The five stages of slavery – The dream
Ladies and gentlemen, masters and slaves
A good evening to you all
I am the Maïtre of this show, the greatest show on Earth
A show that will make your heart jump in your chest, your knees tremble with fear and the sweat run through your body like a river
The main actor in this show is a beast, caught from the deepest hole… so deep it seems to touch hell
A beast wild and untamed
It may seem like a normal human, but do not be mistaken by its appearance
Inside that body lies something dangerous, waiting to come out to devour you all
Even without pointy teeth, its bite would bruise your flesh and consume your heart
It is a scary show, but do not be afraid
A cage protects the audience from the beast… or perhaps the beast from the audience
And how did this beast come to be, you may ask…
Then come around and listen to the story
From the mind of a man came a dream
A bitter and sweet dream that resembles a nightmare
In this dream he is lost in the darkness
That darkness has a life and a form, that surrounds and envelops his body like a blanket
Suffocating
Taking the breath away
He fights it, but the more he fights the more it binds
He fights and fights until he cannot fight anymore
And he lets go
The darkness ends
The body becomes free
The dream ends
Lights return as the dark embrace vanishes
It’s taste remains in his mouth
He does not know whether he likes it or not. But he knows he wants to try it again
And the story unfolds
Where it stops you will discover… soon enough
