Part 10 of  Darkwitt 's Hypnovember challenge in which an otter helps you to relax.

~~~
Oh hey. Orlando Clearwater here. 

I’m just taking a lazy day here at Cognizant. 

Just lying down on the river muse ever so calmly and lazily.

Huh, what was that man? 

You say that’s all I’ve done since I got here, just lie down on the river? 

Well…yeah. I’m an otter, dude. 

It’s in my nature to be lazy. 

I mean, personally, I wouldn’t really call it lazy. I

I’d call it just really, really relaxed.

That’s not something I’d call you though dude.

You look really, really, unrelaxed.

What’s stressing you out? 

Home? 

School? 

Work? 

Love life? 

Something else entirely?

Look, I get it man, we all have our struggles. 

That’s just a part of life, dude.

Still, you seem like the kind of person who can ONLY think of their worries.

Just look at yourself. 

When is the last time you’ve ever just relaxed?

When is the last time you just let go?

When’s the last time you just took a lazy day?

That’s it, today you're having that lazy day.

Here why don’t I help you out. 

Just stare into my calming blue eyes.

My light blue eyes.

They are almost as blue as the river.

Almost as blue as the sea.

Almost as blue as…another blue thing dude.

Don’t worry about what that thing is dude, just let all your worries float away down the river.

Rolling down the river, just like an otter.

Your’e acting just like an otter, dude.

Come to think of it, aren’t you an otter?

Yeah dude, I think you are an otter.

You may nto see yourself as an otter, but I know.

Otters like me know otters.

And you are definitely an otter like me.

Now don’t get the wrong idea dude, you are not me.

You are not Orlando Clearwater, that’s me man.

But you aren’t who you think you are too.

Your’e like…one of my brethren or something like that?

What’s a brethren anyways?

Well you're not my brother, no relation here.

It’s more like…you're just like a close otter friend of mine.

And otters are more relaxed than most other species.

It’s in your nature to be lazy. 

So come on in, keep staring into my eyes.

Keep staring into them as you head into the water.

Yes, just keep staring at them.

Feel your surfer slang voice come out.

Feel your inner lazy otter take the surface.

Just relax and join me in the river.

Me and all the other otters that are here too.

They all just want to relax, and you do.

Let the laziness of the otter consume you.

Feeling better dude?

Good.

I’m glad I could help a fellow otter get rid of his stress. 

Otters are supposed to be laid back after all and it’s not natural for them to worry to much, man.

You certainly feel a lot calmer now don’t you?

Just lazily floating on the river.

Not a care in the world.

Just like the rest of us.
