“Just one more swing, and then you’ll look away, isn’t that right, toy?” Your hypnotist laughed as your eyes were drawn back and forth by the pocket watch swaying before your eyes. “Just one more swing. Every time. Just one more. And another.”
It was so hard to think by this point. But you knew that you had to stop. You had to keep resisting. “And you can keep telling yourself that you’ll look away any second now toy. Even though you don’t really want to. Not when watching makes you feel so very good and fuzzy.”
Your mind was static. Your body was struggling to listen to your directions. And each moment, the watch continued to swing. You couldn’t speak. “Hush toy, it’s okay. You can stop watching soon. Just one more swing, alright? Just one more. But who knows which one?”
