Money

Anna looked at Nate appraisingly, trying to think of the best punishment for him. Nate stood silently and waited for his punishment. He knew it was no use begging or pleading. He'd had those powers and he knew what they could do. Look at what Anna had already made him do. He had already been humiliated. No, he decided that the best course of action was to be quiet and give her what she wanted.

After a long silence, Anna spoke. "Okay. I've made my decision. I have decided how you will be punished." She paused for a moment to let those words sink in, then continued. "I told you to be back within thirty minutes and according to my phone, you took seventy-two minutes to complete that simple task, so, as punishment, you will pay me twenty dollars for every minute that you were late."

"But....but that's..." Nate stammered, rapidly doing the math in his head.

"Over eight-hundred dollars. Yes." Said Anna, quite casually, as if that amount of money was nothing. "That should teach you not to defy me. I want the money within twelve hours, and I want it in cash, no bank transfers or gift-cards or anything like that. And I want money I can spend; don't try and be clever and give me foreign currency or anything or I'll make things even worse for you."

"B...b...but. How am I supposed to get that kind of money in such a short amount of time?" Nate asked.

"I don't really care." Anna replied. "Take out your savings, sell your car, sell some sperm, whore yourself out. I really don't give a shit. Just get me the money. Oh, and add another hundred as a penalty for asking such a stupid question."

Nate just stood there, his mouth agape.
