Day 1: Mind Control
This is actually my first piece of writing I’m publishing on this blog lol.
“Cocaine? I thought you were going to torture me,” Whumpee joked. They had been attempting to hide their nervousness behind a wall of confidence since Whumper brought them here.
“Scopolamine,” Whumper said bluntly.
Whumpee raised their brow as they watched Whumper pace in front of them, holding a vial full of white powder.
“It’s also known as ‘Devil’s Breath’. Comes from a plant grown in South America,” Whumper explained before twisting the cap off the vial.
“And? What does it do?” Whumpee questioned, then joked, “will it make me breathe fire?”
Whumper sighed, resisting the urge to hit Whumpee. No, they had to see if this “Devil’s Breath” really worked. They emptied the vial onto their gloved hand, then held it out in front of Whumpee. Then, they blew the powder into Whumpee’s face, as if they were blowing out the candles on a birthday cake.
Whumpee coughed. Whumper retreated to the other side of the room and leaned against the wall with their arms folded across their chest.
Whumpee continued to cough and spit the powder from their mouth. They attempted to wipe their face, but were crudely reminded of the chains keeping their arms against the wall. Their vision began to blur slightly, and it started to feel as if their mind was melting. Thoughts drained away and consciousness wasn’t something Whumpee was sure they knew.
Whumper checked their watch and decided that enough time had gone by. They approached Whumpee, whose head had fallen forward, and clapped their hands together loudly. Whumpee’s head shot up.
“Let’s see if this worked. Whumpee, tell me your greatest fear,” Whumper ordered, something Whumpee refused to do before.
“Needles,” Whumpee answered quickly, their speech slightly slurred.
“Good,” Whumper replied, then thought for a moment before ordering, “Now, tell me that you’re mine.”
“I’m yours,” Whumpee obeyed without hesitation.
“Perfect... let’s begin.”
