A SciFi-ish Mind-Control Story

Writing Journal: I've finished revising the Elizabeth Bowden scene in The Adjusters #34, and damn if I'm not finding myself itching to tell a lot more of her backstory. It won't fit in the story line, but maybe I can write a one-shot at some point about it. You know, just to fill in some of the blanks...



Sorry for the silence, folks. Impromptu trip last week that kept me away from the keyboard.

By way of forgiveness, here's a pretty good mind-control story that I ran across while meandering the web a few weeks ago. It's Bait and Switch, by Dark_Brother: “A college student gets new abilities.” A mundane description, as usual for Literotica, but it sets the stage. Our hero wakes up with the ability to control people, and sets about to use it, like we expect he does. But then the plot (because there is a plot) kicks in, and the explanation for the ability arrives, and our hero gets involved in a sci-fi scenario that is both interesting and actually pretty gripping in places. There's a bit of incest thrown in there because, hey, why not, but it doesn't particularly detract or attract—they might as well be step-folks. Oh, and it's complete, which is always a happy thing.
