Flashback Friday: We’re Not Getting a New Dog

This story was originally available only for Patrons but is now free with some added text for all as part of Flashback Fridays, just in time for IPTC!

Things had been a bit tense lately between Joey and Kane lately, and it was partially because Kane always acted like he was top dog. Just the way he would put his hand on Joey’s shoulder often made Joey feel as if he was being talked down to, instead of having a discussion among partners. One of the biggest sources of contention had been Joey’s desire to get a pet, but Kane was against the added responsibility because he was always stressed out from his responsibility at work as it was – that job and stress being another source of their conflicts.

Joey decided he had enough, and started to think about what he could do to change the dynamic. He couldn’t help but remember the puppy dog eyes Kane used to give him when they first started hooking up, and about how much he missed seeing that sweet playful side in his partner.

It was a crazy thought, but he started to search ways to bring out someone’s inner dog when he stumbled upon some special recordings. Meanwhile, he started stashing a secret supply of items that he would bring out after a special romantic dinner surprise.

It was after one of their latest spats that Kane left for a walk, and Joey decided tonight was the night to plan his special dinner. Things didn’t go exactly as planned though when Kane came home earlier than expected and saw a dog dish.


“What’s this? I told you we are NOT getting a dog.”

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Joey said. For weeks, he had been playing some subliminals with music to make Kane more receptive to being programmed, and now it was time to actually be programmed with new suggestions.  As Joey placed play on the special tracks, Kane instantly started relaxing.

Before long, he was entranced and taking off his clothes. And as he stripped away each item, he stripped away more of the inhibitions in his mind. The subliminals had left him open and vulnerable, and the messaging began to have an immediate effect as human thoughts started drifting out of Kane’s mind. He couldn’t stop it, but it also was feeling so good for him to just let go as he dropped down to his knees.

For a brief moment, he started to come to, asking, “What are you doing to me?” But Joey said, “Relax. This way we can both be happy. I finally get the pet I’ve wanted and you can just forget all about stress when you’re at home now. You’ll still be you when needed to go make money, but now you can simply let go whenever you’re at home. Just a nice and simple pup with me, and for me.”

Kane began repeating.: “Simple is good. Simple is good. Simple is dog.”

The Applicant

Having grown up loving the outdoors and being quite knowledgeable about camping in the woods, Keith was excited about a job ad he had seen for a campground instructor and trainer. When his application received a response stating that all applicants must familiarize themselves with the company via training videos, he had no idea that he was the one beginning to undergo training. Though he could always remember the beginning of the training video, he always felt as if he zoned out by the end of it – leading him to watch the orientation video over and over. Though his mind continued to feel a bit hazy on the details of the video, he did start to feel more and more as if he was the perfect fit for the position, completely unaware of the subtle changes that were making him the perfect candidate for the position. Still, he reached out again to follow-up on his application. “Programming Complete. Ready for Stage Two.” An interview was promptly set up, and he arrived wearing jeans and a tank.

Welcome. I see you dressed up in work-appropriate attire. 


By other standards, it wouldn’t have been, but the subliminal programming had encouraged jeans, boots, and a series of tanks that he had not remembered ordering. It did not entirely matter, as soon Keith was feeling compelled to strip off his clothing. That’s it, Keith. You’ve already stripped away so much resistance watching the training videos, and now you are going to strip away all your remaining inhibitions as you begin to fully strip down.

“Of course, Boss. I’ll dress and undress as required for the job.” Keith’s easy compliance showed the programming at work, and soon he would be relaxing on an outdoor sofa ready to complete and finalize the programming for his new position.
