Father’s Gift (Part 2)

Part Two

“Grant?…. You good?”

I shake my head. Shit… I was zoning out. I had been lost in thought about the events of the past week. I received the remote, and met my father amongst other things. It’s been a few days since I first fucked Riley, and I’ve been kinda busy. I’ve been mainly trying to get a better understanding of the remotes effects and of course boning any stranger I happen to run into sexy enough to pique my interest. It seems that, even though time is frozen, the body will still react to stimulation. For example, if I touch a girl while time is stopped, she will still get wet. Also sensations that would result from any touch while time is stopped is stored. For example, if I were too punch a guy in the jaw three times while time is stopped, he would feel all of it at once when time started.

My work friend, Ivan, snaps his fingers in front of my face. It’s lunch time and apparently I’ve been staring into the corner for the past twenty minutes.

“Bro, you’re doing it again… You good homie?”

“Yeah I’m cool man, just thinking about some stuff.”

He runs hands over his shaven head, confused but doesn’t question me anymore.

“Alright foo, whatever you say. Time to head back though.”

We get back to work and continue the day.

After a couple more hours, we finish up our work and start heading home. I make it too the truck when I’m stopped by a familiar face. It’s the mystery girl that gave me the remote.

“You again? What’s up?”

“I have news. It’s about your father.”

“He kicked the bucket didn’t he?”

She nods at me and leans up against the door of my truck. I check her out a bit more and she catches me looking at her butt. She runs a hand through her short, blue hair and winks at me.

“Anyway, he wanted you to know that his dying wish is for you to meet and form a healthy relationship with your other siblings.”

“I fully intend to do that, I’ve just been testing out the powers of the remote.”



“I get it, and I can help you out a bit with that.”

She hold out her hand, and I hand her the remote.

“To start, the remote has been registered to you and can only be use by you.”

She clicks pause but nothing happens.

“This applies until you pass on the remote, like your father did, or you die. If you do die, the next person to come into contact with it will be the newly register owner.”

“Good to know it can’t be abused if I misplace it.”

“Another thing, you CANT misplace it. It won’t let you. It will appear in your pocket if it goes missing, or you try to leave it at home. It’s power is too great to be lost.”

“Well that’s convenient.”

“Lastly, you can keep people from freezing with you. Simply make physical contact with the person or persons you wish to keep unfrozen.”

“You mean like this??”

I grab her wrist and quickly hit the pause button. Everything freezes around us but, unlike the many other times before, I’m not the only one still moving. She seems surprised at my suddenness but isn’t upset.
