The Puppet ~ 200 words crossposted to omni_phase
The Puppet - Choose one person, whether famous, a friend, an enemy, loved one...anyone you want. For one day, that person is your puppet, and they will dress, act, behave, speak and do however you want. What would you do? After 24 hours, they will go back to their regular selves, with no recollection of their time under your control, and NO consequences. Feel free to do anything you want.
Anteros; I would have him feel free, unfettered of all disparaging worries as to how much he is adored. I would have him walk the halls of mother’s temple with me sure in the knowledge that I will always want him in my life. We would play and laugh as we did before my marriage to Psyche.
Yes, I said play. Even as grownups, to a degree, we have that ability to occupy ourselves with youthful folly. As we do this, I would constantly praise and assure him that all will be well and that I will not forget him as we play tag in the halls, smacking bottoms of passers by to their amusement, shock or dismay. The fallback on that not deterring us, we would carry on, maybe heading outside for target practice on random mortals.
I would have his heart light and merry with no agony or doubt as to who loves him. Would that I could do that and it be permanent would probably be too much too ask for but even after the twenty-four hours are up, I would still keep my end of the bargain. If he hears my words well, that will be up to him.
