Hypnogories
“Okay, boys,” Olivia began, “the first category was Simple Commands (One Word Only). The base letter is O. What did you write?”
“Obey,” Jonathan said.
“Obey,” Mark repeated.
“Obey,” Peter droned.
“Glad you know the basics. Next category: Hypnodommes. Let me hear it.”
“Olivia.”
“Olivia.”
“Olivia.”
“Oh, this is going to be fun…” she giggled.
A version of Scattergories, using only hypnotic-related subjects. Seeing I created the game to be played within Inraptured’s chat room, it seemed appropriate to write something about it. This was the result.
Enter Her Prize
“Fascinating,” Spock said. “It seems our guest has mind-controlling abilities.”
“I kind of noticed that when she had me licking her feet!” Captain Kirk replied.
“And yet, you enjoyed it.”
“No, I didn’t!”
“Your anatomy betrays your words.”
“I really hate you sometimes.”
Sitting on the Captain’s chair, the Ambassador of Inrapta VI just laughed.
A silly detour into the world of the original Star Trek series, complete with punny title. I think it’s funny. How about you?
Kein Kampf
“How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think,” Adolf Hitler mused.
“How fortunate for the world that you’re going to stop thinking soon,” a woman’s voice echoed in the office.
“Who’s the…?”
His words froze alongside everything else. Emerging from a flash of light, the time-traveling hypnotist grinned, swastika-shaped pendant in hand.
There’s an old joke in the word of sci-fi that, if time-travel were possible, one of the first things to do with it should be to kill Hitler but, with the proper persuasion, perhaps such extremes wouldn’t be needed. Today’s piece brings back a recurrent character to do just that. His first sentence is a real quote, and the title is a jab at a book he wrote – Mein Kampf (My Struggle/Battle). Just by changing one letter, the result is No Struggle.
HPS
“The HPS in this watch is amazing,” Tracy said.
“GPS you mean?” Morgan asked.
“No. HPS stands for Hypnotic Positioning System. Look!” she pressed a button and the handles started spinning, faster and faster, turning everything into a blur.
“And now that you’re entranced,” she smirked, “I can position you to my heart’s content. Kneel!”
Move aside, Apple Watch! This is the real deal. They’re still not for sale but, when they do, I’m sure they’ll become quite valuable for Dommes.
