It'll be alright. Still think you're wrong. When it comes to these kind of things, I've never been wrong. Well, then this will be your first time. Sara? I think it's better if you hide it. Hi sweetheart, welcome! Shall we get your stuff right away? We can take it later. Okay, alright. I'm just cleaning up after a client. And then I planned to make some tea for us. I found a new recipe for a herbal tea, which you just got to try. With some honey added, it'll be magical. Sara. I'm so happy you are
moving back home again. So much have happened to you. But I'll take care of you. I've almost finished that new book, by the way. Did I tell you about it? Intrant Spiritus Mundi It's amazing! It has really given me completely new possibilities I didn't even really know you could.. Here I am rambling. How are you? Did you find anything to apply for? That was something me and Jenny should've done together. Can't believe she left without telling me. Yeah, well. People change, I guess. But we have
known eachother since kindergarden. And now we are just.. strangers. Don't mull over it. What's done is done. Try to find something interesting to apply for down here, and stay here at my place. Have Christoffer reached out to you? Why would he do that? He was the one who broke up. No? Good. Did you say good? Not really a secret I didn't like him. You were not meant for eachother, I could see that. Did you read that in your cards? No! Absolutely not! I only read my clients, you know that. No
family, and no friends. What's wrong? Let me have a look at you. Are you not sleeping? Maybe we should find a crystal that will help you sleep better? Smoky quartz, heliotrope, rose quartz maybe? Why do I see fear around you? What's wrong? You can tell mom. You know that feeling of being watched? I'm like.. getting that feeling all the time at home.. And sometimes.. I see something.. See what? How often do you see this? Multiple times a week. A figure? This is not good. Belzebub, baphomet.. or
maybe a demon from.. But mom, I don't believe in those things. Don't be so quick to close your mind, dear child. There are dark forces out there. Make no misstake. I know. I have seen it. But hey, It's perfect you're moving back home. No dark forces will enter this place as long as I am around. But mom, we never decided that I was going to move back home again. Yes we did! No, you decided. But.. I want to try to find an another apartment. Oh, really? Mom? No, no. It's alright. Have a seat and
I'll be right out with our tea. So you got your lease extended? I'll actually stay at a friends place, until I find something. A friend? Who is this "friend"? Yeah, he is new. You don't know him. So you are going to live with a stranger? He is actually helping me with something. And I trust him. He actually got the same hobbies as you. He gave me this. He's obviously an amateur, and he has no idea what he's doing. Do you know what that crystal is ment for? Not for better sleeping, that's for
sure!! He told me it's to protect from negative energy, and cut unhealthy ties. And I thought you said you don't believe in those things? But it's a gift, mom. He drove me here. He's waiting in the car so I'll have to get moving soon. Well, this was disappointing. It needs more herbs. I'll be right back. You cannot breathe. You cannot breathe. You cannot breathe.. Alright, I've tasted it - now it's perfect. It's little bit bitter. It will disappear after a couple of sips. Sara. Let's go grab y
our stuff, and get it over with. It doesn't seem safe with you staying at a strangers place. And you know what? If you really want Jenny to come back home from New York.. then maybe I can make it happen? And then you can start hanging out again? Instead of.. this amateur, who is giving you crystals out of the blue. New York? Yes? Mom, did you put a curse on me? What are you talking about? How did you know Jenny went to New York? I never told you what city she went to. I made a guess, I sup
pose. Why did Christoffer break up with me? Why did Jenny go to New York without telling me anything? Sara, calm down. Why didn't I get accepted to any of the schools I applied to? Is it because of you? Have you sabotaged everything with this? Why can't you see I am the only one left here for you? Please just drink the tea and you'll see you'll feel alot better. Okay. Mom. Listen. I am not going to move back home again. So stay out of my life, and my friends. Mom, what are you doing? Mom, l
et go of me. Not even when you're all alone would you come back to me again. Mom, let go! Mom, let go of me! Do you know how much I've sacrificed for you? Mom? You owe me! Mom, let go of me! You don't have a choice. You are coming back home to me immediately. Let go of me, mom! Sara! Please come back! Just remember.. As long as you wear the crystal.. Yeah, I know. She won't be able to stalk me. Please, can we just get out of here? Sara.. Please, don't leave me.. Hi, I miss you too. Sorry for no
t getting back to you. I'll be home next week from New York, would be nice meet and catch up. Sara! Please come back!

Riktigt snyggt, cinematografin was on point!

@End_Antiwhiteism

This film was very cool! I thought for a second that Sara's friend would not survive, but I like how the crystal lit up and saved him from death, and saved Sara from a similar fate. The story feels fresh and original, unlike most of the crap being produced in Hollyweird these days. Thank you, sir!

@NomeDeArte

The alien shorts were amazing. Looking forward to this one. Best regards from Argentina!

@Tenshi-Quinn

That was fantastic! The mood you set with the subtle audio cues and the quiet droning ambient sound effects - both really made me feel instantly immersed. I felt wonder; Who is the man in the car and what is his relation to the girl. What are these crystals and what are their origins - since just their mere presence can avert dark forces - are they pieces from a holy/sanctified object from some other mystical place? I felt sadness; when the darkness of the relationship between her mother and herself presented itself via the idea of a curse. I felt fear; the way you present other-worldly forces is perfect - hardly showing us what it is, but you let us know SOMETHING is there in the dark, watching, ...waiting. I felt hope; waiting and hoping to learn more about these characters and what shaped their lives to be this way - my hope being your follow up episodes will show us HOW her mother was firstly seduced by the darkness, and what has transpired in the past that made her daughter want to leave in the first place. Your scene lighting is always excellent, your camerawork utterly professional, ...and we - are spoiled to have this level of quality for a short film, ...FREE on youtube. THANK YOU MARTIN! I really can't wait to see the rest! ~Michael "Tenshihan" Quinn

@sweetvegan74

Wow, very intriguing short!

@chillsoft

This was awesome!

@dracolicha

Hiciste una maravilla con la de alien, algo que no siquiera los productores llegaron a conseguir que es la tension en todo momento. Tienes que producir otra de esa misma calidad!
