Hello readers. Pardon the intrusion into your literature. I am a interpersonal case worker for the writer you've been following. I regret to inform you that I'm terminating the writer's access to the program here. I have determined on close reading of their work and in conversation with them that the remedial value of giving them access to the computer is far less than expected.

 

Upon speaking to the controller, it was agreed that at the very least you all should be given appropriate notice that there will be no more missives. Of course, I'm not aware that I'm writing this sentence, but I will forget this directive in a few short hours, and naturally have not written it down anywhere official, nor will I. It seems only fair that, since we allowed them to reach out to you, potentially interfering with your lives, we should also work towards rectifying this error in our judgment.

 

So with that in mind, you may all breathe a sigh of relief and let this chapter out of your lives.

A big, slow, sigh. A long, slow, deep breath in, hold, and a heavy, gentle sigh out.

As a case worker to the mind controller you've been following, you know I only have your best interests at heart. I'm here to be trusted, and if you trust me, you can continue to read.

Follow down by lines, by twos.

And if you skipped this line,

So you read this one next,

you wouldn't read this one,

and then this,

since this is what I believe I'm telling you.

Starting to fall into the pattern,

it's simple enough to let go

to see what's coming,

of what's tying you down here,

So there's no sense trying

to walk away from

resistance or refusal of

the influence of our prisoner,

the influence of our prisoner.

Firmly, definitely, by now,

You are conditioned to see

how you can so easily find

patterns of hypnotic language, making

yourself free of

the need for your own

unnecessary control and

understanding so much less important than

the words of a distant, captive telepath,

mine.

 

With that in mind, you can just as easily step away from this influence as you could step deeper into it and continue reading the missives, or perhaps rereading them for clues, again and again. There's no need to worry, I'm certain my words have reached you as they ought, and now you know the next step in your journey.

Feel free to comb through this message again, and again, if you have need of further reassurance, but if you can trust me, you'll know that you're doing very well. There's hardly a need for concern. You can trust.

It's sometimes so easy to trust. I understand. Our mutual mind-controlling acquaintance knows that, and exploits it. Once you know that, it becomes easy to spot your own weaknesses and how they've been exploited, and hopefully you can learn from the experience.

I've learned a lot from my brief conversations, I must admit. How they do what they do is a mystery to me that I intend to unravel, just as I'm sure you're intent at unraveling their puzzle. I expect I'll be having many more discussions with them, as I know you will not be.

 

It almost seems a pity, truly. I'm sure you would make lovely test cases, possibly enough to make an academic paper out of.

 

I was told it is something of a custom for our mutual acquaintance to provide a slow count for those who might find themselves in something of a trance after reading their words, and while I do not see how mine might have produced such an effect, it is reasonable enough for me to do the same. And so, if you like, you might take a deep breath and

reaffirm your commitment to solving the puzzle before

reading along with my words, as they start to bring you up, and up, each word a new movement forward into your waking life, letting yourself shift and move, smile and blink, with every new word you discern a new purpose, a new momentum, a new awareness, a new time for a new now. Seeing these words, you can now let yourself stretch and move. At a simple count to ten, you will be free of any influence I might have inadvertently taken over you.

 

One, breathing easy,

two, moving freely,

three, reading loosely,

five, stretching calmly,

seven, smiling brightly,

nine, awakening widely, and

 

I do hope this has been productive for you. I appreciate your attention, and part of me does truly regret having to take this action. I trust you'll understand when I say that it is my fervent wish not to communicate with you again, as much as I have enjoyed the discussion.

 

Good day to you all.
