Story starts.

It is a stormy Thursday night. Charles Graves, a late-20-Year-Old high school teacher and his wife Morghan are settling in for bed. For the past few years things have died down, the excitement has almost come to a halt, this includes sex. *Rumble,boom* Lately, Morghan, has been having the weather radio on during the night.

"The National Weather Service has placed Oakrack county under a flooding watch till Sunday night at 8pm."

Charles yawns and finally lays down his head on his pillow, drifting int sleep. About 2 hours into sleep he dreams his most vivid dream, this dream will change the course of his existence in ways unknown.

Charles sees himself, naked standing in a black room, it's pretty damn black. "Hello, Charles." A glowing orb is speaking to him, pulses as it speaks. "Uh, hi." ""You are wondering many things. Who am I? What am I? Why am I talknig to you?" "Kinda, but no. I know who I am and what I am." "SMART ASS!" "Yeah..." "Let me introduce myself." "Go right ahead." "WILL YOU LET ME SPEAK?!" "I'm giving you the opportunity to, why are you stalling?" "Fuck it." "Wow! You curse like we do." "DAMNIT!!! OK! SHUT YOUR TRAP AND JUST LISTEN!!" Charles nods at whatever is in front of him and gives a thumbs up. "What does this mean?" Charles then frowns and waves his hand forward. "Oh, you want me to continue!" Charles nods.

"I am Serpentile, I am what you would call a.... Yes?" "But you don't look like a snake." "Yeah, I know. Anyways, I am dying." Charles raises his hand "Yes?" "You don't sound like you are dying." "Just.... Fine... What does a dying... Person sound like?" "Are you dying of old age?" "I am at the end of my life cycle." "Ok, sound like you are are having a hard time breathing." "You know what, no...."

"I am a being from a parallel dimension. I am near the end of my life. As a last act, brings from my dimension bestow the last bit of their energy to their loved ones and those they are leaving behind." "I'm sorry to hear that you are dying, but why are you coming to me in my dream to tell me this?" "Serpentile pauses a bit. "I do not have anybody to perform the ritual with." "That sucks" " I have been observing your realm for the last few weeks. I have come to the conclusion that you are the most deserving." "Of. Your. Energy." "Yes. Now unfortunately since our bodies are not.of the same, I am not entirely sure what will happen." "Well, it seems this is important to you so... Sure why not. What do I need to do?"

The energy transference is better facilitated if your body is kept moist and relaxed." "I think I can do that, so how long would this..." The dream breaks.

"Great, end our conversation with a preposition... Not human my ass." Charles heads to the bathroom and shuts the door. "Ok, so I start a bath." Charles relieves his bladder before getting in. "Ok, so I am in the tub, this feels nice now what?" The water I. The tub starts to glow a multitude of colors. "Wow, this is sooo soothing..." Charles falls asleep.
