Make them do whatever you want!

I pick up my phone and sit there staring at my dads number. I really don't want to do this but it's really my last option. See a few months ago I lost my job and after that my life just kinda fell apart. My car got repoed, my girlfriend left me, and I'm about to be evicted from my apartment. So here I am sitting on the floor of my empty apartment, I have sold off nearly everything I had to at least give myself a little bit of money so I can take a bus to my dads place and be able to survive, at least for a little while.

I finally work up the balls and hit the button. It starts ringing and ringing and then there he is "Hello?"

"Hey Dad" you say trying to not sound to .

"Hey son, how goes it?" he asks

"Not so great, um so I need to ask you something and I don't want you to freak out on me" you say trying to set it up so he doesn't go off the deep end.

"Great! Now what? Money? You know I've helped you out so often this is starting to sound like a broken record." To late he's already started.

"No Dad, it's not money. I," I break off for a moment trying to think of how to ask him "I just need a place to stay for a little bit, I need to get back up on my feet. Do you think I can stay at your place? Just till I can find work again."

"Is it seriously that bad? That you gotta ask your dear old dad for a place to stay?" he says surprisingly sounding honestly concerned. "I mean the house is pretty crowded now a days but you sure?"

"Yeah, it's that bad. I've got nothing, car is gone, TV, Consoles furniture. Hell Nicole even left me. I've only got a bag full of clothes, some necessities, and my laptop. I'm getting kicked out of my apartment tomorrow. I'm at this point." As I tell this all to my dad, something chimes in the back of my head 'house is pretty full'? what the hell does he mean by that? He has a huge house, one of the things he kept in the divorce. Last I remember he lived there alone and half the time was off on business trips.

"I didn't realize you were that bad off, I mean I guess there is still room but you have got to get yourself back on your feet as soon as possible. I can't be putting you up forever, your a grown man and need to make your own way." there he goes again, the same old speech about how I have to make something of myself.

"Can you get yourself out here, you got enough for a plane ticket or should I..."

"I can swing a bus ticket dad" you cut him off "So is that a yes?"

"Yeah yeah you can stay at the house, just be nice. I'm away on business till next month but there should be food and such when you get there."

'Be nice'? what the hell "Thanks dad I'll call you when I get in" I'm seriously starting to wonder about this 'situation' but I'm still so whatever. "Hey, I really appreciate it."

"It'll work out kiddo, just don't waste anytime getting back on your feet. Hey, I gotta go meeting in like 5" He cuts out and hangs up. Yeah always busy, not surprised.

Well alright I've got a place at least for a bit. Time to get a ticket. I pull out my laptop and try to buy a ticket for tomorrow morning. Meanwhile I grab my "parting gift" from when they fired me, a bottle of vodka, who the hell does that? But hey, might as well live up my last night in the apartment. I take a swig and hit the 'purchase ticket' button.

"Error? what the fuck?" I read the screen 'tickets must be bought online 24 hours in advance' I take another big swig from the bottle. Great I'll have to buy it at the bus depot tomorrow morning.

"Well Fuck! Might as well 'live it up' till then" I take a long drink off the bottle and start surfing on the interwebs. I check the social media, my email, go through all the bullshit. Then after about 3 hours of drinking and surfing a notification pops up, new email.

At this point I'm pretty damn drunk I open the email.

"Imagine with just a simple motion you could have anything you want. Anytime, Anywhere, Anything, Anyone! All you need to do is this simple secret and the world could be yours. Imagine the money, the cars, the houses and the women! All for a low price but you must act now! click HERE to grab this one time deal."

Yeah, yeah more spam. But wouldn't hurt to check it out right? I mean I got literally nothing to loose at this point. Maybe I'm just drunk but what the hell. I click it. It's the typical pitch, have everything you want but you must act now. I take another swig, you know this seems like, if it's true, this could be pretty awesome. All I gotta do is touch my temple and zap I get whatever I want. All for the low low price of only $99.99. Yeah this is a crock of shit, even if it was possible why the hell would someone sell this.

But, what if it is true. I don't know if it was the booze or the desperation but I just had to know. I had a little over a grand in the bank I can afford it at the moment. I put in my info and hit the button. It took my to this thank you page all that was there was a link that said "Thank you, Just click here to receive your order" what the hell? seriously? well lets see what this shit is I guess. I take another swig off the half empty bottle and click the link.

BAM! and just like that I fell backwards onto my floor out like a light.
