Anticipation
Added 2020-10-14 16:06:39 +0000 UTCWhen you've tranced with someone a lot, you get to learn what they're going to do. What if that alone dropped you?

The watch fell, hanging from its chain. It dangled before you. Instantly, your eyes were transfixed. It shined in the light as it slowly twisted. Just like their control twisted around and around your mind. Your brain was emptying out, and the watch wasn’t swinging yet.
They hadn’t started speaking yet. But you anticipated what would come. The watch would start to swing. That would make your already sleepy eyes even more tired. Your emptying mind would be filled with their words as they started to speak.
You were imagining it, and already you were dropping. Sinking, slipping into sweet sleepy trance. It felt so good. You didn’t know when your eyes had closed. You didn’t know when you had dropped. But suddenly you had, and they hadn’t said a word.
