It was everyone's worst nightmare. Went to the doc, then given six months to live. Shouldn't have gone to the doc.
The only question was, how was I going to fit a lifetime of desires into a measly six months? Fortunately, my wife had me write down a bucket list. Great idea. However, I wrote down a second bucket list – one that she wasn't supposed to see.

It was everyone's worst nightmare. Went to the doc, then given six months to live. Shouldn't have gone to the doc.
The only question was, how was I going to fit a lifetime of desires into a measly six months? Fortunately for me, my wife had me write down a bucket list. Great idea. However, I wrote down a second bucket list – one that she wasn't supposed to see.
But she found it. And now she was going to help me fulfill it.
For the longest time, I hadn't even known she had found my naughty bucket list. It wasn't until one day I came back from the store and saw that Brooke, my 18-year-old granddaughter, had visited. That was odd, she rarely came over.
Furrowing my brow - and worried that something was wrong at home - I hurried inside.
"Oh, hi, Brooke!" I said and set the groceries down, glancing questioningly at my lovely wife.
Brooke said nothing, just sat there in the living room chair - completely still, her hands resting in her lap.
READ MORE"Say hi to your grandpa, Brooke." Grandma prodded softly.
"Hi, gramps!" She suddenly became animated.
"What's going on?" I swiftly closed the gap between my wife and I.
"Nothing, honey..." She smiled, then handed me a small device.
"What's this?" I furrowed my brows at the tiny, flashing red device. It was the size of a microchip and looked delicate.
"It's a mind control device, honey." She explained.
I stared at my wife, wondering if she'd lost her goddamned mind.
"A what?"
"You WERE serious about this, weren't you?" She whipped out my fantasy bucket list and waved it in my face.
"What...what's that?" I asked, my leathery face turning the color of the sun. Of course I knew exactly what that was - I'd written it myself. But how had she found it? I thought I'd hidden it well!
"You know what this is, Steven." Her voice got a hard edge to it.
"And...uh...okay..."
"And here you go. When you want to command her to do something, hold down the red button and tell her what you want. Then release it." Then she stood, grabbed her purse and left. "I'm going out with the girls to play bridge. Have fun!" She pecked me on the cheek and left.
I stood there, flabbergasted. What in the actual fuck?
COLLAPSE
