One out of Two
“Why do you want to do this?” Allie inquired.
“You told me to.” Devon responded.
“So you want what I want? Yes or yes?”
“I… Yes.”
“Very good. You know what you want, then.”
Yes, he did. He wanted to strip and paint her house pink. Too bad she had forgotten to buy the paint…
This slightly humorous impromptu came to me as I was leaving the house earlier today and realized I need to paint the outside once more the moment the Winter rains are gone for good. Yes, that’s probably the most boring explanation possible for coming up with something like this but I have to stay true to my inspiration sources no matter how pragmatic they turn out to be. And now you’re probably wondering: wait, do you secretly want to be mindfucked into painting your own house naked for everyone to see? No, I don’t like pink. 😉 And that’s all I’m saying, okay?
No Struggle at All
“Mulder, I’ve seen it!”
“Seen what, Scully?”
“How it ends… and how it begins.”
“I’m confused.”
“There’s a virus… it’s going to be used to enslave all men.”
“Kinky, but I’m only into auto-erotic asphyxiation.”
“Mulder, get me a sample…”
“… to synthesize a cure?”
“Yeah, that’s it…” She mumbled, a devious smile on her lips.
The eleventh season of The X-Files premiered last night where I live and, although I love the show, I thought the whole thing was kind of ludicrous so I wrote my own take on it. It’s not the first time I’ve played with The X-Files when it comes to these but I’m kind of pretending it is, just like the show’s creator is pretending years of past stories aren’t relevant any longer to create a new conspiracy that makes little to no sense. Honestly, I think my idea is far more interesting than what he came up with but at least some Monster-of-the-week episodes are coming to wash away the bad taste last night’s episode left in my mouth. The title of this piece also twists the episode’s title. Instead of “My Struggle” (Part III!) it’s “No Struggle at All” to make Scully a powerful, deviant woman. As for the auto-erotic asphyxiation line, that’s a throwback to the series’ past because, according to Clyde Bruckmann, that’s how Mulder is going to die one day.
He Found It
“Eureka!”
“Archimedes, are you playing with my bath water again?” a disgruntled female voice was heard.
“No, Mistress.”
“And yet you’re inside it… explain!”
“I suddenly realized that the volume of water displaced must be equal to…”
“Yeah, yeah…” She intervened before drowning him in suggestions. She had other fluids for him to investigate thoroughly.
I’m sure you’re all familiar with the story usually associated with the word “Eureka” so I’m not going to recap it for you. I had an epiphany myself today concerning another project of mine and may or may not have used that word out loud to express my satisfaction. Once I started thinking about it all, this little twist on History (or legend, since no one knows for sure if Archimedes ever said it or not) was born. I hope you liked it.
Apologize
“Stop brainwashing me, Chloe!”
“You’re the one brainwashing me, Dan.”
“What?”
“I’m being controlled by you.”
“No, you’re the one controlling me!”
“I am?”
“Yes, you control me with…”
“Say I control you again.”
“You control me.”
“If I control you, I don’t need to brainwash you, do I?”
“Hmmm, no…”
“Apologize.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Good.”
I’ve written many pieces that deal with some kind of brainwashing before. This is simply another one. It came to me after reading a comment I received via e-mail on another piece of mine. I’m not at liberty to share the comment itself but it leaned heavily on the subject matter so I took the opportunity to add something more to the mix with this one. The overall tone is supposed to be humorous but something like this could definitely happen for nefarious purposes and that is not a good thing so… have fun with mind games but keep safe at all times. I can’t stress this enough.
