THE CHOSEN ONES ( PART FIFTY EIGHT )

Addie left the Control room, he walked back along
the corridor towards his son's room.

Opposite Luke's door, was the living quarters, again Addie placed his left hand onto the pad and
his left eye towards the beam of light, releasing
the door.

As he entered, he pressed a button on the wall, the
screen on the monitor came on, then he pressed
another and his son's room appeared on the screen,
everything seemed quiet and okay, so he turned it
off.

The living quarters were very open plan, but
comfortable. There were no ornaments or knick-knacks, not even a picture.

The air conditioning kept the room at a constant
temperature, there was also a built in dehumidifier.

There were four comfortable loungers and a long
glass table with chairs.

To the right, was a kitchen with many gadgets,
everything could be done, by voice control, even
down to turning the oven off and on.

Straight ahead were glass doors, which went the
whole length of the room. Beyond the doors...was
a Conservatory, which then led into the domed
garden.

To the right of the Conservatory was a raised,
concrete pond, with a small waterfall, which fed
its way down. From the waterfall, were different
levels, candles sat on ledges and in little nooks.
Crystals had been placed in the concrete, to create
a beautiful effect.

Addie opened one of the glass doors, leading into
the domed garden.

Lena turned to face Addie, "how's Luke, did he get
off to sleep okay?"

"Straight away, I've just checked his room, he's
sleeping soundly. Look I'm just going off to relax,
I need to wind down before sleep, will you be okay?"

"Yes I'll be fine, I think I'll be going to bed
myself soon."

Addie came back in, closed the glass door, then
made his way to the kitchen, he poured himself some
water, then walked back outside into the corridor.

The room next to his son's, was their bedroom, again it was very basic, a bed...a bedside table on
each side. There was a door to the right of the bed, which led to a room where they kept their clothes, to the left was another door leading to a
bathroom, it was quite clinical and white.

He relieved himself, then returned to the bedroom,
changing into some loose clothing. He pressed a
button on the wall...a voice came on:-

"Good day to you." The voice spoke again. "I would
like you to get yourself comfortable and prepared
to relax."

Addie lay on the bed. The voice spoke again. "I
would like you to concentrate on your breathing.
Take a deep breath in, now bring your arms up...
and over your head, now flex your feet and stretch.
Okay exhale and bring your arms down by your side.

I want you to forget the day's activities, or any
worries, concentrate on your breathing.

Now imagine you are letting go, any tension in your
body is released. Your whole body is relaxing,
sinking, floating.

Your eyes are becoming very heavy, you need to close them, they become heavier...and heavier...
and heavier...your sinking further and further into
total relaxation."

As Addie lay there a hypnotic drone sound played out, which was then followed by some quiet relaxing
music.

Soon he was ready for sleep, pulling back the
bedding, he slipped in and was asleep almost
immediately.
