I'm sitting in a hotel room, preparing for my talk. My dress is ready, the slide deck runs fine, it is just the words that need to exit my mouth correctly. You are lying on the bed, listening. Giving me the feedback I asked for.

Each time you give me hints on how to improve. It really helps me focus.

When I come to the core of the presentation, I can almost see the stage, the audience, the lights in front of me. Almost a deja-vue. 

Have I not already given this talk? I'm pausing to clear my mind But you tell me to continue, and I do. 

It feels good to continue. Words are flowing from my lips, as I sway a little. You give me more and more sugestions. I feel better and better.

I noticed I have not changed the slides in a while. But I keep talking, keep presenting for you. 

The room feels hot. My head feels slow. My underwear is bothering me, and I let it join my dress on the floor. 

I keep presenting. I can see you still look with interest. I keep going.
