Glamour
The languid inflections of her smoky tones left no doubt - this woman was dangerous.
“I have been born to master you, rein you to the yoke, break you to service. My tools are not the whip, or the rod, or even reward. To be pretty for you, I have dropped two seeds of turnsole in the dark of both eyes.” She blinked those bewitching eyes in erotic lassitude. “I will win you with promise, slowly binding your intent to my will, so that my direction becomes your own.”
“You will want me, you will follow me, you will be attracted.”
Her name was Glamour.

This is absolutely FANTASTIC! I was instantly lured in by the opening lines and felt that this was indeed an unforgettable character sketch. Thank you so much for writing to the prompt, Christopher ❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteThis is sci-fi noir wrapped around a metaphor. So clever.
ReplyDeleteGlamour is a devilish charmer isn't she?!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about the exotic nature of the substance that is bringing out a certain type of story. I pity the man standing against that kind of mesmerism.
ReplyDeleteWow wondeful, a glamour addiction!
ReplyDeleteGlamour – witch or vampire – has the upper hand – and all through her eyes. He doesn’t stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteLove how you used the line as the lure to attract... glamour is just on the surface I think
ReplyDeletefemme fatale - an almost stereotype?
ReplyDeleteThis is utterly seamless and terrific, Chris!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
