Take a shower, and go outside for some needed fresh air!

"Phwaaaah- God damn, I needed that badly." You breathed out all the negative energy inside you in a relaxed manner, wiping your hair dry as you got out of the showers.

You decided that it would be best to spend your free time going outside to someplace more calm, so that you could have an easier time figuring out what was happening to you. Got the whole morning and afternoon for yourself before you have to start your new dream job.

With that, you donned your casual clothing and went outside into the city.

Stepping out, you find yourself feeling quite comfortable under the morning sun. Thus, you began your outdoor walk.

As you journeyed your way around the city life, your mind wandered back to the events that happened to you just this morning.

So... First things first, getting rid of the most obvious elephant in the room- Mind control powers. You have the power to control other people, without them knowing or acknowledging it. You've proven this as a fact when you manipulated Alice into sexually pleasuring you with her breasts, and used the power again to make her immune to its effects from here on out. So far, the only thing that has given you a clue about how you even got this power in the first place, is from an alcoholic-induced dream about Morpheus.

What the fuck.

"How the hell is any of this even possible? And why was it happening to me?"

You don't understand why you were given such an overwhelming power. In your honest opinion, you weren't exactly anyone special, nor anyone noteworthy enough that could grab the attention of some otherworldly entity, to make them think that you deserve such a power.

Not to mention the sudden growth spurt that your little "John" had when you weren't looking. Is this somehow related to your new powers? If so, why the hell was it be bundled together for you?

Okay, let's go use movie logic here to discern the reason why and how you were able to obtain something that could only be conceived within the realms of science fiction and fantasy. And also pornography.

Were you the chosen one in some ancient prophecy?

You do remember eating a fortune cookie after last month's Chinese takeout. You were sure it said someone along the lines of "Among the lucky, you are the chosen one."

Hm...

But nah. That could have easily been a coincidence, so you looked for other possible answers.

Did you save a fairy/leprechaun/genie/wizard/etc. from certain ****, and they rewarded you with godlike mind control powers?

Hm... Well, you did meet someone a week ago at a bus stop that eerily looked like Santa Claus. When you both had gotten on the bus, you saw that he apparently forgot his wallet at home and didn't have enough to pay for the bus fare.

Feeling bad for the jolly-lookalike, you went ahead and payed for him with your own money. Besides, it was just five bucks anyway, you weren't losing anything from helping the guy out.

He really appreciated your action, saying that if you hadn't helped, he could have possibly been late for an important meeting that could have costed his job.

Maybe that guy actually was Santa?

...

Nah. That's stupid.

Maybe you were given this power, not because you were special, but precisely because that you weren't special at all? Maybe whoever gave you this power just wanted to do it as a joke to see what you would do, so they chose someone completely at random or picked you out simply because you were just an Average John in the world.

If that's the case, then whoever gave you this power was a goddamn prick!

Could you imagine what would happen if someone else had been given this power instead of you?! There would be some fucking creep out there in there in the world, right now, acting out on his fantasies and doing crazy shit, like have an orgy in a shoe store or convincing someone's mother that he was their long lost son and try to drink from their lactating-

You shake your head, clearing your mind from these crazy thoughts.

I really need to stop reading those erotic stories on that website. They're gonna corrupt me one day, seriously.

Meta-humor aside, the thought of it really pissed you off! Is that what they wanted to see? They just wanted to see you if you would use these powers to turn the entire world into your own cosmic-sized fleshlight?!

"Morpheus, I swear to god, if you're out there watching me through the matrix computer screen to fulfill some sort of porn fantasy you can jack off too, I'm gonna crawl my way outta here and shove that neural brain-jack wire thing up your ass!" You growled, pointing to the sky in a menacing fashion.

No response.

AAGH, you weren't any closer on figuring out the reason why you had this power! It's seriously starting to get annoying!

Why do I have this power? Why was I was given this power? And what the hell am I suppose to do with it?

"HELP!"

The sudden scream came out of nowhere, interrupting your thoughts and bringing you back to reality.

"What was that?" You looked around to find the source of the scream. But you where the only person in the area. No one else was around.

In fact, you realized that after getting so lost in thought while walking around, you've managed to accidentally stumbled into the poorer parts of the city! Abandoned buildings with broken windows were here and there, graffiti art of gang signs sprayed on the walls, and the sidewalk was littered with random trash.

Well.

Shit.

"HELP ME, SOMEBODY PLEASE! HEEELP!"

There it is again! That sounded like a voice of a woman. It was coming from around the corner of this shady looking alleyway!

Without giving much thought about your actions, you immedietally sprinted towards the direction of the screams, practically hurling yourself towards unknown danger simply for the wellbeing of a stranger.

Turning the corner, you looked in to find...
