Words are mere noises, mere ripples in the universe pond. All forgotten once said, but with a weight so heavy you can't help but be crushed under them.

FOUR.

Silent Water seems relaxing, I guess. They have their number on the website too.

"Hi, are you.. uh.. from Silent Water Hypnosis?"

"Mhm, what can I do for you today?" A young woman answered the phone.

"I'd like to make an appointment, preferably for today." I noticed I was stuttering a bit more than usual. "If possible."

"Sorry, we're booked until the end of October."

That's six months away..

"Is there any way that I could maybe get an appointment before then? It's sort of urgent."

"I'll see what I can do." I could hear the grin on her face. "But it'll come for a price."

A cold chill rushed through my spine. It felt oddly familiar.

"Valued customer? Are you still there?"

"Yeah, sorry. What price?"

"There is a VIP plan that gives you exclusive access to any appointment that gets cancelled or rescheduled." She paused. "It's a yearly membership."

"Oh okay, if I got that membership when would be the soonest appointment I could have?"

"Sorry, valued customer. That's private information available to only our VIP members."

Okay fine.

...

"Thank you for your purchase!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." That's $200 I'll never get back. "Now when's the next appointment available."

"Monday at 10."

Shit I have work.

"Can I think about it?"

"Yea, of co-," A pause and a bit of typing. "No, actually Monday at 10 is full now."

"You've got to be kidding me. That wasn't even 10 seconds.."

"But one opened up 3 o'clock that same Monday."

Ugh. No luck huh. I'm still gonna be at work but if I wait longer that one will get taken too.

"I'll take it."

Just two days. I'll be home all weekend, all I have to do is make sure she doesn't destroy the place in those two days.
