Chapter 18 by Ai-R Ai-R

What's next?

Disappointed ---> Eager

All this from the Prompt getting trigger happy. I glare at the 'Disappointed Pet' phrase. Everything started there. If only I could change it back to the way it was. I can't change 'Pet' again, but maybe if I focus on the first part? I wrack my brain, 'Eager' to put this idea to the test---

---and stare in abject disappointment of my own, as the Prompt reads my mind and takes it as an invitation.

The camera flickers, and Mom's now in my apartment on the carpet in front of the door. Her studded bracelets expand into full fingerless leather gloves while her arm-tights crawl almost all the way up her shoulders (but still clearly remain detached from her dress.) The heart-shaped ring on her collar becomes more distinctly 'heart' and less 'ring.'

Then Mom herself shifts. Her hair lengthens and runs down her back out of view, with traces visible just behind her. Her shoulders relax and loosen up as she leans forward a bit more and angles her torso, and another few years of maturity fade from her features as she gives the camera a wide, eager smile. She gives off the same energy as an excited puppy

Mom is really looking like she's just my type of girl, and I'm really starting to ha-- dislike it. She looks like she should barely be starting college, and has the same energy of a puppy, eager to play.

Don't get me wrong: I'm sure Mom makes for a wonderful pet but that's the thing-- she's my mom! I... I don't want a pet. I... want a mother. She's supposed to be my mother... right?

[AN: A different take on the retroactive changes starting to seep in. Here I'm going for a subtle kind of uncertainty, perhaps sligthly influenced by the Prompt itself in retaliation for Paul's hostility.]
