I opened my eyes as I lay in bed to a melody being hummed by a man, a man with a deep but angelic voice. I lay in bed listening trying to make out the melody; although familiar I could not place where I may have heard it or if I was hearing it.
I closed my eyes only to see the eyes of my cat staring straight into my eyes, I stared back in shock, unable to open my eyes, I then found myself in the middle of grass long uncut grass,, as green as grass could get. Was I looking through my cats eyes? Within seconds of realizing what was happening, I was back in my bed. I managed to open my eyes. Inca (my cat) lying on the foot of bed asleep. I told myself I was just overly tired.
I turned onto my right side and closed my eyes feeling safe Inca was close by. I really needed to get to sleep, I had work. I was unaware of the time, but desperate for sleep. I literally just closed my eyes and I found myself staring directly into her eyes again. I found myself struggling to move away through shear fear, what the heck was happening. I have never been through anything like this before. I was now looking through here eyes. The nun's eyes. How do I know it was a nun? I saw the head piece. The same nun I have seen many a times in the past.
I saw a man's face a very nice looking man, clear skin, very gentle, short dark hair. I saw a woman, pretty, fair skinned. They are so in love. He was holding her, she had her back to him, he kissed her neck, she melted in his arms, he touched her face, she nuzzled closer to him. They are so happy together. I jumped out of that scene and found myself looking through her eyes again. I felt angry, pained, confused, I saw him again, the closer he tried to get the greater the distance, he was desperate to get close to her to me, but there was something in between keeping us them apart. His face turned from a gentle man to a man of anger, an evil man, I found myself trying to get away from him, he came closer I ran from him. I pulled myself out and found myself staring straight into her eyes, I turned around and there he was right in front of me, he face changed what seem like a million times. One minute the gentle lover then a man full of anger, rage.
Unsure of what happened next, I found myself looking at her at me through his eyes, lying on the floor, in the middle of a circle, wrapped in a white cloth. The circle was lit up with a light I cannot really describe other than as a misty light, around the circle in which I lay surround by nothing, but emptiness.
It was at this point I managed to pull myself out of what seemed like I had been in two souls. I had been shown the past of two lovers. The love, the pain, the sorrow. I felt something that kept them apart but what I do not know.
I got up and looked at Inca who was also sitting up looking in my direction. I looked at the clock and it was past 1am. I slowly lay back down, closed my eyes yet again. I slowly let my thoughts go through everything I saw, at which point sleep took over me finally.

First of all, this site is not public property, it's privately owned, so we can pretty much do as we please. That being said, everyone involved, editors and moderators, strive to be fair because we are good people 😉
Second, our editors are volunteers that read day in, day out, stories submitted by the public and decide if they should be published or not, based on their own judgments so visitors don't have to go themselves through a lot of the crappy ones. It's a lot of work. We may make errors, we are not perfect.
Third, those editors do get a pass at publishing and approving their own experiences if they so wish, that's one of the (few) perks for all the donation of their personal time. However, keep in mind that editors are amongst the most trusted and mature users on this site, so I wouldn't make an issue out of this.
Conflict of interest? Probably, but we are not the New York Times or the Judiciary Branch 😆
