Encircled

* * *
They both looked at each other, and then down at you, in the chair. One of your hypnotists stepped left, the other stepped right, and they began to encircle you.
“I don’t know which of us you’ll find easier to listen to.” Said one.
“But it will be one of us. If you really pay attention.” Said the other.
“If you focus hard enough on both of our voices, you’ll find that you come to realise which one of our voices is easier to listen to.” The first said, their hand taking hold of your right shoulder, and giving it a little squeeze. You looked up, into their eyes.
And you felt your second hypnotist run a hand through your hair. “If you can’t tell yet, you need to focus more. Shut out everything else, but us. Just our voices. You can do that, can’t you?” You felt yourself nodding, already finding your mind beginning to feel weak.
They both spoke in unison. “Whichever one of our voices is easier to listen to, it doesn’t change the fact that you want to drop.”
And then their voices split apart again. “and you will drop.”
“Drop deep, for us.”
“Because it’s so easy.”
“So easy to drop.”
“You’ve done it so many times before, for us individually.”
“And now we’re together. Just think of how much power we have over your mind.”
It felt like their voices were slicing through your consciousness. Cutting away your thoughts, pulling you down.
Until only your focus on them remained. And they kept speaking.
“Are you sure you haven’t dropped already?”
“Fallen into trance for our pretty voices?”
“Are you sure that you even have any thoughts at this point?”
“Do you even want to have thoughts at this point?
“Silly little toy. You don’t need to think.”
“You just need to drop.” Their finger snapped, in unison, and your mind was gone.
