Nightmare

 Psychologist: “What do you see Carl?”

Carl: “Well, I voted, I got involved with the political system then all hell broke loose.”

Psychologist: “Tell me, what happened?”

Carl: “It was like the movie about taking the red and blue pill. It was like I woke up and everyone else was asleep. Or like a dream that turned into a nightmare and as I awoke no one was around to feel my pain. I was completely alone. That’s how I ended up in here. I wanted to feel alive, I wanted to believe in a dream that everyone would be holding hands happy and singing with me, but that’s not the case.”

Psychologist: “Are you having suicidal thoughts?”

Carl: “No, it just feels like I’ve been thrown into a crowd of angry people who are ripping me apart. I don’t know who’s with me. I guess I’m just like everyone else. Wondering in the wilderness trying to survive.”

Psychologist: “How is your sleep?”

Carl: “I sleep well, I’ve learned not to talk politics though. It’s like I awoke from a good dream only to find out that reality is a nightmare.”

Psychologist: “Here’s another red pill to keep you awoke at night.”

Carl soon realizes that he can’t go back to sleep, he can’t go back to the way things used to be.
