Driving home but...

April crossed the parking lot and got into her car. She was a little weirded out, but shook it off. She'd meant to tell that guy off, but for some reason couldn't. No big deal, she probably just realized he wasn't worth her time. She started driving back home. She'd left the radio on, and a commercial was loudly playing.

"So come on down to the nearest Burger Lane and get a fresh, juicy quarter pounder!"

April scoffed at the commercial. She'd never be caught dead eating junk fast food like that, she thought. Suddenly, she realized she was pulling off the freeway. Hey, what was going on? She didn't want to turn, why was she? She tried to move the wheel, but seemed to be driving on autopilot!

A short while later, April was parked at Burger Lane. She was just finishing a quarter pounder. She was trying to will herself to stop, her mind was screaming, but she was totally out of her own control! Then, as soon as she finished the burger, she suddenly was in charge of her body again.

April felt genuinely afraid now. First that guy had told her to move and she'd done it, even though she didn't want to. Then the radio said to come get a burger, and she'd done it against her will! It was almost as if she had to obey any command!
