nIf they have a natural ability to cope with things that would shake and disturb\nany other sapient creature?\nKiseki woke with a start, a sudden shock going through him as his mind was\ninstantly ripped back to reality, much like the shock when one wakes from a\nhorrific nightmare. The cougar snapped his eyes open to gaze at the only thing\nhis eyes could focus on, which was his ceiling.\n\"...hhhgnnn...\" He heard a noise escape from his throat, and then it hit him. This\nwas another case of sleep paralysis. He knew this because of the heavy weight\nfrom his own body, and the inability to move.\nThough his thought processes were still very distorted, Kiseki had learned to\ndeal with this, as it happened very often.I'm okay... I just need a sec- huh? The\ncougar thought as his mind started to awaken to normal speed, though he still\nfelt his body remain stone. With another forced attempt to sigh, something else\nbegan to happen, all within the span of what seemed to be a single moment.Oh my god... He thought. His eyes that\ncould only focus on the ceiling showed him something that he knew right then he\nwould never forget.\nIt was a light; suspended near the celling directly above him. Kiseki had no\nchoice but to watch it as he pushed against his immobile body. Something's wrong. He thought. This\nwasn't anything like normal sleep paralysis or the hallucinations that came\nwith it. His mind was completely awake now, not at all influenced by his own\ndreams.\nWhat happened next said more to him than he could ever convey into words. \nFrom the light, the outline of a figure appeared. A being whom Kiseki could see\nfrom the chest and shoulder and up. He couldn't see its face, but Kiseki knew\nthat he wasn't dreaming now. Whatever the hell was happening was real...\nThe figure moved its head to the side, watching the paralyzed cougar, whom\nbegan to feel something familiar. He felt someone touch his mind. A silent, yet\nlucid feeling that came with every telepathic instance Kiseki had ever had.\nNow, he realized, that this creature he was seeing was trying to talk to him,\nthe same way a spirit would. The physical sensation Kiseki got from the mental\ntouch rushed through him, and with it, an instant shift in his mood.(Do not be afraid....)\nThe cougars' heart leaped as a silent voice whispered into the depths of his\nmind. He was shocked to say the least, as if he had cold water dripped onto his\nhead. \n(Please relax young one..) The voice whispered. Kiseki's eyes remained focused\non the outline of this being. He did too. He felt his fear start to fall away\nas the cougar felt more and more into the creature's mind. It wasn't malicious\nor angry at all, Kiseki felt it.(We scared you. We're sorry. We aren't going\nto harm you.) The being told him in this silent language. Telepathy was\nnever spoken like words were. The cougar felt out the meanings of the thoughts.\nIt was true. Whatever these things were, had no intentions of scaring or\nharming him.\nHe felt himself breathing, and tried to send out a single thought in return.\nBut Kiseki didn't know what to say back, all he could \"say\" was show his own\nfeelings, which he knew from this mental link, that these creatures were well\naware of.I'm...I'm not afraid anymore now. He\ntold them. He was only scared until he'd felt this alien mind. It was strange,\nforeign, unlike any other mind Kiseki had felt before. It was vast, evolved,\nand looked as massive as the universe itself. And yet, it was still a person; a\nperson with feelings, memories, experiences, and every bit of personality that\nmakes a person, well, a person.\nHe managed to sigh again, feeling his body loosen up, and allow for the slightest\nof movement.Wait! Wait a second! What are you going\nto do with me? Will I remember this? The cougar asked quickly in his head.\nNow that he wasn't as shocked, he wanted to ask as much as possible while he\ncould.\nThe being in the doorway seemed to contemplate something, Kiseki being able to\nfeel that for a moment, it thought about the others on its side or the light.\nThere were many creatures..\n(We are only doing what is necessary... Do not be afraid.) It said.\nAnd then a moment passed before something else happened. Kiseki felt himself\nstart to be lifted up from his bead, inching closer and closer to the\nportal-like opening.I'm not afraid. I want to remember this, He\nremembered saying. But then everything began to go white...\n \nHe felt a soft thump as his body dropped onto the bed, the cougar's head\nfeeling as if it had been sucked through a wormhole. Something clicked in his\nhead, and with a gasp, Kiseki sat up in his bed, surprised he could move, and\nlooked at the clock. The strangest feeling hung over him.I.... I can't fucking believe this. He\nthought.\n\"Was I just abducted..?\" He said aloud into his now vacant room. He shook his head\nslowly. Whatever happened to him was to him, undeniably real. He sat on the\nedge of his bed, watching the clock. He knew he didn't fall asleep. He\nremembered everything so clearly. But then when everything went white, he felt\nhis perception of time -warp-.\nHe had a memory gap. He remembered the before, and where he was right now; the\nafter. But...\nKiseki took a deep breath, the green numbers on his clock as solid as the flow\nof time.\nSuddenly, he felt his mouth pull itself into a smile. He lay back down in his\nbed, arms behind his head as he chuckled to himself.Holy fucking shit. Nobody's gonna believe\nthis!!!"}
