Gherkin Street

By Milton Montgomery:

Are you comfortable there Carol? Good. The couch can be a bit lumpy and it squeaks if you wriggle so best to just lie there, relax and we can get on with the session.

You are probably wondering why you are not wearing any clothes. I know it’s unusual but never fear. It’s just so that we can be totally open with each other. That is why I'm not wearing any either. Well, apart from this clipboard that I can place on my lap. I hope you don’t mind if I just say that are very good looking. I noticed that last session.

Oh, try and ignore the cameras. It may look like they are hooked up to the internet but I'm sure no-one is watching. Now.

Now, last week we explored your feelings towards your family, especially your aggression towards your mother. You did get very animated didn’t you? I'm very sorry you did not know she was my receptionist.

This week we are going to try something completely different. This time we are going to hypnotise you, unlike the way you and your beauty hypnotised me.

Just relax and listen to my voice. You are in a deep sleep. You are no longer afraid of wombats. I know you weren’t afraid of them before this session but I just like saying it.

Now before we get into fixing your other problem. Listen to me carefully. When you awake, you will find the first naked man you see very attractive. You will want to want to go to dinner with him this evening. Afterwards, you will want to make passionate love to him. You will have no inhibitions and will enjoy the abandon of his company.

Then, as he sleeps you will sneak out of his house, go across the road to that big white house and open the garage door. There you will see a beautiful BMW. You will scratch the words “I have premature ejaculation” all over the car. It is true after all.

Then, at the back of the garage you will find a door. It leads to a wine cellar. Please find two bottles of 1961 Chateau Lafitte. Bring them back across the road and place them in my cellar.

Then, I want you to wake me and make wild and crazy love to me one more time. Together we shall then sleep in each other’s arms until morning. When it is light, you shall don a see-through nightdress and walk seductively across the road to that same house.

There, you will knock on the door and confess all that you have done in the proceeding 24 hours to the man that opens the door. Do not worry if the man does not believe you. He is a psychiatrist too. Just a different type than me.

Oh, you may experience some feelings of remorse at what you have done when meeting him. We cannot stop that but rest assured that while in truth he is your husband, that will not stop the fact that you will be powerless to stop yourself from repeating your actions every day until you hear some specific command words from me. The command words will only work if I speak them to you. He must be accompanying you when the words are spoken for them to be effective.

Please make sure that you tell that man everything I have just told you. Now listen carefully Carol. Those command words that I shall speak will be:

“Thank you Jack for finally returning my frigging lawnmower. Now do you believe in hypnotism?”
