THE LITTLE PEOPLE

Lay flat on your back and look up the ceiling. Hands by your side. Focus on one point and just pretend that your clockwork self is taking a break. Don`t move. Don`t even twitch. Pretend that the little people who`ve been working inside your body all these while are taking one long vacation. They are slowly leaving your body one by one.They are making their way out of your body through the ends of your fingers. Don`t look. Stay focus on the ceiling. That`s it. Don`t be afraid now and don`t panic. Slowly you start to feel numb all over your legs and arms. There`s no one left to move the muscles in your body. All the little people there are gone. You feel nothing there. Now only the ones working in your head are left. They too are packing up their bags.Your eyes become heavier and heavier as one by one they walk out through the ends of your hair. Soon your eyelids start to shut. Darkness falls except for the light of your mind.You don`t feel your body anymore but do not be afraid. All the little people are gone by now. Only the few last ones. They are the ones who`ve been lighting up your mind. Tell them to go as well. If they bribe you with sweet memories and bedtime stories just kick them out the window. Usually they are the stubborn ones or the workaholics and would do anything to stay. Tell them to go. It`s vacation time. See nothing. Say nothing. Hear nothing. Feel nothing. Fly!
