Hypnosis

The dark room was illuminated by the flame from the lighter. The smoke came out of his mouth after the metallic click of the lighter left the room in darkness again.
A man lay on a couch in the middle of the room. He approached and lit two candles on the table beside the couch.
He walked to a bookshelf close by and grabbed a book without markings or words on it.
The man under hypnosis was in a state of sleep but completely conscious. He grabbed a bottle of ink and instructed the man to sit up straight and grab the pen.
The man dipped the pen in the ink and wrote his signature on the cover of the book.
He grabbed the book that was still closed and instructed the man to lie again. Sitting on the chair beside the man he read: " darkest secrets by…" the illegible signature of the man sat as a placeholder for the name.
With each turning of the pages, the book changed colors " the secrets that pop into the head when this book is being read. The one's one try to hide but come up involuntarily, like trying not to think of an elephant but it's all one things about"
He saw them all as they popped up in the book the darkest deepest secrets.
When he got to the last page always left blank to leave room for the ones not kept yet. He got up from the chair and shook the book, the ink fell off it, and as it did it disappeared before it touched the ground.
Putting the cigarette back in his mouth he slowly put the book back and blew the candles leaving the room as he flicked the cigarette inside it starting a fire
