It had gone dark again when Kathy emerged from the spiral. She felt stupid, for having taken so long to find the fifth secret message - and feeling stupid made her pussy throb with wetness and lust.
That was because of the fifth message itself. It was a compound message, like the last one, with lots of related ideas packed into its constantly-shifting words.
The key message was "I AM AN EMPTY HEAD AND A WET CUNT", and she typed that into her phone immediately after waking up. But it was mixed in with other thoughts. Firstly, it implied that she was stupid *because* her cunt was wet. It was sluttish behaviour that made her dumb. And feeling like she was stupid made her wet. And she liked being wet, so she liked feeling stupid. And she liked it when people *treated* her like she was stupid. Being demeaned made her pussy wet.
Part of her was alarmed. Part of her was screaming with panic in the back of her head. Was the spiral actually going to make her stupid? How would she escape from this if she couldn't even think properly? But there was a wall of static between her conscious mind and those alarming thoughts, and if she just relaxed her brain a bit, a spiral would appear too, and then she couldn't hear the worrying thoughts at all.
Her phone informed her that she'd won the final third of her boob job - and gave her an address and a time for the surgery. Monday - the day after tomorrow. So soon! She was supposed to be working - but she would just have to ask her boss for time off for a boob job. She didn't even *want* the boob job, but the app had already scheduled her an appointment, apparently, and she didn't know how to say no to it.
But even more intriguingly, the app now informed her of two further things.
The first was "AUDIO MODE UNLOCKED!". "You've progressed beyond the screen! Just leave your headphones on, and hear the spiral in your mind! Finding the secret message has never been easier!" And indeed, the sound playing in Kathy's ears felt different - more intense - and there were words hidden in it, words she could almost hear.
But the second message got her full attention immediately. "WANT TO ESCAPE THE SPIRAL?" it read. "TAP HERE."
She tapped on her phone screen immediately, and a message window appeared.
"Congratulations on finding half the secret messages!" it read. "At this point, you may be realising that you're a stupid little slut who only exists so men can fuck you. You're addicted to the spiral, and your cunt is wet and your head is empty."
Kathy moaned. It was true.
"But there is a way out! Keep seeking out the secret messages - and when you find the sixth message, you'll receive a special reward: directions on how to escape the spiral!"
Could it possibly be real? Was the spiral going to give her an escape hatch? Could she reverse the changes it was making to her mind?
She was about to dive straight back into the spiral, to find the sixth message and escape from the degrading trap she had found herself in - but suddenly a strong hand grabbed her hair, and pulled her away from her phone.
"Ah, you're back from your trance," said Mitch, holding her head firmly. He unzipped his pants, took out his cock, and forced Kathy's head down on it. Kathy obediently opened her mouth and accepted it.
"Our first guest will be here in a few moments," said Mitch. "Here's what you're going to do." And he proceeded to instruct Kathy in how to behave for the evening.
At first Kathy felt herself wanting to rebel against Mitch's demeaning instructions - but when Mitch paused for breath, she suddenly heard her own voice speaking in her ear, through the phone headphones.
"Men know best. I want to obey," it said - sounding exactly like Kathy herself. And then - "I am an empty head and a wet cunt."
