Allen's Tape

Allen's Tape is the third of the six tapes in In Sound Mind. This tape is involved with Allen Shore.
== Procedure ==
You will find this tape in Allen’s house the first time you visit it, and you will need to play it in Your Office on the 2nd Floor of your building. Inside the lighthouse level, you will be trying to replace the lightbulb in the lighthouse. You will need to make your way through the area near the lighthouse, down to the ship below for the Flare Gun, through the Warehouse, and back to the Lighthouse to eventually replace the light bulb. 
== Dialogue ==
=== Before beating this tape ===
Desmond, "Okay, Mr. Shore, tape's running. Thank you for agreeing to be recorded."
Allen, "Oh, um. Should I just... start talking? What do you wanna know?"
Desmond, "What made you decide to seek counseling?"
Allen, "Aw man, doc... it's just weird... As in - I feel weird, like, I'm weird all the time, you know? I'm not saying this right... people think I'm weird, and it's cool, I am, but I shouldn't feel weird, right?"
Desmond, "How, exactly, do you feel weird?"
Allen, "Off? Odd? Slightly... tilted? I've had these nightmares, ever since I can remember I've always had these horrific dreams I can't explain, and they recur, man, like there are themes in them that keep coming back... and honestly, doc, It's been such a constant that I... shape my life around them, you know?"
Desmond, "Have you ever seen anyone about these recuring nightmares?"
Allen, "Like a shrink? Like you? No, honestly, for the longest time I thought it was normal life... to wake up... sweaty, to see things in the dark... frightful things..."
Desmond, "What is it that frightens you, Allen?"
Allen, "See... see that's the thing I don't get - my... my whole life, I could feel the presence of shadows... I could hear sorrow in the dark... It's poetic, man, I know, I... I got so used to being paralyzed by dread that I... I began to like it. And people began to notice, you know? I... I say weird stuff sometimes I guess. At some point I just decided to live comfortably in this reality. Maintaining a beacon of light over a sea of darkness... alone... and afraid... But I'd be lying if I didn't admit that in being swallowed by darkness... or sinking to the depths... It makes me feel alive, man! It's electric."
