Sir's Hypno Show
A new fad had seemed to sweep through Sir Island with many of the islanders taking a new interest in erotic hypnosis. No one was really sure why this new fad took off but it was now all the rage. Maybe it was JamesBarz's and his leotards, or Tanya's heels that kicked off the trend, but everyone was jumping on the band wagon... except one.
"Hypnosis is so silly" said Seashell as she walking down the main street on Sir Island looking at all the new hypnosis themed shops that had popped up. She looked in a shop window at the display of pocket watches and Magic Eye spiral pictures and scoffed to herself. "People will believe any old nonsense" she thought to herself. Seashell knew that true conditioning took more than just silly gimmicks and half arsed MP3s from sketchy fetish sites.
Seashell popped into the grocery store to buy some pancetta when she bumped into Fern who was pushing a trolley full of tinned soups. "Fancy seeing you here!" said Fern. Seashell explained that she was going to be cooking a meal for Sir so needed some ingredients. "Oh, me too!" said Fern, gesturing to her trolley full of soup. Seashell looked at Fern's trolley and winced slightly before quickly changing the subject.
"So what do you think of all this hypnosis nonsense" asked Seashell.
"I dunno but people seem to be having fun" replied Fern.
"But you know it's not real right?" said Seashell.
"Maybe..." grinned Fern before saying goodbye and leaving.
Seashell continued to do her shopping and filled her trolley with various unpronounceable foreign sounding ingredients. As she shopped she couldn't help but wonder how everyone, even Fern, had become sucked into this hypnosis hysteria. "I'll prove them wrong" she thought.
Later that evening Sir was putting on a stage show at the local theatre. Everyone seemed to enjoy Sir's voice so these had become quite popular on Sir Island. Seashell had the idea that she would go along and see what all the fuss was about, and maybe even prove them wrong.
The theatre was full and most of the town's regulars were in the audience, she spotted Fern and Tanya sitting next to each other a few rows down. Seashell found a seat in the audience as the lights dimmed and the show started.
Sir then emerged from behind the stage curtain in a puff of smoke wearing an over the top wizard costume. His outfit looked homemade like maybe one of the townsfolk had knitted it for him. Seashell had not seen Sir like this before but found it endearing. The show continued much like you would expect a stage hypnosis show to, just the right mix of camp and self seriousness. Several audience members were invited up onto the stage and hypnotised to do various things like barking and hopping on one leg. Seashell thought it all seemed very silly.
As the show reached its end Sir asked for one last volunteer. Seashell stood up and Sir welcomed her down to the stage with a big smile. As she stood on stage with Sir she could hear murmuring and giggling from the direction of Tanya and Fern in the audience, but she was confident she would prove all this hypnosis stuff was just a silly game. Sir asked the audience if anyone had any suggestions of how to hypnotise Seashell, and Fern put up her hand and was invited up to the stage. Fern whispered her suggestion into Sir's ear as Seashell lay down on the reclining chair beneath the stage lights.
"Good Girl, you are getting very sleepy" said Sir with the cadence of a stereotypical hypnotist. Seashell rolled her eyes slightly but decided she would play along. She loved his voice but thought this was all very silly.
...
"Sir says wake. Good Girl" said Sir.
Seashell sat up slightly confused. "Was that it? He didn't even hypnotise me" she thought to herself. It didn't feel as though any time had passed but it must have as the show was ending and the audience were starting to leave. Seashell got up and left the stage to go home.
Later that week Seashell has invited Sir and Fern round for dinner, she has said that she would cook for them both. She had put on her favourite dress and laid the table ready for her quests to arrive. Fern was due to arrive early so that Seashell could show her how to cook.
There was a knock at the door and Seashell invited Fern in and the two of them started to prepare the kitchen.
Seashell tied up the back of Fern's apron and began to explain the recipe to her "So Fern what we're going to need is 500 grams of pancet...panc...pa... SPAGHETTI"
"One serving of... SOUP"
"a dash of... SOUP"
"and marinate in... SOUP... for two hours"
"Yes chef!" replied Fern with a large grin on her face.
It looks like Seashell could be hypnotised after all.
