I woke up the next morning to the sound of the front door being ungraciously slammed. It's probably Dad on the way out to work. I rolled over and had a look at my clock, 8:30 damn that's a bit earlier than usual for a Saturday. I thought as I decided my best course of action was to get up. As I got dressed I remembered my wish from yesterday and was quickly excited by the idea of becoming my own hive mind. But who should my first uh victim? No that sounds to oppressing how about host? Not so sure about that one either, I can think of a naming convention later. Right now, I want some food. So I made my way downstairs and into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, my mother (Jane) was already at the breakfast bar, book in hand tea in the other. "Morning mum." I said as I entered the kitchen. I grabbed a bowl and a box of my favourite cereal and began to chow down.
"Morning Jon, have a pleasant sleep?" She said not shifting her gaze from the pages of the book. "Like a baby" I replied. "Glad to hear." She said, still unwavering from the book.
She eventually put her book down and took my empty bowl from the counter to the sink. As she started washing up I wondered if I should test out my new power and how should I go about this? Should I just waltz right up to her and throw up this mind control goo I now possess or could I try some other method
