"Whew!" Master Hand sighed in relief, "Took me forever to get those swaps all sorted out! Somebody must have saw Crazy taking the box to the trash and stole it from him. I will take this to the incinerator myself, so nobody can take it this time."
---------30 Minutes Later--------
"Ooohhh! Shiny!" Crazy Hand exclaimed, "Wait, why is this remote in the incinerator pile? Well, here's the instruction pamphlet... A SWAPPING REMOTE?!?! Now that sounds like fun! Three swap types... four kinds of swaps... can only swap the user and one other... ugh, instructions are boooooooorrrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnnnng." Crazy Hand mumbles as he flips through the instructions, "I should just give this to someone, and see what they do! Ooh, yes! That would be exciting! And chaotic! I love chaos!" A lightbulb appears over Crazy Hand's head, "I shouldn't give them the manual either! That will cause even more chaos! But they can't know it's from me. If they know, Master Hand will find out, so I have to do this all sneaky like." Crazy Hand leaves the incinerator room and goes to a contestants dorm. "Delivery!" Crazy says in a gruff voice. As the door starts to open, Crazy Hand flies off, quietly cackling to himself, "Oh, this will be good!"

The Fairy Godmother Returns By Morpheus I let out a long sigh took a look back towards my school as I left for the day. However, it wasn't the school itself that I was staring at, but a hot girl who was leaving at the same time... in nearly the opposite direction. Sheila Case wasn't exactly the hottest girl in school, but she was definitely within the top five. Personally however, out of all of the girls in the school she was at the very top of my list. She was the girl that I...
Smash the Patriarchy: I recall the day my oldest daughter Gillian came home with a mug that her friend had bought her which said "Smash the Patriarchy!" on it. This was the first time that I felt my authority as head of my household challenged. I was, after all, the father of two girls and we lived in a modest four bedroom detached house just outside Birmingham. I was used to being obeyed. I told Gillian and Natalie that when they went to school I expected them to wear their...
Me and my buddies were living the best life any college seniors could ask for. We shared a small house. My two friends Jack and Phil, and myself, Cameron is the name, had gone in on it together after we had met each other our freshman year at state college. It was now the fall semester of our senior year, we all had good enough GPAs and we were looking forward to spending our senior year partying. And we definitely did spend that year partying, just not exactly as planned. I didn't...

By EFon Chapter 4 : Bros and Hoes I almost fell as Jake jerked my out my front door and out of my door yard. "What the fuck man!?!" He didn't let up until we were around the bushes of my neighbor's house, obscuring my house completely. Only then did he release my arm and take a deep breath. I had a feeling this would be about what happened between him and my sister last night, but I realized then that this was hard for him to deal with. "I gotta be straight up with you...
Hans-Olof was not a handsome man. He had always been overweight, had always had glasses. The overweight boy with glasses had matured into a fat man with thick glasses. He had always known that his weight was the first thing that people noticed about him and in most cases judged him by. Everyone felt free to give him advice on diet and exercise, but very seldom did anyone have something to say that he didn’t already know. Except the nutters, of which there were quite a few. They could say just...
“Errgk” Natasha looked over her shoulder. Banner is on his knees hunched over. His skin turning green. His shirt tightening. “Keep it together Banner. Focus” The buttons on his shirt popped. His feet bulged and split his shoes. Natasha tried to stand up but her foot was trapped under a pipe. She pulled with all her strength. The seams of Banner’s shirt ripped. Banner was gone all that remained was Hulk. Natasha thought if she lay still maybe Hulk would ignore her. Hulk stood up and turned...
Super Smash Bros, the fighting game sensation, the crossover like none other, the absolute pinnacle of party game fun matched only by an intense competitive scene. And an absolute smorgasbord of cute, crazy, awesome characters: a good portion female. Why does that last part matter? Because this story is a little different. A cute girl is even better when you subtract the clothes. And then sprinkle in a little modesty, a blush, a nervous fidget. Maybe it's just me. Or maybe you'd like to use the...
What is Smash, you ask? Only the hottest new dating app, but it's a secret. This secret app is a hookup app designed specifically to enable kinky interracial sex between white guys and Asian girls, and in the most hedonistic ways possible. The UI looks a lot like Tinder, but without any pretense of civility. Full stats are posted: guys post height, dick size, eye color, body type, etc while girls show cup size, height, measurements, etc. Both post their numbers: from the white "conquest score"...

Andrew had just returned home from a trip to the mall that had changed his life forever. He'd only had the 'universal remote,' as the old man at the strange gadget shop had called it, for a few hours now but he knew that things would never be the same. He had already seen it turn on any gadget, physically move matter and the best yet, it seemed to be able to alter anyone's mind that he chose. He had no idea how exactly it worked, and he suspected that its creator, the old man in the shop named...
Little Shop of Shiva Another long day at the shop had slipped away. I unlocked the apartment and threw my jacket on the recliner as I reached for the remote. After several attempts the afternoon news filled the screen, but the remote failed to respond after numerous attempts to change channels. Too many abrupt encounters with the hardwood floor had finally taken their toll. Without pausing to grab my customary after work brew, I went out the door committed to a quick trip to “Wally...
Part 1:The Clinic Part 1: The Clinic Jack checked the address on the wall one more time, and compared it against the sheet of paper he had been given. The bare metal door at the bottom of the stairwell did not look inviting, and certainly was not what he'd expected from the description he'd been given of the clinic. Mentally shrugging, he walked down the steps and knocked one time, as instructed. A brief moment passed before the door was opened by a large, casually dressed...
The Remote By Mr. Pec Victor tirelessly changed from one channel to the next with his remote in an endless search for something meaningful to watch. He would pause for several seconds on some channels, passing others without a second glance. It marveled him to think that out of 73 channels of programming, he could find nothing to watch. His frustration finally peaked and Victor hit the power button, making the 22-inch screen go dark. He sighed and dropped the remote beside...
"Hey mom would you like to take part in my experiment?" Toby asked his mom. "Why of course honey. Anything for my little boy," Toby's mom smiled. "Cool. You have to come follow us in the basement mom," Toby said to his mom. "Ok honey," his mom smiled. Toby's mom Julia Cameron followed her son and his Japanese friend Yoshida into her their house basement which her son and his best friend had converted into a scientific lab where they conduct their experiments. Toby was 10 years...
Samantha was an undergrad in university with the intelligence, popularity and the looks to go along with it. She breezed through most of her classes with ease hardly ever needing to study. At 5'6 with cascading brunette hair, D cup breasts and long sexy legs she easily made the cheerleader team and could have any man she wanted. Her best friend Elise was similar in figure with blonde straight hair that hung over her pert C-cup breasts. They lazily flipped through channels on the...
As Andrew walked out the door he glanced at his older sister, leant over the kitchen counter and reading her magazine. Holy shit he thought, his friends were right - she was a knockout. It was hard to admit that about her when she acted like such a bitch around him all the time, he wanted nothing to do with giving her any praise. But the truth remained, her luscious dark brown hair, pulled back in a ponytail, and below that a slim waist that led down to her graspable butt made her sexy simply...
You're coming home from work and pass by an alley. You hear screams and stop. Looking down the alley you see a haggard old woman being accosted by a few youths. You yell at them to stop and cry out for someone to call the police as you come to her aid. They see you coming and push the old woman down as they scramble to run away. You come to the old woman and help her up, asking if she's okay and if she needs an ambulance or anything. She thanks you profusely for your help and says she wants to...

Mother Ethel always enjoyed the short walk to the train station. It was beautiful Autumnal morning and Mother Ethel took the opportunity to walk to the train station as she knew that she had a very busy day ahead. Those that saw Mother Ethel along the way bowed reverently,they knew that Mother Ethel was a Nun of the Monastery of Repentance and when a Nun or a Monk walked past it was polite to bow, for many knew what the Nun's and Monk's of the Monastery were capable of. As Mother Ethel strolled...

"Good," he said with a laugh while leaning over and kissing her on the cheek, "cuz if you need anymore you're outta luck, I'm one dead puppy!!!" A few minutes later the only sound you could hear was Vern's soft even snoring as he drifted off to...

Over the next couple of days I couldn’t stop thinking about that woman and the weird remote sitting on my desk. Several times I picked it up but I couldn’t bring myself to push the “menu” button. I suppose I was afraid it wouldn’t work - or that it would. But my curiosity was getting the best of me about why it worked, so I pulled my little tool kit out of the drawer and took the back off the remote to see if I could locate a processor or a memory chip, maybe learn it from the inside...
The foyer of the Smash Mansion was rarely an empty place with all the contestants traveling between modes. Hardly a day went by where half the cast didn’t crash into each other. But busy as it was, that meant rumors between the residents spread quickly. If anyone snuck off together, people would take notice— a relationship couldn’t stay unknown for long when so many nosy characters passed by. But being found out rarely stopped love in the mansion, and even the oddest couples kept kissing,...
The foyer of the Smash Mansion was rarely an empty place with all the contestants traveling between modes. Hardly a day went by where half the cast didn’t crash into each other. And it was surprisingly common to crash into a competitor who wasn’t wearing any clothes. But busy as it was, that only meant rumors between the residents spread quickly. If anyone snuck off together, people would take notice— and a relationship couldn’t stay unknown for long when so many nosy characters lived close...
This is a story I have previously written. I am converting it into CHYOA format. It is a single path story consisting of roughly 15,000 words. It is loosely based on a real life date that I had with a similar scenario (though it was not quite as fantastical as what will happen to Jennifer, I assure you). In this story, you can expect to find: a bratty overconfident protagonist, themes of comeuppance, BDSM, risky exhibitionism, tickling, and more. The story is 100% consensual and the main...
BDSMDot, Dorothea, and Dick Chapter One Dear sister: I found this letter among some others, scrolled up and tied with purple ribbon, in a chest belonging to our great grandfather.

I believe the letter speaks for itself, so I will now offer it up to you. Dearest Charles: I hope this missive finds you in such good...

Romance“Lucia, your brothers are coming home today.” my father told me.“They are not my brothers, they are your girlfriend’s sons.” I argued as I put my hair up.“Come on Lucia, I know that your relationship has been turbulent with Nancy but I’m asking you to behave.” he sighed.“Turbulent? This is all your fault, to begin with! You knew how I felt when you started seeing her and you didn’t care. I’m going to work out.” I argued.“Don’t stay out all day, we’re gonna have a family dinner.”“We’re not a...

"Wait Haley, I don't understand," April said. "What about the remote?" "My dad bought this super fancy, touch screen remote control," Haley replied. "And my mom is so frustrated because she can't figure out how to use it. So my dad said he could teach me to use it, and if I could learn, why couldn't she?" "O.K. So, what happened?" "My dad spent like 20 minutes teaching me how to use the thing. It is pretty complicated. I'm totally not surprised that my mom couldn't figure...

Okay, I guess this is where I have to admit to the world that I’m just your average somewhat self-absorbed teenager. After my success with Sherry and Dad, I was starting to feel like I could easily have my way by just aiming the remote, pushing a couple of buttons, and making a wish. But you know what? I read somewhere that if things start to feel like they’re too good to be true, it’s probably because they are. My next two attempts at mind manipulation shook up my world more than I could...
They ate Salmon glazed with chili and ginger with Tiramisu as desert. Diane had read somewhere that the salmon cooked like that was supposedly seductive. Barry had doubts but was happy to go along with the idea. “I’m sitting opposite a very sexy woman who has spend the whole afternoon having her body pampered every which way, and had a sperm and sex juice appetizer. What the hell would I want an aphrodisiac for?” Diane giggled. “Barry darling, if you are trying to drag your slut of a wife...

Our Last Day of School. I can’t believe it. This is my last day of school, I thought, not sure how I felt now that the long awaited day was here. Stepping out into the beautiful sunny afternoon, heading toward the group of waiting yellow school buses I breathed a sigh of relief. I was glad school was finished. Throughout High School like a ship at sea, I had plotted my course, studying hard. However, the Scholarship that many felt I had rightfully won had somehow ended up going to one of...

What’s wrong?”Anthea looked up at her mum as she sat down at the dining table. “Nothing is wrong,” Anthea responded watching as her mum hurriedly dried her hands with a tea towel.“Is the baby okay? Are you okay? Is Jack okay?” she asked as her husband came into the room and pulled up a seat at the table.“We’re all fine Mum,” she responded exasperated with her mum’s anxiety. “I have something to tell you.”“Sit down Helen,” her dad snapped. “Give the lass a chance to speak.”Anthea...

Maxwell Tebson was a 73-year old that I’d visit most days like me he has no family and friends and we both love TV.

He passed away a month ago in his sleep. There were few...
Mind ControlI went to school as usual, I was in homeroom, when all of a sudden I felt my dick twitch. I look around the room till, I see a girl who’s name was Laura, with a what looked like to be a remote. She just stared at me, and smiled and then went back to her work. I then feel another twitch, I don’t even know Laura that well. Also why is that remote controlling my dick, she then makes my dick get so hard. Then I was saved by the bell, thank god I thought to myself. This isn’t over between us she...

Just a bit of fun this time, purely fictional. Like most mornings I’m up making my stepbrother and myself breakfast before we head out to the University. It’s his first year and my third, our parents only willing to pay if we went local and stayed at home. That surely made things easy but there is always more of a price to pay. One of those is my pervy stepbrother, if not sneaking peeks at me it’s jacking off in my used panties as I’ve caught him at both many times. I love the little fucker or...

Peter didn't realize his mistake fast enough. He was too preoccupied to notice. Unfortunately for him, his sister did notice. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE? I CAN ALL HEAR THAT," she yelled as her fists slammed on Peter's bedroom door. "Oh fuck," Peter hissed as he rushed to pause the video. "UH, SORRY IT WAS A POPUP." He tore off his headphones and rushed to get dressed, silently cursing under his breath. "YEAH, OKAY Peter." Heather walked away wearing a pleased look. Even though her and Peter...
Mind ControlI woke up to the sound of Cindy singing in the shower. I yawned and turned my head to look at the clock. It was almost nine, and the winter sun was streaming in through the triangular windows set up high in the wall, bathing the big room in a cozy glow. I closed my eyes to catch a few more minutes, but it's impossible to sleep when Cindy is singing. It's not that she can't carry a tune, she actually has rather pleasant soprano. The problem is that she never remembers the lyrics, so she hums...
Now I’ll go back to the reason I think this has happened to someone else. On the Saturday morning before school started in September, I was cruising around in my car and decided to take one more shot at finding that old farmhouse out on Mesa Road. I’d never been able to work out exactly what went on there and I hadn’t paid that witch her two bucks, either. And whether she’d sold me a pig in a poke or something magical, it bothered me a lot that I still owed her for it. I got about two miles...
Uther By Ellie Dauber (c) 2006 Introduction According to the legends of King Arthur, Merlin changed Uther Pendragon into a double for Duke Gorlois, so he could spend the night with Ygraine, the Duke's wife. Ygraine and Gorlois had three daughters: Elaine, Morgause, and Morgan le Faye. During their time together, Ygraine became pregnant with the child who was to become King Arthur. Uther's men killed Gorlois that same night. This is my TG (of course) version of what...
Chapter 11: Althea, the School Girl The infernal screeching of the alarm clock awoke Cal from his reverie. He had been up for about a half-hour, but he had only been lying in bed next to the love of his life. Althea's arms were still clutched about him as he stealthily clicked the snooze button, assuming that it was six o' five in the morning, his usual waking time during the school week. He had been thinking long and hard about the previous two nights. Evan... what have you become? He...
edited by Master Ken Wednesday, September 4th, 2013 "Hi, I am Miss Blythe," I said to my class, writing my name on the whiteboard with a red dry-erase marker. "I will be your World History teacher." It was the first day of the new school year and, as I launched into the course syllabus, my thoughts kept drifting to that day in June at the end of the last term, when my Living God, the Holy Mark Glassner, walked into this very classroom and changed my very outlook on life. I didn't know...
The the wind howled around the quayside as I stepped onto terra firma for the first time in weeks, the wind threw sharp shards of ice to sting our faces as we looked up at the sails as they were finally furled and stowed as our captain grinned at our discomfiture, "Au revoir!" he joked as if he knew we should soon be recalled. Those such as were left, and we were few enough, I shuddered. My best uniform packed securely in my Valise, awaited me, and just a few more duties before I...
Carol held her coffee as though it was the elixir of life. It very well looked like it was, too; in the cafe’s more direct light, Jake could make out dark circles under her eyes that hadn’t been there before.“Are you alright?” Jake asked. “You look…”“...like hell,” Petra offered.Carol gave that crooked smile again. Something about it was really familiar. “I’ll be fine. It’s just… really exhausting getting here.”Jake shook his head. “I don’t get it. Getting here? From where? And why?”Carol...
