Chapter Three: Daddy Mind-Control's His Fertile Girl By mypenname3000 Copyright 2020 Notes: Thanks to WRC264 for beta reading this!

Sam got up very early the following morning, as naked as yesterday, and had to run downstairs to use Mindy's mouth urgently. He squatted over his daughter's violated mouth, and did an enormous shit, and pissed at the same time. He finished off by wiping his ass and dumping it on top of his shit which slowly proceeded to disappear down his daughter's throat. He then coughed up a large gob of phlegm, and without thinking spat it out into Mindy's mouth. Jason and Ethel came down rather...

We have lived next to Janice for a few years and have become used to hearing her temper tantrums, lots of shouting though to us she has always been very polite.

It's a drab, nondescript little room hardly worth describing except it plays a key part in our story. It was not Martin's in any propertied sense.

In mockery after a few martinis, Cindy refers to it as the "formal maid quarters." Never refurbished or remodeled like the rest of the house and...

These are based on persons that I have had the disadvantage to have known. The stories are based on facts that are real, with a great deal of distorting the facts to make a better story.
