Placeholder
Claude stared helplessly at Rachel’s drawing and asked:
“This is not the final version?”
“It’s just a placeholder,” she smiled.
“But it’s so… irresistible.”
“Imagine the power of the final product then.”
“Oh, God!” his cock hardened.
“Be patient.”
“I will,” he drooled.
She continued working while the draft spiral held his mind in place.
By now, you know I always use a featured image for each post. My site’s theme has a placeholder feature for when I forget to upload something but I rarely use it. Today, I was reminded of it and decided to use the concept in some way. The last sentence of the micro-tale was the first thing that came to me as I imagined a man “held in place”, i.e. frozen, staring at a hypnotic image of some kind. Then, I built the rest of the piece around it.
Reunion
Charles and Martin stood by the entrance of their old High School dressed as hookers while horrified teachers walked by.
“We probably should have been nicer to Angie all those years ago…” Charles muttered.
“You think?” Martin grumbled, lifting his skirt.
Watching from a distance, the former victim of bullying and now successful Hypnodomme, smirked.
You see high school reunions all the time in movies and TV shows but here where I live, they’re rarely a thing and, to be honest, even if they were, I’m not sure I would attend one.
Anyway, a random thought about this phenomenon led to this idea blooming in my mind, and so I wrote it. Evildoers should be punished even if it’s only ten or twenty years later, don’t you think?
The Mind-Killer
“How dare you use The Voice on me?” Paul spat after being brought to his knees.
“Silence, boy!” The Reverend Mother said, hands wrapped around his cock. “You may be learning our ways but you lack real power. Let me show you.”
Enslaving thoughts swept his mind like a desert storm. Woman is the mind-killer.
Saw Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune – Part I” in the theater today. It was a slow burn but I really enjoyed it. I read the book many moons ago but I still remembered enough of the plot to understand the political and religious atmosphere pervading it. Loved the visuals and any mind control fan is sure to like the idea of The Voice.
Anyway, seeing I often toy with literature, movies, and TV shows, I thought it would be a good idea to twist Paul’s story into something else. Instead of a ‘Messiah’, he will forever be a puppet in this alternate take. His powers were wasted on a male, anyway. It’s better to have no control.
Another Update
“Where’s your husband, sis?” Janet asked.
“Plugged in,” Carol replied.
“Another update?”
“Fourth this week.”
“That seems a lot.”
“They’re revamping the neural system and adding some goodies.”
“Like what?”
“Advanced Cunnilingus Training, for starters.”
“I want a test run.”
“Wait two hours.”
Carol rubbed her hands. It was a good thing they shared everything.
We live in a world of updates. Pretty much every piece of tech we own can be connected to the internet and have its functionalities stripped or enhanced. If this keeps up, sooner or later, we too will be like upgradable machines.
Robotization is a strong fetish associated with mind control. While I don’t share it, I do write about it from time to time and today felt like a good day to do so. This was the first idea that came to me.
