Jack van der Merwe was working the night shift at the Harbor when suddenly he heard a voice in his head telling him to relax and go to a quiet place where he could be alone. 

He went into the shed where the wool bales were stacked. He was standing there, listening to the noise of the dock, when suddenly he found himself in a strange place, as if he were standing in water, almost as if he were under water. 

It was very foggy and there were people around him. They were described as dark and dressed in white flowing robes. They seemed very beautiful. A voice spoke to him in his head, which gave him all sorts of advice and warnings that he doesn't remember. He felt relaxed and calm. 

The next thing he knew, he heard the dock again and went back to his office, where he realized that he had been gone for two hours.
