Mag 11 - Dreamer
“Antonio Blake” 14.03.2015, London, England.
“Antonio” describes a series of unsettling dreams that he begins having after leaving his job following a mental breakdown. He sees coiling strands of some dark material winding around people who appear distorted - all attaching to different parts of them. He can move around and apparently get hurt, but doesn’t feel pain and can’t affect his surroundings. He eventually finds his old manager John in the office suspended by a black tendril holding him by the neck.
He later finds out that John had hung himself following losing a custody battle with his ex wife. He realises that his dreams foreshadow imminent deaths, but is unable to stop them or warn folks. Eventually he sees one entering the chest of his father, who dies of a heart attack a month and a half later.
What brought him to the institute was a dream he had two nights previous. The tendrils in his dream pulsed red, choking the streets, and he thought he might be able to see briefly illuminated shadowy faces within them. He followed them to the institute - and all converged on Gertrude Robinson - who has this light pouring into her. He submitted this statement hoping she would read it.
Notes: This is incredibly early foreshadowing to the events of MAG160! Wow!!!! (Talked about under the cut).
