Introduction
College student Grayson Nichols finds an unmarked package at his doorstep. Inside, a copper ornamental box contains a statue holding a small bowl. Instructions translate before his eyes and read:
Fill the bowl with sand and write a command.
The command must be legible.
Write as many commands in a day as you wish.
A person cannot be commanded more than once a day.
A person cannot be commanded for more than 137th of a day.
A person must be properly identified.
Now, Grayson suspects he's damned, but he intends to see how far he can bend the world to his will. Marcus Aurelius once said, "A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions." If that's true, Grayson may have the highest net worth on the planet.
Hampered only by an old injury at the hands of a bully, he fills the bowl with sand and starts writing.
Chapter 3
The door came open. A voice muttered, "I thought there was a class. Why's the door locked?" In stepped the janitor.
No matter how carefully you plan a situation, it can all come tumbling down when the unexpected turns up. Perhaps the law would see Professor Cuz as most culpable, but actions such as these do not go unpunished. A room of naked college girls being abused would make headlines, and the public would want blood. Everyone knew it. The guys looked at him worriedly. The girls called from their gags for the janitor to help them.
Oh, I fucked up. Yet here is where I can prove myself as a leader
.
The janitor leaned a mop against the wall and stepped forward. "What the hell is going on here?"
Grayson sighed, pulled himself from Malisa, zipped, and hobbled over to the janitor. "This looks bad, I'm sure. But colleges have introduced some radical elements to the curriculum."
"Do I look stupid?"
"Of course not. Before you go and spill the beans, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"What do you think of Professor Cruz?"
The janitor studied Cruz, who lay on her stomach bent over a desk. "The other day, I took the garbage bag out of the trashcan, and she threw her lunch into the can. I had to spray it out. She's kind of a bitch."
"What is your name?"
"Mike."
"Mike, don't take this as an insult. I sympathize. Life has insulted me for a good decade. I have a withered leg and chronic pain. But you are what, in your mid-forties? And you clean up after the privileged brats who don't even see you when you pass them. She doesn't see you either," Grayson pointed to Cruz. "What I'm doing here is just the start. Follow me, and when I mold a new reality, you will have a place in it. Look around this room. I did this with but a few words."
Mike took in the naked bodies. "This is crazy."
"Take Professor Cruz now. Do whatever you want with her. I give her to you as a gift. As your toy."
Mike licked his lips as he stared at her. He moved forward and bent down to steady everything visible from her compromised position. "Fuck this job. Maybe I get locked up after this, but Imma ruin that pussy."
Yes. Why didn't I already bring college staff on board? I need to move faster. Who knows when the demon will tire of my diddling? I've been procrastinating
