Con-artists



In her dreams she sees other faces, new places and a giant screen with chairs all in rows.

Her position though, is facing them and a light glows out of place. He wants her life, so he can go into the hereafter.

She's still alive living her life. As a man in the other dimension she doesn't know him and a woman in her reality.

He repeats her ideas and claim they're his. He'll do anything to steal the souls of her kids...

As she wakes she loves her children up, while he shows his desperation in his cup.
