A message from the author:

First, I really don't like calling myself an author. I'm not that good. I'm not Tom Clancy. But now you know that it's me who wants to tell you something.

Well, first of all, wow. I'm completely overwhelmed by the first reaction to this story that I put together in just two days. We've just hit 3007 views in just two days and I can hardly believe it. Participation in the poll was also much higher than I'm used to, with 86 votes in two days. Thank you so, so much for the overwhelming participation in this story!

And it was exciting. I had already prepared to write about Rose, then Michelle was just in the lead, only for Rose to catch up again and only in the last few hours did four votes for Michelle bring the change.

As you can see now, I have (sorry for not saying this before) thought up a kink for each of the characters. So the sisters are all designed and your vote in Chapter 3 will determine the further course of the story.

There will be more changes to the girls as the PS progresses. You will also be able to answer a poll for each girl.

This is my first story in this genre and I'm pretty nervous about writing it the way my readers tell me to. Anyone who knows my other stories knows that they read more like novels but it's also a big thrill not knowing exactly which girl I'm going to include next or where you want her to develop.

As far as the pacing of the story goes, I have literally no idea how to do that and the MCD doesn't have any instructions so that I, as the author, can make changes at the last second without throwing you out of the loop. I will use the mysterious stranger for that, the MCD is a phone after all.

So if you have any questions about this, I'll be happy to answer them, just as I'd be happy to accept your help in developing this story.

The MC has a part-time job and is still going to college, so there will be lots of other characters coming his way, just as I can expand the Lynchwood family even further. So if you want a kink or a modification and can't find it in the sisters, don't worry. Hope dies last.

So I hope you'll join me on this exciting journey and that I don't drive this thing into the wall as hard as I fear at the moment. But hey, writing with and for you is incredibly fun and I hope you like it as well.

Chapter 2

My finger hovers over the screen of the new cell phone (if you can call it that). I shouldn't click. I shouldn't... But I want to. I want to click on Rose's profile. She's lying next to me, the latest person who hurt me. But I don't. And I don't doubt it. Instead, I click on the yellow flashing field with the name of my loving, lovely mother who doesn't seem to have come up with the idea that two slices of pizza aren't enough for supper.

A profile opens up in front of me with... It's not just her name, I realize. The glow of the display illuminates the small area of ​​the small room I share with my sister and I read what's written there.

There's a lot of data about my mother. A lot of it is presented logically and clearly. Her age, for example, her name and...

"Fuck..." I gasp and bite my tongue when I hear Rose moving in the bed next to me.

A message flashes above everything I can read.

New path activated!

The text lights up prominently on the display. I'm supposed to click on it.

Michelle Lynchwood. 38. Adoptive Mother.

I click. Maybe it's desperation. Maybe disbelief.

Or maybe a little desire. But...

"Holy..."

"Can you please shut up!" Rose hisses, still angry. Again I ignore her.

Path: Michelle Lynchwood / Petplay "Are you my new owner?"

"Oh holy fucking shit no..."

As the subject progresses, it will take on more and more of the personality of a pet and become dependent on the user. Food, care and training will fall into the hands of the user.

Progress Score: -100

"What the fuck..."

I should have clicked on Rose. Or, fuck, maybe I shouldn't have clicked at all. What the hell is going on here? What is this? I stare at the display in disbelief, turn the phone around, but can't find anything that would explain this crazy shit. I close my mother's menu again and shake my head.

What was the guy thinking? Is this a joke? Another one making fun of good ol' Finn Lynchwood?

With gritted teeth, I click on Rose's profile. I must make sure this is all a scam!

Error! It lights up red on the display. Other profiles can only be unlocked after reaching certain milestones.

Oh fuck. Oh shit. I desperately search the display for further clues and finally find a gear symbol in the top corner and click on it.

Welcome to the Mind Control Device, MCD. Beta. V. 0.8.21.

Congratulations user (Finn Lynchwood), you are now the proud owner of the MCD (Mind Control Device) and are therefore able to change the nature of the people around you to your advantage. As a responsible user, you have of course first read and understood the instructions in the help menu before clicking on new profiles. (Clicking on the first profile releases the manufacturers of the MCD and the applications installed on it from all responsibility). Perhaps you still have questions after reading the instructions? Our FAQs are sure to help you.

"Shit..." But who reads the instructions? Cell phones are just damn shit! And... "It's real," I mutter in disbelief. "Isn't it?" But nobody answers me. I'm alone with a cell phone, a device, the Mind Control Device... that wants to turn my mother into... a pet?

A storm of emotions hits me and amidst all the chaos, I'm relieved to realize that it's worry that's driving me.

I try to calm my breathing. This is surely all just nonsense, right? I mean, mind control... controlling... changing people... nonsense... But the guy from before looked at me so strangely... And his letter... He knew how I felt. And there's no doubt about it. I grimace, but I can't help imagining my mom... Michelle - it's better to call her by her name than her title - crouched in front of me. It would feel good.

"No. Shut up, you idiot. Are you stupid or something?" But my words ring hollow, even to me, and the images don't disappear either.

I take refuge in the safety of assuming that this is all just a joke anyway and put the phone on the floor (I don't have a nightstand). Then I go to sleep.

FAQ: What do I do after I've chosen a path for someone?

I can't sleep and Rose would kill me to turn on the light so late to read. It's not my fault that I'm reading the app's FAQs. Just because I can't sleep.

Because I imagine Michelle crouching at my feet, looking up at me with those big eyes under her thick glasses... naked and...

Usually, a subject starts on a progress score of high negative numbers, as it's unlikely that the subject will agree to the path set by the MCD. It is now up to the user to increase the subject's progress score through the behavior specified by the MCD. It is not possible to decrease the progress score (PS). The journey only goes in one direction and ends at a PS of +100. Would you like to know more?

Better not, I decide and put the phone away again. It is already late and my mom would kill me if I overslept tomorrow.

Not even ten minutes later I hold the MCD in front of my face again.

"Good morning honey." Michelle greets Tammy warmly with a hug. For me and Rose it means getting up early so that Tammy and Jasmine have enough time to shower in the morning and so the unwanted children of the Lynchwood family look like they have been run over by a Russian recon tank while Tammy sits down at the kitchen table with her hair still wet.

Of course we wait for Jasmine before we start eating, no matter how hungry I am. But Tammy is there and is passing the time with her siblings.

"Finn, you look tired," she says with a devilish smile that indicates she's not asking out of goodwill. "What's wrong with you?"

"He was up all night and kept me awake," Rose stabs me in the back before I can answer. I'm just too tired... And too excited.

The new phone, the MCD, is really well designed for a joke and in the last few hours I've decided to at least give the device... a chance. I still don't believe in what it promises... But when Rose stabs me in the back again to get a kind word from her sister or mother and when Tammy shows her typical bratty behavior again, I realize that the promise of the MCD and the mysterious guy from yesterday doesn't sound... so bad.

But how should I continue now? From the FAQs, I learned that each subject is given a path and my mother got that of a pet. So far so... good? It certainly wouldn't be bad to see how she would be, as the app said, dependent on me, the user. Nice to see that I'm in control for once. But how do I start?

So before I realize that this is all a joke, I remind myself, but don't really believe it. There's something in the back of my mind that has been bothering me since I put my thumb on the device. The FAQs explained to me that the MCD is now imprinted on me, and I on the MCD. So I should now be able to push my mother further and further along her path. How? By treating her like a pet?

"Finn?"

Should I take a newspaper and hit her on the head when she does something wrong?

"Finn?"

She's still a human, an independent person. And her Progress Score is at -100. That means she's completely against the changes I want to implement on her. Wait... want to?

"Finn?"

That is, that I want to implement until it turns out that this is all just a joke. Again, it feels hollow to think that.

"Finn Lynchwood!" Something hits me in the face and I startle out of my thoughts. An apple. Tammy has thrown a damn apple at me.

"Hey!" I shout angrily and am about to throw the apple back, but my mother grabs my hand.

"Stop that!" she hisses at me. "Don't throw things at your sisters!" I look at her, perplexed. Didn't Tammy just... But this is my life and while my little sister looks at me triumphantly, I sink into my chair.

"Sorry Mom," I mumble and look down at my plate.

"Good morning family." This voice belongs to Jasmine, my oldest sister, the sweetheart of the family.

Freshly showered, warm, clean, well-rested and energetic, she strolls into the kitchen and sits down.

"Jasmin Honey, how did you sleep?" Mom asks and puts a plate in front of her. That is the signal for me and Rose to start eating as well while Tammy does the same. Then, like every morning, Michelle talks to her daughters but, unlike usual, I'm fine with that. Because I'm planning my next moves.

It doesn't work if I apologize to her. A pet is standing under me. So how am I supposed to do that?

---

I get my chance for a field test a few minutes later.

"Hey Mom? Mom?" It takes me two tries before she turns to me, annoyed that I'm interrupting her conversation with Jasmine. Rose looks at me in shock, a little worried why I'm waking up the sleeping tiger. Tammy, on the other hand, looks on expectantly, hoping for a massacre. I raise my toast with egg and bacon. "This really tastes fantastic," I say and grin broadly and stupidly.

"Well... thanks honey..." Even Michelle is confused by my behavior. And I doesn't notice any change.

"No Mom. It really tastes great. Thank you! I'm very proud of you." Michelle blinks. And I feel something in my head.

Michele Lynchwood: +2 (PS -98)

Oh wow... It worked! I even felt it! Not much, just a little but...

"Like I said, you're welcome." She blinks at me in incomprehension and turns back to her conversation with Jasmine. I, on the other hand, can hardly believe it. It works! I quickly look at my cell phone, no, the MCD, the fucking real mind control device! It's there too, under Michelle's profile. Progress Score -98.

Congratulations! You have taken the first step into a bigger world. Now your journey is really starting and when women beg you to make them happy with your cock, you will think back to this moment, to your first points, and you will smile.

And I do.

"Hey Mom!"

"Yes Honey?" Annoyed, she turns to me and widens her eyes. "Oh!" Then she catches the orange.

"Because you are such a great mother! I am proud of you!"

Michelle Lynchwood. +3 (PS -95)

"Well..."

"Eat the orange," I command with a grin.

"I'm not hungry," says my mother and puts the orange down. "And you shouldn't speak to me like that. A nicer tone would do you good." With that, she turns away from me, back to her daughter, who gives me a quick glance but then ignores me again.

"What was that about?" Rose asks me in a lowered voice, but I just shrug my shoulders.

"I'm just happy," I say and continue eating my breakfast. As much as I'm excited about the MCD, I'm very hungry and school starts soon. Then I have to work at my part-time job and then...

This is the first day that I'm looking forward to coming home.
