"Master, where would You have me go?"

[The crowd keeps an obsurdly healthy distance from me, because I am unclean. The crowd is following a Man who heals]
"Master, if you are willing You can make me clean!" I exclaim. "I am willing." He lifts me with His right hand on the side of my face to a standing position. My hand and back fill with warmth and are healed. Now embracing, I look up at Him and ask: "Master, where would You have me go?" He motions out with His right hand, His left arm still around me. I see a tree in the distance. As a bird lands in its branches, I believe it is a mustard tree. The roots tear up and the tree is hurled into the sea over a cliff. Walking up and looking where the tree was, I gaze into a gaping hole. There is mirky water in the bottom and I ask Him: "Is it a well?" Afraid to lower myself into the water, I do it anyways. Now in the well, I look up and see the circular hole. While treading water, my voice echoes up to the top: "What now?" "Swim" is His one-word response from above. I swim down into the mirky water; it is dark but I see something shiny at the bottom. As I get closer to the bottom, I see a golden key. I take it and swim back to the surface. With one big gasp, I fill my lungs with fresh air. He then reaches in and pulls me out, taking me by the hand. He asks: "What did you find?" I open my right hand, revealing the golden key. He motions with the same hand again to a brown door just steps away and says: "Use it."
