Before Ken could decide, there is a knock on the door of Jeff’s room, before opening to reveal the head of Jeff’s 10-year-old brother Kyle peeking in, “Jeff? Did I just hear a dog bar…,” he starts before noticing Ken, “oh, hey Ken, what… EEEP! Why is Jeff naked and on all fours?!”
“Caspar” turns his head, but doesn’t recognize the boy who had entered the room, was this the friend of his owner? It had to be, who else could it be?
Ken grins, ‘perfect, another test subject,’ he thinks to himself, “oh, don’t mind him Kyle,” he then says, “all you need to do is to stop moving and talking and focus only on me”.
Kyle’s eyes widen when he finds himself going stiff, standing ramrod straight like a statue, staring directly at Ken, Kyle tries to ask what the hell is going on, but to his shock he is unable to open his mouth.
Ken grins wide, “good, now, I want you to listen closely, Kyle,” he says, “I have big plans for you! So, whenever I say “reset to start”, you will find yourself in exact this position, with your mind and body fully relaxed. You’ll then will find yourself able to talk and move again, but if I add something for you to keep or stay the same, that will not be affected by the reset,” Ken starts, “from now on, whenever I say your name, you will be forced to face me. You’ll also be unable to lie to me, meaning you will answer everything honestly and to the best of your knowledge. When I say “can you remember…” or “can you think of…” you will be forced to do that, as far as you can”.
Ken grins wide when he sees the horror on the 10-year-old’s face as his first command takes affect, oh this is just to much fun, he then continues, “now, whenever I snap my fingers in front of your eyes, you will forget whatever you were going to say and are unable to do so even if you can think of it. If I clap my hands while you look at me, you will forget whatever word or phrase you were going to say completely, as it never existed in your mind. If I stomp my feet while you look at me, you will forget whatever you were thinking about completely,” he says, before adding with a smirk, “we aren’t finished yet! If I ask you a question or to think or remember something and there is nothing in that place, when I answer the question myself afterwards you will think of that answer as the truth. And every command I made since the reset command isn´t affected by said reset, only the forgotten parts are”.
Kyle’s fear only increases, is… is this what happened to Jeff? Did… did Ken do something to his big brother? Must be! Jeff would never strip in front someone and Jeff isn’t acting as himself, more like some mutt! What the hell is Ken up to?
Ken grins evilly, “I am guessing you have realized why Jeff is acting so weird,” he says, “haha… yes, I am the reason he is acting like he is… and once I’m done with you, Kyle… hehe… you won’t be yourself either!”
Kyle feels tears form in his eyes, the 10-year-old terrified beyond his soul.
Ken grins, “alright, Kyle, you can talk again”.
Kyle lets out a gasp when he finds himself suddenly able to talk again, “pl-please Ken… d-don’t do this!”
Ken however just grins, “Kyle, can you remember what all my commands were since and including the reset trigger?”
Kyle looks at Ken, feeling his mind replaying every single event that took place since the first command, and how he felt about each and every one of them.
Suddenly Ken stomped his foot, erasing Kyle’s memory of every change he had made, when Ken stomps his foot, Kyle suddenly feels a soft wave of warmth spread through his mind, and he suddenly doesn’t remember why he had been so horrified. He’s simply standing in Jeff’s room talking with Ken and ignoring his brother acting weird.
Seeing Kyle’s facial expression relax causes Ken to smile, now the real fun can begin, “the “reset to start” trigger will put you into this mindset again instead of the old one”.
Kyle looks confused at Ken, not knowing the reset command, Ken is satisfied, Kyle, like Jeff, would never remember his first commands.
Ken smiles wide, “then let’s begin the real fun,” he says.
