Scene changes to Dean's bedroom, fade in, Dean enters looking scared, a voice over of Dean plays

Dean: Okay, I've taken the medicine, it will help me... it will...

He slowly enters his bed and calmly as possible falls asleep, blackout

The Shadow: (Distorted) You really think that a drug that does not help you in the least keep me away from you?

Sudden fade in, Dean jumps out of bed and sees a black figure, The Shadow, watching him

Dean: Why don't you just leave me alone?

The Shadow: Oh, but then we can't have these little chats before you daze off to another world

Dean: You're not real

The Shadow: I am as real as you perceive me to be

Dean: You can't hurt me...

The Shadow: I can't but you can. We should have these chats more often, have more of these frequent delusions so I can come and say hello

Dean: I don't control them

The Shadow: Oh yes that's right, I get to control them. Your losing your mind Dean, that's not good for you

Dean: I know...

The Shadow: Then why not control your mind?

Dean: It's hard

The Shadow: But the other world isn't hard... you can come and go as you please from there, can't you?

Dean: It's my haven...

The Shadow: For now... how much longer till you drive yourself to insanity?

Dean: I'm not insane!

The Shadow: But that's what everyone else says you are

Dean becomes angry

The Shadow: Ah, that's your trigger, isn't it? Insanity...

Dean: Stop saying that!

The Shadow: You're becoming insane Dean

Dean: No I'm not! I am not insane!

The Shadow laughs

The Shadow: Be careful what you wish for...

Dean: Stop! Stop! Stop! STOP!
