Entry 9: The Man with Red Eyes

I'll never recite the multiplication table again.

Against Calvin's compulsion, we entered the CENTRAL Central Intelligence Centre of Camazotz. There, Charles' bravado got us reported by a man who ran the number one spelling machine on the second grade level. Charles, oh Charles...

As we entered the wall (it opened up due to the man's A21 card), we walked down an aisle. Suddenly, Charles said, with a panicked note in his voice, "Don't let go my hands! Hold me tight!He's trying to get at me!" We continued down the walkway, and at the end was a man in a chair. The most peculiar thing about the man was that he had red eyes, and had  blue light pulsing at the top of his forehead. Charles said that the man could hypnotise us if we looked into his eyes. However, he said there were other ways. He wanted to show us, how foolish it is to fight, when he would make our decisions for us and take away all responsibility from us. Ha.
Then, he got us to say the multiplication table together, to hypnotise us. We retorted, by shouting out other things, like nursery rhymes.
He laughed and said we had passed our preliminary tests with flying colours. He told us it was unnecessary to speak as he could understand us.
Charles then darted forward and punched the man. He said that something was speaking through the man. The man got Charles to look into his eyes to find out who he was. I tackled Charles, to get him out of his trance. The man got angry. I got him to give us food. He gave us synthetic food. Charles wanted to get hypnotised again as the man promised us to tell where Father was if Charles did it. Then, he got hypnotised, and started eating his synthetic food like it was the best meal ever. He refused to eat only a moment before, saying that the food tasted like sand.
What has happened to Charles????!!!!!
