Hallucinations

Someone I know suffers from hallucinations, he often sees things that aren't there. A trick of the eyes, or probably of the brain. It must be very disconcerting to see things that aren't really there.

My own eyes can play tricks on me too, like today, in the swimming pool. I had just gotten out of the water, and was walking along the side, when three women in the water were coming towards me. One woman in front, one to her left, one to her right, just behind her. They were fairly large women, moving slowly but surely through the water. And suddenly I had this vision of three cowboys heading in for a confrontation, I could hear Ennio Morricone's music in the background. It was quite frightening.
