This not a comic book story. This is about the making of a comic book story. I hope you enjoy it.
The first two chapters are mostly setup for the latter fun. If you really only like the action, move on to chapter 3. I try to give a quick synopsis of what has happened at the beginning of each chapter.
It started out innocently enough.
Dad had left us about three years ago and Mom had her hands full dealing with me. Mom's younger sister Aunt Tammy moved in with us with the excuse of helping to defray the cost of the house payments. I think she really moved in was to help Mom not go over the edge.
She was one of the only benefits to Dad leaving. She was a hot ticket. She had lived with us when I was a little kid before she had gotten married. The marriage hadn't lasted long though she did not seem to mind. She had many boyfriends but no steady. She liked being foot loose.
Even though Dad's alimony paid for most of our bills, Mom decided to go back to work. I think she couldn't handle the quiet times at the house. She called the law office she used to work at when she had first met Dad. The owner remembered her fondly and back to work she went.
That left only one loose end, me. With summer coming she needed to find something to occupy me. How about more school? One of her coworkers told her how allot of the community colleges offered courses to the public in the summer. She had had her kid enrolled in about four courses. It sounded good to Mom. I wish she had asked me.
At least she let me pick the courses. Believe me it wasn't any Math, History, or English courses. I had enough of the standard courses in regular school.
Over the next few summers I took several computer and photography courses as well as a few shop classes. I had taken apart and upgraded are home computer, shot photos for Grandma Jennings's 50th birthday party, and managed to fix the dent in the car from my Driver's Ed experience. For a single mom, I came in quite handy.
I also took a few psychology classes, just enough to be dangerous. The psyche classes did help me understand some of my own anger and rejection from the divorce as well as Mom's depression.
The divorce had been hard on Mom. She is a good-looking lady but after the divorce, she started letting her looks go. She gained a good 50lbs and dressed like an old frumpy woman. Her weight only seemed to add to her depression.
One of my psychology classes got into hypnosis. What teenage boy would want to learn more about hypnosis? I was sure one. I ate it all up and did some research on my own. Getting someone to let me practice on was my only draw back.
So when Mom grumbled to me about her weight problem, I thought I had a way to help both of us out. I get to practice on her, and then there would be a world of women open to me. She would get to loose some weight.
"Mom..." I started hesitantly. "One of my Psyche classes had a section on using hypnosis to break deep seated habits. They had some fairly good results." I hoped I wasn't blushing with guilt.
"I am not sure I am comfortable with that?" Mom replied. "What if you make me increase your allowance or something," she joked.
"You can't make people do things they would object to," If it will make you more relaxed, have Aunt Tammy sit in," I offered looking across the table at my aunt.
"Come on Sofia, loosen up," chimed in Tammy. "You need to relax a little."
"OK," Mom caved in to the both of us.
Friday, that week, we began the hypnosis sessions. Tammy had brought out three glasses of wine to help with the relaxation.
"Tammy," she frowned realizing she had brought one glass out for me.
"Loosed up Sis," she told Mom. "It's not like we are getting him sloshed. You need to loosen the rains on Jeffrey or you will drive him away."
Bad choice of words. Mom was still feeling like she had drove Dad away and it scared her to think she might loose me.
"Lets relax a little first," I encouraged. "We can talk about old times.
The ladies reminisced about watching me grow up. They managed to filter Dad out of all the stories, concentrating on times the three of us had shared.
At one point, with laughter in her eyes, Tammy asked, "Remember Jumping Jeffrey and his two side kicks Super Sofia and Terrific Tammy?"
I had forgotten all about that. Mom and Aunt Tammy used to play super heroes with me when I was a little boy. Mom had even made us costumes.
It seemed to help Mom to reminisce, that and the second glass of wine. I stopped her with half a glass left.
"It is good to relax but I still need you to be able to concentrate," I explained. "Now take a few deep breaths. As you let it out slowly, think of it as if all your tension is leaving with it."
I used a shinny pendant I borrowed from Aunt Tammy and had her watch it as I did a classical induction. I had had her focus on the pendant telling her to relax, that her eyelids were getting heavy. Then count backward from 50, 'eyelids are getting heavier'. Finally with a snap of my fingers, she was under.
Then I proceeded to deepen the trance. "You are at the tenth floor approaching an elevator. You enter the elevator and push the down button. At each floor, you will release tensions and fears and become more relaxed and go deeper and deeper into the trance. You will reach realize you reach the floor when I make the sound 'ding'. The door will open and the fear or tension named will exit. You will say the floor you are on. By speaking the floor number, you acknowledge and agree to what has been said. You approach the 9th floor, any remaining tension leaves. Ding."
"Nine," I hear two voices speak. Startled, I glance over at Aunt Tammy. Her eyes are closed and a peaceful look is on her face. I had forgotten she was even in there. She must have gone under with Mom. I debate on awakening her but decide to let it go for now.
"You proceed to the 8th floor, all your worries and care of the day leave. Ding."
"Eight," comes first Tammy and then Mom.
"Still you go deeper. You approach the 7th floor; all your financial concerns leave. You are more and more relaxed. Hearing only my voice. Concentrate on my voice. Ding."
"Seven," comes Aunt Tammy's and then Mom's voice. Their voices become softer with each floor.
"You are nearing the 6th floor. All concerns of your future leave. All concerns of other people's future leaves. Now you can hear my voice but it is as if it is your own thoughts. Listen and obey. It feels so good to be able to cast aside your cares and worries. The deeper you go the better it feels. Your fears of hypnosis get out. As the door opens, fear leaves. Ding."
"Sixth."
"Down you go leaving behind all your old baggage. All your doubts and disbeliefs forms up as baggage before you. As the elevator prepares to stop, they approach the door. Push doubt out the door. Now push disbelief out the door. Ding."
"Five."
"The elevator slows as it approaches the 4th floor. All your past hurts and past failures must leave. The door opens and hurt steps out. Ding."
"Four." A peaceful look comes over Mom's face. Both women seemed to have lost five years.
"You are approaching the 3rd floor, you will to resist leaves. You are open to the commands you hear. There is no more resistance, as the door opens your will leaves. Ding."
"Three," comes out as barely as whisper.
"Deeper and deeper you go. The deeper you get the less you can resist. All your all preconceived ideas and judgment approaches the door. All your ideas of right and wrong approach the door. As the door opens, judgment leaves. Ding."
"Two."
"Each of your muscles relaxes, yet you remain seated. You can picture a guard next to you. He is the guard over your subconscious. As you elevator stops and the doors open, the guard exits. Ding."
"One."
"But the elevator keeps going. Without the guard we enter your subconscious. The deepest part of you and still we descend. Deeper and deeper. Finally we feel it slow, as it can go no deeper. As the door opens, we step into your subconscious to floor 0 and you completely surrender. Ding."
"Zero," I see Mom's mouth move even if I don't hear a sound.
"When you hear Jeffrey say 'Count Down to Zero', you will begin a slow count to ten, returning this same journey to you reach floor Zero. Each time you find the elevator makes it deeper as you surrender your will."
That was a lot farther than I thought I could have gone. I had a need to be careful. I wasn't sure I could make them forget. So far I could have explain it all away to my need to set a foundation for Mom to believe and loose weight.
"You love the feeling of being here. It is so comfortable and relaxing. It feels so secure. You want to come back here periodically, like once a week. It is better than alcohol. It is better than sex. It is so refreshing."
"If during one of these sessions, I tell you something or something happens that your conscious is not comfortable with, you will not remember it upon awakening. Some times I may need to tell your subconscious something that your conscious should not know. If I use the trigger 'black ops' while you are under, your subconscious will remember it but your conscious won't unless I tell you otherwise. The phrase 'white ops' will bring you to a state you will remember upon awakening. Not matter how much you remember or don't not remember, your time under hypnosis will always be relaxing and refreshing."
Having succeeded, the next few weeks I proceeded to give Mom instructions for loosing weight.
My first try was to have her envision eating spinach, something she detested, whenever she ate sweets. This worked for about a week. Then she started learning to love eating spinach. At least it was good for her.
Then I had her watch an episode on liposuction. Then I had her imagining she was eating the fat sucked from other people's bodies when she ate sweets. This worked; only it worked to good. She lost her complete appetite. This was a scary time as it took a week of hypnosis to get her to start eating again. She didn't let me hypnotize her for a whole month after this.
But she was hooked on hypnosis. Both her and Aunt Tammy loved how it felt. Since Tammy did not realize she was being hypnotized, she only knew that she felt good when Mom was. I think she was the one to convince Mom to allow me to hypnotize her again. After getting assurance from me I wouldn't try that method again, she let me put her under again.
I upped the hypnosis sessions to once a day for the next week getting her to trust me and forget the mistake I had made. While I rebuilt her trust, I learned a little more about Mom and Tammy. I thought if I could find some way to help her overcome her depression it might be easier for her to loose the weight.
It seemed that when Dad left, she got depressed and had gained all this weight. Now that she was getting over Dad, she was depressed because of her weight. This depressed her more and she gained even more weight. She did not want to find another man until after I moved out of the house but she did want to feel attractive.
On top of this depression was her recent fear that she would loose me like she lost Dad. She agreed with Aunt Tammy that she needed to loosen up, but she did not know how. She envied her sister's ability to wear more brazen clothes even as she criticized her for it.
Meanwhile Tammy was envious of her sister having a son. She wished she had a child she could have a relationship with.
Before I started working on Mom's weight again, I decided to do a little research on the subject.
Mom was an auburn red haired, green eyed, 5'-9" woman with what I would call a medium frame. If I had gone by her large chest, "DD" I found out under hypnosis, I would have called her large frame but she assure me her doctor had said she had a medium frame. By the charts I found, a healthy weight is around 139 to 153 lbs. I actually don't think women look good as skin and bones so I thought a weight of 148 lb. would be good for Mom. I found that she should be eating around 1940 calories. One site recommended decreasing this by 500 calories until you reach you correct weight.
I figured Aunt Tammy could use a little help. She was a brown haired, blue eyed, 5'-7" woman. She had a similar build to Mom, big chested, curvy hips and long legs. The charts had her ideal weight between 133 to 147 lb.. Again I tended to like women to look like women and thought 142 lb. sounded like a good target.
So with Mom's knowledge and without Tammy's I set their ideal weights in their mind. I also had them memorize a calorie chart. I was amazed at how quick they were able to do this under hypnosis. Then I had them consciously forget they had memorized it.
"Until you are at or under your ideal weight, the closer you are to 1440 calorie per day intake, the less you will crave food. The more you go over 1440 calorie per day intake, the fuller you will feel."
Once they reached their ideal weight, I figured knew we would have to adjust the calorie intake to at least 1940 calories per day.
I also added a 'suggestion' that they would like to join a dance and aerobic class to exercise. I had added the together part for two reasons. First, people tended to stick to exercise classes if they had someone to go with. Second, if they went together, it would give me time to myself at home.
"The closer to your ideal weight you get, the more healthy you will feel, the more beautiful you will fell, and the more sexy you will feel. You will feel uplifted to have reached your goal."
And so they did. It did not take them but a few months to get to their goals. They were in excellent shape. Both their countenances change but And Mom's was the most drastic. She started buying tighter fitting clothes. I swear she wiggled her ass more and stuck out her chest more.
Damn, she had transformed into a sexy little woman. I could see what my Dad must have saw when he first met her.
Meanwhile I had stepped out a little in my 'suggestions'. I started using what I call the 'Ultra-Logic Loop'.
I first laid down the rules of an 'Ultra-Logic Loop'.
"Have you ever heard the classic example of a logic loop," I asked the women.
Both nodded vaguely.
"In a logic loop, two knowns allow you to figure out a third unknown. As an example, if you knew that everyone in the town of Lancaster was a fisherman and Tom lived in Lancaster. We can then rearrange the facts to find out what Tom does for a living. Since Tom lives in Lancaster and everyone in Lancaster is a fisherman. You can then deduct that Tom was a fisherman."
"In my Ultra-logic loop, I will give you two or more parts of a logic loop, part of the part of the logic loop answer. You are expected to figure out the final answer on your own." I remember when I was younger, if I did not want to go somewhere then I wasn't going to have fun when I got there. Mom learned to convince me it was my idea to go and then it was a good time by all. This was my theory with the logic loops. If they could come the conclusion by themselves, then it would be easier for them to believe. Of course I had to make sure they reached the right conclusion. "Remember, logic helps us understand things that we did not understand before. Things we might not have agreed with in the past, we can agree with after understanding the logic. Like a child who thinks that candy is good for them but as an adult they learn that vegetables are better for them." burn
"Here is an example of how a logic loop works. Men once thought the earth was flat. Then some men noticed the curvature of the horizon and some decided to sail around the world. Logic dictates that if a person could sail around the world and you can only circle a round object therefore the earth had to be a sphere. This was a hard though process for people to accept. They had to work it through in their minds and subconscious until they could understand it."
"Similarly, if I give you a logic loop that you do not understand, you will mull it over in your subconscious until you do. Each time you go through the loop, it will make more sense until you completely agree with it."
"Since sometimes our conscious actually hinders us from seeing things because of our preconceptions, it is better for our subconscious to work them out. Now Ultra-Logic Loops are not something you will consciously remember upon awakening. It is something for your unconscious to come to an understanding of. It is better not think to hard on the facts or find fault in them. Accept the facts as truth."
"Now remember, I will start the 'Ultra-Logic Loop' by giving you two or three facts connected by 'and'. Then I will give you first part of the logical deduction. I do not want your mind to start working out the riddle until you are asleep in bed. Then I want your subconscious to keep going over it. Each time you think about it in your head, it will become easier to accept. Keep review it in your subconscious until you can accept the logical conclusion. Then let it will become part of your conscious thinking."
I started with something somewhat safe. If they figured it out, I might get in some trouble but they wouldn't get to mad. "Now I have an 'Ultra Logic Loop' for both of you. Given professionals are paid for their services and Hypnosis is a part of the psychological profession therefore when Jeffrey hypnotizes you he should get what?"
"After solving that loop, go this 'Ultra Logic Loop'. Since Jeffrey is family and family gives discounts therefore Jeffrey should give you a what?" Again, I did not want to be too greedy and was being cautious.
"After accepting those two loops, solve this 'Ultra Logic Loop'. Since psychologist are charge $100/hr and Jeffrey gives you a discount a 80% family discounts therefore Jeffrey should get what for each hypnotic session?"
"The last 'Ultra Logic Loop' for this session. Since Tammy gets a mutual benefit out of being here and since people should pay share the expenses therefore
Tammy and Mom should pay what?"
I figured I could probably have just persuaded them to pay me but I wanted a test for using the loops. Ending the session with my normal precautions, I waited on the results.
I should not have been surprised when they both approached me the next day and wanted to each pay me $10 for my time.
"Is that enough?" Aunt Tammy asked.
"I would do it for free," I assured her," But this is good."
That night we were sitting together in the living room and watching TV. "Bay Watch" came on and Mom got up and changed the channel. After finding nothing she thought was appropriate, she turned off the TV.
"What would you like to do as a family," she asked.
"Most of the games we have are for bigger groups," I told her. "We could do some cards. Maybe rummy?" I suggested.
I know, it sounded lame to me also but Mom wants us to have more 'family' time. I could think of more entertaining things. Too bad she was such a prude.
That decided it. I would use the trigger I had given them when I first hypnotized them. I had never really tested it before but had strengthened it during each session. I hoped it would work.
"Count down zero," I mumbled. Instantly their eyes glazed over as they sat still as statues.
It worked!
I wanted to see if I could get Mom to not be so uptight about scantily clad women. I figured if she didn't think it was bad then she wouldn't mind me looking at them. Of course the change of Mom and Aunt Tammy from frumpy middle age women into a well-toned sexy ladies had nothing to do with my next commands. Really. Well maybe I lie occasionally.
"Why are so many women magazines have pictures of women in them?" I asked them innocently.
"To see what other women are wearing," answered Mom.
"To see what styles are in," Aunt Tammy added.
"Have you ever looked at a women in one of these magazines and thought how good she looked?"
"Yes," they both answered.
"So it is normal for women to check out other women?"
"I guess so," came Tammy's reply.
"Sometimes," continued Mom.
"Time for an 'Ultra Logic Loop'," I told them. "Remember, try not to solve them now. It is for your unconscious to work on during the day."
Both consented.
"Now I am going to give you several logic loops. When your subconscious works on them, solve them in the order I give them. Don't proceed to the next one until you solve all the previous ones. Say yes if you understand."
"Yes," they agreed.
I popped open my phone and pulled up a draft of several loops I had written out ahead of time.
"Her we go," I told them. "'Ultra Logic Loop' 1; Women like to be noticed by men and men notice women to dress sexily and you are a women. Therefore you should dress how?"
"'Ultra Logic Loop' 2; It is easier to dress how you like and you want to dress so men notice you therefore you should like to dress how?"
"'Ultra Logic Loop' 3; You like to dress sexy and men like to watch sexily dressed women and sexily dressed women like men to watch them therefore when you dress sexily you should like men to what?"
"'Ultra Logic Loop' 4; It is easier to let someone do something if you enjoy what they do and you like men to look at you therefore you should feel how when men look at you?"
"'Ultra Logic Loop' 5; Women are always checking out how other women dress and look and it is normal that they notice when a woman is sexy and you are a woman therefore it is normal when you notice what?"
"Now I need to talk with Aunt Tammy. Sofia, you will stay in a hypnotic state. You will hear but not comprehend what I am saying until you hear me say your name again, starting now."
"Aunt Tammy, don't you think Aunts and their nephews have a special relationship?" I continue after she nods, "Sometimes they conspire to against the nephews parents to help the parents loosen up a little." A smile forms on her face.
"You like to help Sofia to be a little less rigid," I continued. "It is something you want to do for your nephew. It will make you both closer. You need to be the leader in this for your sister."
"Here is an 'Ultra Logic Loop' just for you Tammy. The best way to lead is by exaggerated example and you want Sofia to loosen up therefore in order to help Sofia to loosen up in her dress code, you need to dress how?"
"Sofia," I called out Mom's name. It was time to wrap things up.
I had them repeat all the 'Ultra Logic Loops' I had given them. It took a several tries until they could repeat them correctly.
I closed with my normal precautions and then told them not to remember even being hypnotized tonight. I set up a scenario that they would think the clock read an hour earlier than it was until they went to bed. I sure hoped they didn't recall this session.
"How dare you?" asked Mom when she awoke.
Fuck, what could I say? I was thinking of how to defend what I had done when I noticed Mom was not really angry.
"How dare I what?" I asked tentatively.
"How dare you suggest Rummy," Mom retorted with a smile on her face. "You know you always beat us at that."
Rummy? Shit she had picked up right where we had left off before going under hypnosis. I hope she did figure out why I was blushing so red.
We ended up playing Rummy that night. It was interesting the way the conversation changed as the night progressed. Mom brought up how one young actress dressed son inappropriate. Tammy countered that she hadn't thought the outfit was that revealing. Then after a few minutes, Mom said maybe it wasn't as bad as she first thought. "Probably just wanted some guy to notice her," Mom commented.
Tammy grabbed the opportunity to comment on Mom's drab wardrobe. This usually ended up in an argument, but tonight, Mom actually seemed to agree with her. They set a time to go shopping together latter in the week.
I reached 500 first but I didn't consider it my biggest victory of the night.
As the week wore on, I watched the ladies of the house slowly jazz up their wardrobe. Mom's slacks got tighter, then switched to skirts and dresses. Not outrageous, but certainly a step up from she had worn before. The more flesh I saw, the more my hunger for more flesh became.
Aunt Tammy's outfits didn't necessarily change, except now she wore her minis all the time. I loved her knee high boots.
Still all this was going to slow for me. That's when the idea hit me.
