Samantha

You are Samantha, and you were really getting tired of hearing your mom complain about your "Lack of work ethic".

You had just gotten home from school and she was already starting.

It was always the same thing with her, "You should be doing this" or "You need to be working towards a better life", but she didn't understand that you were already doing that. Your online earnings from MEME-COIN were slow but growing, and by the time you were out of high school this year you'd be rolling in money, but for some reason, your mom just couldn't understand your brilliance!

"You need to give up your silly online games and get a real job!"

And that was just over you soon to be business empire, she was also always nagging you over your weight.

"230 is not a healthy weight to be at."

As if she would know, you were still perfectly capable of doing anything anyone else could, and besides you still felt as fit as a horse! Plus like hell if you were going to go on a diet, food was way too good to ever even consider giving up.

She was probably just jealous that her own blond bomb-shell daughter had all the curves she could only dream of. Couldn't be anything else.

She at last let you go from her lecture and so you left in a huff to your room, passing your sisters in the living room on the way.

Lily and Amy, twins, both had the same attitude towards you as you did towards them, annoying but generally stayed out of each other ways. You wouldn't say you hated them or they you, but you never really hung out or anything either.

At last sanctuary, you throw your school junk to the floor and take a seat at your computer desk, booting the thing on waiting with bated breath. You were eager to see just how much your ten MEME-COINS were worth today, last you had checked they were at least worth almost a thousand dollars!

Quickly getting on the net you pull up the latest stock info on MEME-COINS and...

Your thousand dollar MEME-COINS were now worth three dollars at best due to a market crash.

You nearly screamed then and there, but you knew it would only summon your mother who would just tell you "I told you, now get a job and some exercise."

With slow, sluggish movements you walked to your bed and flopped down face first, groaning.

"I don't want to work, I don't want to have to do anything really."

You lamented to yourself miserable now that you scheme had failed, when suddenly-

"Well my dear, I think what I have to offer you will definitely be up your alley then."

Sitting up and turning around with more energy than you had for just about anything you were stunned to find a plump vision of pure beauty sitting in your desk chair smiling at you, nothing but silk cloths keeping her modesty, a sort of radiance coming from her. She sat patiently as you tried to say something, anything.

"..Who are you?"

The woman's smile turned into a grin.

"I go by many names, but for the sake of simplicity, you may call me the Goddess of Gluttony."

What?

"What?"

This elects a giggle from the Goddess as she stands and strides over to your bed. As she takes a seat right next to you a realization comes over you, you don't feel scared, even though you have many reasons to be, but you just feel calm and curious.

"And, as the Goddess of Gluttony, I wish to give you, who wish to live an easy life of leisure, a special gift."

She then proceeds to gently kiss your forehead, a warm and tingly feeling spread throughout her body from where her lips touched your skin.

"The gift of control. It's as simple as can be, anyone will do as you say without question or hesitation. I do believe someone with a personality as unique as yours will make good use of it."

With that done she stands again and gives you one last smile.

"I will be watching you dear, so be sure to have a lot of fun with that gift okay? Now farewell, enjoy your new life!"

And with no fanfare, she was gone, just like that. At first you just stayed seated where you were on your bed, but as the calmness that had gripped you slowly let go and logic and reasoning returned to you it felt like you were going to have a heart attack.

"What the fuck just happened?"

You hated to walk for no reason, but you had to pace as your mind raced.

"Am I just hallucinating from too much stress? Did that really happen? Did I fall asleep?"

You went to the bathroom down the hall and splashed some water on your face, finding that you felt as awake and aware as ever.

"It couldn't have been real, a Goddess of Gluttony just randomly giving me the power to control people..."

But as you looked at yourself in the mirror the idea wouldn't leave. As silly as it sounded it was very much appealing.

"If...if that was real, then I would never have to even so much as lift a finger again."

You stood in the bathroom for a bit longer lost in contemplation when you decided what to do.

"I need to test it."

It would be simple, make an offhanded comment and see if they ignored it or actually did it. Simple.

"Just gotta figure out who."
