In 2026, I still canāt accept that, despite the numerous pieces of evidence, the judgeās ruling in 2005, and the testimonies of credible people, there are still individuals who give weight to those accusations.
Iāve read comments from people who believe Robson and Safechuck even though almost all of their claims have been discredited by REAL evidence and facts.
This isnāt about being a fan of Michael or not ā itās about having a functioning brain and the decency to educate yourself when all the information is literally just one click away.
With Michael, weāre used to hearing rhythmic, epic songsāsongs about love, saving the world, peace...
But what if I told you there's also a dark side to Michaelās music?
In particular, I want to talk about a song from the Blood on the Dance Floor album, released in 1997. A song that isnāt about love.
It isnāt about peace. Itās about addiction. About fear.
About a body that can no longer bear the weight of the myth, and a society that was slowly killing him.
āDemerol... Demerol...ā
You hear him scream it, over and over. Demerol is the brand name of a powerful opioidā The same one he was using. One of the drugs he became addicted to back in 1993, after the Chandler scandal.
But Morphine isnāt just a confession. Itās a scream. An attack on the medical system. On sensationalism. On the people who only wanted him to āperformā and never be vulnerable.
In the middle of the trackāhysterical screams. Disturbing sounds.
It feels like a hallucinatory trip into the pain of a superstar everyone admired... but very few truly understood.
A Michael weāve never seen beforeā Angry. Addicted. Fragile. Human.
āTrust in me... just in me...ā he whispers, pleading.
And you donāt know if heās talking to himself or to the drug.
Morphine is the darkest song he ever wrote. And also one of the most honest.

A blinding flash overwhelmed me, and for a moment, I couldnāt feel my body. My hands touched something softāit felt like grass. After a few seconds, I tried to open my eyes. The sunlight pressed against my eyelids, and I blinked repeatedly to adjust and see where I had landed. I hoped with all my being that I had done everything right. I had been thinking about the correct time period, but then... I was distracted. I only remembered... Michael.
I looked around. I seemed to be in a park. There was a lake nearby, and I noticed bronze statues. They depicted... children? Realization struck. I knew those statues. Just as I realized where I was, a voice startled me.
"HEY YOU!"
A Black man in a suit, wearing sunglasses, was approaching me. Instinct told me to run. I started to sprint, chased by the man. I didnāt really know where I was goingāmaybe my subconscious knew who or what I was supposed to find. I turned my head. The man in the suit was too fast and almost caught meāwhen my body collided with someone else.
"Hey, who are you?"
I looked into his eyes. Two dark wells, locked on mine, studying me. I couldnāt respondātoo hypnotized by that gaze, or maybe still shaken from the "landing."
"I..."
Michael.
Two strong arms grabbed me. I nearly fell, but the man caught me and restrained me. He probably thought I was going to attack Michael.
"Unlawful entry, miss. Iāll escort you out. My apologies, Mr. Jackson."
"NO! Wait... I... Michael..."
I couldnāt speak. I felt faint. Thatās why I was here.
"What happened, Jim? How did she get in? You were on guard, right?"
"Sir, I... she appeared out of nowhere. I was patrolling the north side of the property when I saw her. Iām sorry, sir."
"She had to come in from somewhere. Iāll speak with Bill. Escort her outāgently, please."
"Yes, sir."
I said nothing while they spoke. I was still staring at Michael. I needed to talk to him. But I was too weakāI needed a moment. The jump, the run... and now, seeing him.
I tried to speak just as I was being pulled away and saw Michael fading from view.
"NO! I... MICHAEL, PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!"
I struggled against the guard.
"Come on, donāt fight it."
"MICHAEL! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU! Let goāyouāre hurting meāwait!"
The more I shouted, the tighter he held me, the more my strength faded. Michael kept walking away, and I knew this might be my only chanceāeverything I had done to get here would be for nothing otherwise. I summoned every last bit of strength I had and broke free from Jimās grip, running toward Michael as fast as I could.
"MICHAEL, WAIT!"
I reached him. He looked frightened, raising his hands as if I might attack himābut I didnāt. I stopped in front of him, breathless, pressing a hand to my chest to calm my racing heart.
"No, wait. Please. Itās important... Iām here to help you."
"I really canātāJIM!" His worried gaze searched for the bodyguard.
Jim caught up and tried to lift me off the ground, but I resisted, grabbed Michaelās hands, and stepped back. He looked truly scared now. I looked into his eyes and tried to find the words to show I wasnāt crazyāI was here for him.
"Iām here to help you. Please, listen to me..."
"Iām sorry, I..."
He was trying to back away. I saw the worry on his face, but something shifted. Alongside his fear, I saw curiosity. He stopped resisting my grip.
"Jim. Wait, let her speak."
I couldnāt believe it. I stared, stunned, not realizing that the large bodyguard had released me. I stood still for a few seconds, looking into Michaelās eyesāour hands still joined.
"Go ahead, Iām listening."
His voice pulled me back to reality. I blinked, trying to organize the chaos of thoughts swirling in my head. I needed to find a simple way to explain how I got thereāand why. The "why" was more complicated, and... harder to accept. But I couldnāt reveal everything at once, right?
Think, Aurora, think.
"Sorry, uh... I just need a moment to recover from... all of this."
I sighed, trying to calm my pounding heart. Still rattled from the chase.
"So, um... my name is Aurora. Iām Italian. And I got here... thanks to a time machine."
Did I say it? I did. I never thought Iād utter a sentence like that in my life, and yet...
"Alright, Sir. I think thatās enough. May I remove her?"
"Jim, please. Iām telling the truth."
I cut in before Michael could speak. I was regaining strength, and I wasnāt going to leave without at least trying.
"Michael, listen carefully. You might not believe meāI could hardly believe it myselfābut here I am. Iām from 2022. And Iām here... to save your life."
"Okay, miss. Now youāve gone too far. Come with me, please..."
Neither of us paid Jim any attention. Michael and I looked into each otherās eyes. I tried to speak through my gaze, to transmit everything I needed to say. He, on the other hand, looked overwhelmed with emotion, yet said nothing.
"Sir..."
Michael snapped out of it and turned to Jim, speechless.
"Um..."
He was clearly confused and uncertain. Then he looked back at me.
"You can go, Jim. Iāll handle the young lady."
What?
"Are you sure, Sir?"
"Yes, Jim. Go. If anything happens, Iāll call you. Alright?"
"Alright, Sir."
Jim gave me one last look, then turned and walked back to his post. I watched him leave, then turned my attention back to Michael.
"Um... thank you. I mean, sorryāI didnāt mean to be so aggressive. But IĀ amĀ telling the truth."
I tried to sound calm and apologetic. The last thing I wanted was to make things worse in his eyes. I wouldnāt exactly welcome strangers breaking into my home either.
"Donāt worry. Now, take a deep breath and tell me everything. Come... Iāll make you a cup of tea."
I was speechlessāand weirdly guilty, though I didnāt know why. His calm demeanor, his kindness surprised me. He showed no sign of wanting to throw me out. Was just telling him I was here to save his life really enough?
What are you thinking, Michael?
I followed the homeowner to the entrance door, fully aware that I was about to face a long conversation. I needed to choose my words carefullyābecause from that moment on, both of our lives would change forever.
Itās unbelievable that there are still people today who think Michael is guilty. Werenāt 13 years of persecution enough? Jordan Chandlerās confession, his declared innocence after the trial twenty years ago, the inconsistencies in the testimonies of his accusers, the lies surrounding the statements made by Robson and Safechuck⦠it should all be more than enough. It doesnāt take much to do a bit of research ā today everything is available online and easily accessible. Just look it up. I wonāt accept this anymore. Not today.
I looked around, trying to understand where I was.
It seemed like the entrance of a mansion owned by a wealthy businessman. On my left, a beautiful white marble staircase with a black-painted iron railing. My first instinct was to go upāand so I did.
I climbed slowly, step by step, heart pounding so loudly that I could hear each beat echoing through the silence. I didnāt dare say a wordānot even to check if someone was there.
At the top of the stairs, I felt something soft under my feet.
I looked down: I was barefoot, walking on a Persian rug that covered the entire corridor. Suddenly, I heard a noise.
It sounded like a heart monitor from a hospital. Curious but terrified, I crept toward the illuminated room.
Standing at the doorway, I froze.
A man lay motionless in the bed. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I saw oxygen tanks by the bed and a Black man fiddling with a needle and a vial beside him. For a second, I didnāt understandābut then realization struck:
I knew that man.
Conrad Murray.
What the hellā¦
Before I could react, I felt a hand grabbing my wrist. I turned sharply.
Two deep, dark eyes stared at me, solemnly.
Michael.
I stared at him in disbelief, but he said nothing. Instead, he turned his gaze to the scene before us. I couldnāt help but observe him: his serious face, his empty, lifeless eyes, his body⦠too thin, his skin marked by vitiligo and lupus.
I looked down at his hand gripping my wristāit was ice cold.
It hit me:
This was a dream.
A nightmare.
I felt my cheeks wet. I wiped away the tears streaming down my face. I was witnessing his death.
I turned back toward Murray.
He was now frantically stuffing vials into a bag. Michaelās body lay lifeless in the bed; the monitor emitted the long beep of death.
I looked at Michael beside me; panic rose in my chest. I had to save him. Bastard, I thought, watching Murray hide the evidence.
I screamedābut no sound came out.
No.
Ā« MICHAEL! Ā»
Nobody could hear me. I was screaming voicelessly, utterly powerless.
Ā« Please, NO! Ā»
Michaelās grip on my wrist remained firm.
I struggled to break freeāto reach the dying figure on the bed.
Ā« NO, PLEASE, LET ME GO! Ā»
"Save me."
I froze.
In one swift motion, I turned to him.
He was looking at me, his eyes brimming with tears never shed, pleading silently.
And thenāin a blinkāhe vanished.
I woke up gasping, drenched in sweat and trembling.
It had been 13 years since I last had that dream.
But this time, something felt different.
I got up, splashed water on my face, and took deep breaths to calm my pounding heart. I looked at myself in the mirror.
Once I managed to calm down, I returned to bed, knowing that sleep would not come easily.
That dream would haunt me for days to come.
