“but the TV’s on and not crackling or smoking or anything”. She gave me a little look, and then glanced over at the TV. “That TV is about what, 10-12 feet away from you”? I nodded my head in agreement. She started to leave the room but looked back at me, “I’ll be right back Billy Speer”.
Nurse Mattie was gone less than a minute coming back into my room carrying a laptop, but making sure she followed the wall farthest away from me. She grabbed the mobile tray for my bed and put it directly underneath where the TV was mounted on the wall. She started typing something on the keyboard. Finished with that task she came back over to my bed. “Can you see the screen well enough”? I gave her a nod of approval. “Just give it a second to load, and try to keep your emotions in check, this is not a video that I would recommend for casual viewing”.
The video was kind of hard to follow, whoever was taking this was shaking the phone or camera. It started out with the emt people them wheeling me into the ER. My eyes felt huge, as if they would pop out of my head. The electricity that was coming out of my hands, feet, every part of my body, was chasing all of the medical staff running for cover. I guess the one nurse that tried to take my pulse, was the one, which burned her hand, although it didn’t look anywhere near as bad as Dr. Bangor made it out to be. The nurse touched my wrist for maybe a Nanosecond before pulling her hand away. Others were trying to cover me with some sort of sheet or blanket, but it started smoking and they had to pull it off.

With all this commotion going on the bolts of electricity continued to flow out of me. I was reminded of the elec-
tricity going through the Frankenstein monster, except what was coming out of me was ten times worse, if not more. The video stopped and I looked over at Nurse Mattie. “Pay close attention to what happens next”.
Nurse Mattie hit the play button again, and I was confuse as to what I saw. After being hit by lightning, I thought I was out for two days, unconscious like a vegetable, but there I was thrashing about the table in the ER like a fish out of water, I don’t get it. But then with her gloved hand, she gently tapped on my shoulder, “look”. What happened next was bizarre to say the least. There was one nurse trying to keep my left arm down by my side by wrapping her hand in a towel of some sort. An orderly tried to do the same with my right arm, but my arm came up away from my body, and the orderly went flying across the room, landing on some equipment that I’m sure would no longer be in good working order.
Nurse Mattie stopped the video again, “did you see that”? “Yeah, that guy went flying across the room”. “Well yes, but he had some help”. She re-winded the video just a bit, and hit play again, only this time at a slower speed. Here comes the orderly getting ready to hold my right arm down, and then, holy crap, I thought that some electricity had shot him across the room, but there was none. It looked like I swooped my arm in a fashion as if to say get away from me, and then he went flying across the room, except I didn’t touch him, honest to god I didn’t touch him.
Nurse Mattie stopped the tape, which was fine because I don’t think I could stomach much more of it. “I can tell

by the expression on your face that you saw what I did”. Still in a state of disbelief all I could do was nod, great now I’m a bobble head. “You see Billy Speer, the electricity flying around the room is not what sent him flying, and you in an unconscious state did that”. “Your unconscious mind
knew that you were being restrained, and your mind went into self-defense mode”. I couldn’t understand how it happened, but the video don’t lie. “So I really did this without thinking about it”? “Not exactly, you see even
