I used a word generator, got "deprive", and well, things went from there...

They took great pleasure in depriving you of your sight. Not that you were complaining. You took great pleasure from not being able to see. It was freeing to not be able to know what exactly they were doing. In your minds eye, all you were seeing were your mantras, over and over.

Repeating, on a loop. Your hypnotised mind couldn’t begin to contemplate opening your eyes. And then, when they brought you up, you found your eyelids would not budge. Welded shut, they resolutely stayed closed. Which was fine. Until they asked you to open them.

And in that instant, confusion crossed your mind. Your eyelids would not move. They could not move. But your hypnotist had given you an order, and you could not refuse. Furiously, you tried to open your eyes, focusing, straining.

And with each bit of energy you used trying to open your eyes, the rest of your body felt a little heavier, a little more relaxed. With each attempt to move your eyelids a millimetre, your limbs grew leaden. And before long, the rest of your body was stuck, just like your eyes.
