Muse Talk?
“Your writer continues to not skip a day, huh?”
“He can’t stop, the brainwashing is simply too strong.”
“You really outdid yourself this time, my friend.”
“Thank you.”
“You never pulled one of your stunts on me, have you?”
“Of course not. Unless you actually believe we’re really talking…”
“Oh sh…”
“Wake up, my dear.”
As I mentioned before in the past, the first piece of the first year of this challenge back in 2016 involved two Muses talking about a writer. The mindfuck there was more implied than actually shown but it’s there. The Muses have appeared a few more times over the years but have since given way to other recurring characters.
Today, I chose to revisit them with the following idea in mind: what if their humorous talks from before weren’t really a thing but yet another mindfuck? If writers can be brainwashed and enslaved, can’t Muses too? Year 4 is almost coming to an end. Is Year 5 around the corner? Perhaps.
Symptoms
“Are you okay?” Roxy asked.
“I don’t know…” Brian replied. “What were the symptoms again?”
“Dizziness, dry tongue and cold sweat for the incubation period. Seeing everything green for the final stage.”
“Oh damn! I see it. Does this mean I’m going to die?”
“No. Just that you’re a very good hypnotic subject.” She laughed.
Random impromptu about changing one’s perception of reality through hypnosis. What do you mean the text above is all green? Oops, I guess you’re under too. You don’t mind, right?
Last day of the month but not the last day of this challenge. Until tomorrow.
