The Sketrix

"Let me tell you why you are here. You have come because you know something. What you know you can't explain but you feel it. You've felt it your whole life, felt that something is wrong with the world. You don't know what, but it's there like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that brought you to me."

"Do you know what I'm talking about?"

Sofi

"The Sketrix?"

Man of Wise

"Do you want to know what it is?"

Sofi swallows hard and nods.

Man of Wise

"The Sketrix is everywhere, it's all

around us, here even in this room.

You can see it out your window or

on your television. You feel it

when you go to work, or go to

church or pay your taxes. It is

the world that has been pulled

over your eyes to blind you from

the truth."

Sofi

What truth?

Man of Wise

"That you are a slave, Sofi. Like

everyone else, you were born into

bondage, kept inside a prison that

you cannot smell, taste, or touch.

A prison for your mind."

The LEATHER CREAKS as he leans back.

Man of Wise

"Unfortunately, no one can be told

what the Sketrix is. You have to

see it for yourself.

The Man of Wise points to two tables, which

seem to appear suddenly out of no where. 

On the right is a Pillow.

On the left, a pencil."

Man of Wise

"This is your last chance. After

this, there is no going back. You

take the pillow and the story

ends. You wake in your bed and

you believe whatever you want to

believe."

"You take the pencil and you stay

in Wonderland and I show you how

deep the rabbit-hole goes."

Sofi looks at both items, both are enticing, the moisture

growing in her palms.

Man of Wise

"Remember that all I am offering is

the truth. Nothing more."
