Assign your mother's identity to something/one

    by: Dc122 Author IconMail Icon
Unbelievable...that crazy remote actually worked...! At least, the first part of what it said it could do was accurate--if you had it right, you were now holding the contained essence of your mother's identity, everything that made her who she was.

Curiosity won out again; if you proved the device's first function worked, you had to prove the others did, too. Your eyes lingered over the button below Absorb--"Assign." You hadn't read the instructions too thoroughly, but you could hazard a guess as to what that did--as weird as it was to think about. What would it mean to apply your mother's role to someone else, something else?

...Actually, could you even assign it to something else, like an object? How would that work?

Your gaze drifted around the room, identifying potential interesting targets for your experiment even as you weighed what it meant to be playing with your mom's life like this. The fridge, a chair, your sister...the sounds of the neighborhood waking up outside reminded you of other potential targets outside. And then there was you...what would happen if you assigned your mother's identity to yourself?

Raising the IAMU up once more, you pointed it at...

You have the following choices:

1. Your sister

2. An inanimate object

*Pen*
3. Someone outside

4. Yourself

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
