Attack dog

"Come on, girl, dive !"

i focused on the sleeping face, and shivered. The other mind felt cold. But i still slipped inside effortlessly. All its memories and aspirations were exposed and bared for me. i barked.

"Good girl." She petted my hair. "Now, attack."

i obeyed. i started ripping everything off, tearing through the experiences of this mind's previous owner.

The very soul inside the body fought back, forcing me to feel the pain it was going through. i felt the loss of every laugh, the disappearance of every tear of joy. The mourning of every lost love.

Tears dampened my cheeks. i was starting to feel again.

But my Owner's hand stroked my head faster, and her reassuring words slipped in my ear, giving me the strength to keep going.

So i kept going, not letting go of my assault. And soon, everything went silent. My target was gone.

i filled the blank mind back up, turning it into an obedient little puppy. For Her. it wouldn't be able to take minds like me, but it also wouldn't remember their pain.

it barked happily.

"Good, good girls." She rubbed both of our heads. "Now, let's all go play together."
