This is what she deserves

Dave watched Charlene panic for a moment, and decided this really was the fate she deserved for her narcissistic behavior. He focused on the bone again and took away Charlene's ability to act as anything but a senile ninety year old woman, while also increasing the aged appearance of her body to match. Charlene suddenly found herself slumping back in her chair, a spot of drool dribbling out of the corner of her mouth as all her protests were cut short. Dave gave himself a moment for a wicked smile, imagining Charlene trapped in her own mind with all her facilities and memories intact, but useless. After that mere moment though he focused his attention on Sean, changing his memories and duties to that of depressed caregiver. He now only remembered being an attractive gift offered up to an old woman by her remaining family while she still had some facilities left, but now his looks weren't even noticed as he was **** to feed, change, and clean up the doughty old woman throughout the long work day. For Marlise, he planted the memories of her serving as the real power in the office, forging signatures for a woman that some higher up had felt sorry for and never let go. That, however, was finally set to change as she remembered being granted her request at last to submit the paperwork to send Charlene off to a long retirement at the local old folks home, which would be covered by the company for her years of loyal service. Dave made sure to record this new history in the minds of the rest of the company, and laughed silently to himself as he watched Marlise walk off to begin filing the paperwork. The fact that Charlene's body only LOOKED like an old woman's, but was still in the prime of health, meant that she could look forward to being looked after for a long, long time.

As Dave followed Marlise out of the office, he could hear Sean moaning to himself about who could have possibly changed his charge out of her Depends protective garments, and he wasn't being paid enough to deal with this. Dave took pity at that, and gave Charlene back just enough control to keep from messing herself any worse until she reached the retirement home. He then gave Marlise a mental reminder about his severance check, along with a few stray thoughts that she was tired of working for her company and really would need to check in with Dave later about starting her own business.

As Dave left the building entirely, he felt a new sense of power rush over him from having such control over another person. The rush was so much that he had to honestly ask himself, could he stop? His cheeks felt flush with excitement as he returned to his car to drive back to Maggie's.
