Mind Over Magic

Explanations

I'm standing at the front of a enormous chamber filled with billions of sleeping people all tied up.

All I can do is stare.

I whip around to look at Nora and Drea.

"What is this place?! And who are you people?!" I demand.

Drea steps up

" Well first of all we're not people. Secondly this is the human chamber."

"Well what are you and what the hell is a human chamber?!" I yell.

" I'm a Spellbound, Nora's a Creator. I know you're going to ask what those are so I'll save you the trouble and just say it. A Spellbound is a creature who can use magic. We have power in our bones. We can tell the future, make magical spells, but since our power is embedded within ourselves we must be careful. Nora's a creator. Her job in the realm is devoted to creating the human world. She has the giant book on everybody. You see all of those people on the floor? Tied up with a shackle with a 20 numbered password?

I nod.

"Well those people are living in the human world right now. Going on with their days. They think they are going to work or school or something. When that is actually a programmed dream and they are right here in a coma. The only way to release them from this is to enter their combination and release them from the shackle. Then they will wake up here, like you."

"Except we moved you to a separate room." piped up Nora, "you would see bodies and probably freak out." We designed humans to be squeamish of the dead."

I am confused and dizzy. I have no idea what is happening to me. "So you're telling me my entire life was a figment of my imagination?!" I scream, "my entire life I was chained up on this floor until I was released just moments ago?!" This is absolutely mindblowingly insane! I cant believe it! I WON'T!
