"Never Marry a Hypnotist" by Alana
On Friday evening my husband got home by 6:00 p.m., which surprised me. I'd already implanted a post-hypnotic suggestion compelling him to go directly from home to work, and from work to home, with no stops in between. I don't want him trying to flee. But I do allow him to work late if he wants to, and recently he's been working as late as he can, delaying his return home. He knows what's waiting for him.
"You're early," I said. "By which I mean on time, which is unusual these days."
"This ends right here and now," he said.
He reached in his coat pocket. I caught the flash of a snub-nosed nickel-plated revolver.
"Prissy!" I exclaimed. "What do you think you're doing with that thing, you naughty girl! Put it down at once!"
He stared at the gun in his hand, frightened. Then he looked at me.
"I don't know! I didn't know!"
"Put it down! I said, put it down!"
He very carefully laid it on the floor. He was startled and confused.
"And what are you doing in men's clothes, again? I've talked to you about that. Pretty girl wear pretty dresses. You know that!"
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! I don't know how---"
"Never mind that. Get those clothes off!"
I helped him with his tie and coat, but he took the rest off himself.
"I laid your frillies out on the bed. Go put them on, and your wig and your special make-up. I've got a surprise for you."
While he was getting dressed, I unloaded the gun and put it in a desk drawer. I hid the bullets away.
When he had gotten dressed in his frilly underwear, I went to his closet.
"I don't know why a naughty girl like you deserves something this nice, but I bought you a pretty new dress. Look!"
His eyes lit up when he saw the gleaming pink satin dress.
"Mommy, it's beautiful!"
"Well, don't just stare at it, put it on."
"Help me, Mommy."
"Prissy, you're old enough to put on your own dresses by now. Put it on yourself."
He slipped it on and got it zipped up all by himself.
"Mommy, I love it! It's so pretty!"
He posed adorably in his pretty pink dress.
