You opened the link your friend had sent you and were greeted by a large banner proclaiming: ‘Hattie’s Holiday Hypno-Store: You simply must shop till you drop!’ In the centre of the screen, below the banner was a large spiral, with the word ‘ENTER’ in the middle.
Clicking it took you to a store-page, filled with all sorts of hypnotic things. T-shirts with spirals on, pocket watches, books, all of it was appealing. And in the background, was a slow, very faintly pulsing spiral. Words flashed faintly across it.
And as you began to scroll, you could swear that there was something playing through your headphones. But it was so hard to actually hear that it could have just been something your brain made up. There it was again. Slightly louder, but still, you couldn’t tell what it was.
The spiral was becoming a distraction. But you didn’t stop scrolling. You couldn’t stop. All of these wonderful things, catching your eye. More and more spiral designs. More and more slogans:
‘I dropped at Hattie’s Hypno-Store’
‘Spirals make it easy to drop’
“The more I shop, the more I drop.”
It wouldn’t hurt to buy one. Would it? You added a T-shirt to your cart.
And the world felt a little slower. And that felt good.
“The more I shop, the more I drop.” The voice, it was definitely a voice, in your headphones. Speaking the truth. You added a pocket watch to your cart.
Your mind was slipping. You kept on finding more things you wanted. As gifts. For others, for yourself. It was all so good.
And eventually, you didn’t know how much later, you found yourself at the checkout. And there was a big box: “Share the link with a friend to get a discount!” And that sounded good. You knew some people who would love to buy some of this stuff.
So you shared the link. Just as your friend had shared it with you. And you knew that you’d be back to peruse Hattie’s store soon. There was so much more to buy. And you wanted to drop more.
