I cant say I knew my dad or that I really remember what he even looked like. See my dad was a traveling entertainer who just never came home. Mom said she still loved him but they got along better if they didn't talk to each other. I know it made me scratch my head too trying to make sense of it as well.
The last time I remember anytime of my dad he was buying me an ice cream cone and to be honest I'm not really sure that was my dad.
My mom got contacted by a lawyer saying that dad had passed away and that it was his wishes that there was no service and that he just be put in the ground. He also informed mom that his will was to be read on the first Monday after his death and it would be read in their law office in Las Vegas in 4 days time.
Well my mom cant travel due to her health but wanted me to be there for the reading of the will for as she put it "out of respect of his memory."
I wasn't too pissed at going to Vegas but I hoped the reading wouldn't take very long so I could see part of the city.
I flew in on the morning of the reading and got to the law office a hour early and the lawyer said he may as well read it as I was the only one coming to the reading. After all the legal crap he informed me that there was one small box, a small book and a little over five grand left over after his interment.
Once the lawyer give me what dad had to give us in his will he started going on about how sorry he was for our loss and I stopped him by saying that I don't even remember my dad at all. I thanked him for his service to our family and got my ass out of there.
His office had been just off the Vegas strip so I walked down the strip playing a few slots but couldn't get into it. So I found a small coffee shop and opened the box finding what looked like a piece of cheap cut glass on a thin cord. I just about threw it away right there but decided to check the book out first.
I started reading the book and it said things I had no clue about. It turned out I knew my dad by his stage name as a somewhat famous hypnotist who traveled the world putting on shows. He also said that the orb as he called it was for me to have and use. He went on to say that once I learned how to use it that I could have just about anything I wanted in this world. I thought it was a bunch of bull shit.
I put the book and the orb in my pocket and got a taxi to the airport.
As I waited for my flight I thought it sure wasn't much to show for his 70 plus years on this earth but the five grand would help mom out for a few months anyway.
I got on the plane and this very good looking young lady sat down next to me and I smiled to myself thinking maybe she will be friendly, then I noticed the wedding rings and I thought so much for that.
After we took off I took the orb out of my pocket holding it to the light coming in the window next to me when the woman next to me said "That's beautiful, but it makes me feel funny to look at it. Its like its taking control and its making me sleepy."
I looked at her and her eyes were glued to the orb and her eyes looked to be getting very heavy so I said "You should sleep."
No sooner than the words were out of my mouth and she was a sleep beside me. I thought oh ya, what is this, some kind of joke. I thought find I will play along and said "Can you hear my voice?"
She said she could and I went on by saying "I want you to follow my instructions I give you, but you will think these are your ideas. Do you understand what I I'm telling you?"
She said she understood so I went on to say to her that she was finding it warm and that if she unbuttoned 3 of the top buttons on her blouse she would find it a whole lot more comfortable. I was shocked when she undid the buttons giving me a great view of her white lacy bra.
I thought fuck this is great and she is a good sport to go along with this. I decided to ask her a few questions about herself so I said "I I'm going to ask you a few questions and you will answer them truthfully and to the best of your knowledge, do you understand what I just told you?"
