If You Want, Part 1 (early release) (Patreon)

OK, so I had this funny idea and I decided to take a day's break from working on Harmony Reed. (Or has Harmony Reed taken a day's break from working on herself? HEYO) (That's a really lame joke on the plot twist) (If you don't get it it's me not you)

Anyway! I wrote the first part of what I think will be a two-part story. It's about a woman meeting a guy with the world's lamest superpower -- the power to make people do what they want to do. Dumb, right? I told myself that that was all his power would do, no cheating. He can try to be clever, but no outright tricks. (e.g. "Ugh, I have such a hangover, I wanna die" *dies* = no) I considered it an amusing little authorly challenge.

Forewarning: It's a real slow burn. If you're looking for a little hot sauce, you may want to wait until I do part 2 next week. Part 1 is mostly setup and a slow build; Part 2 is where I'll see how far we can abuse this silly little power I dreamed up. But I didn't have it in me to write another 6000 words just yet, so I figured why not do some installments, like in days of old. More to come!
