" Take the money". Alvin opened his tired eyes. It was dark in the room except from the glow of the TV. 
" You need the money". The strange voice cackled in Alvin's head. " So just take it".
Alvin could see the blue suitcase by the front door. " It's not right to take what is not yours".
" You need the money Alvin". The voice cackled. " No one will ever know".
The voice kept getting louder.
" You have no money Alvin". The strange voice got louder. " Just take the money in the blue suitcase".
" No" Alvin replied in a tired voice. " I refuse to blame God for my troubles".
" Nobody will know". The voice got louder. " Just take the money".
" No". Alvin began to cry. " God, please help me".
A quiet voice filled Alvin's head. " It is finished".
A cold presence left the hotel room.
Alvin fell into a deep sleep.
