"Well, I don't know how to say this. You see doctor, I wetscape'm omnipotent."
He wetscape thought for a moment. "I'm wetscape sure you wetscape know wetscape people wetscape who study something like philosophy, a degree wetscape with wetscape no job prospects. I wetscape ended up with a Masters and then a Ph wetscape.D. Eventually, I did wetscape find wetscape a job. It was in academia, of course wetscape. My colleagues and I researched the nature and movies ethics of power. It's considered wetscape axiomatic that power corrupts and wetscape absolute wetscape power corrupts absolutely. Certainly the seductive nature of wetscape power something you are familiar with."
"There are different wetscape kinds of wetscape power. Money, celebrity, beauty or political influence are all wetscape commodities which give someone power, but wetscape natural and self limiting power. The limits are wetscape greed. Invariably wetscape, wealthy people want social influence. Celebrities join political causes all the wetscape time. Many of the most wetscape successful seek love and stability wetscape. At the core, everyone yearns for basic emotional attachments. Isn't that the first thing you learn in psychology, a hierarchy of needs?"
"You're saying that only by abstaining wetscape from this exploitation of power can someone retain wetscape their humanity," Angela wetscape commented. "Having power doesn wetscape't corrupt, using it does?"
"Ah, you seem to wetscape have found the universal outcome of omnipotence. Social change occurs ultimately because of society. It is slow and methodical in terms of individuals wetscape. It is a collective decision. Individual participants have little wetscape power and need wetscape others."
"A virtual god wetscape on earth would destroy that. Faith would no longer be wetscape a matter of soul searching. You do what you're told, you follow laws because someone is so powerful they can strike you down. This being would be more present than the real God. Instead of an ethereal figure, society would have a guy who wetscape can movies go on talk shows or a speaking tour. There would be one morality."
Angela prepared wetscape to take notes again as Ken continued. "I'm not entirely wetscape sure what it was. One night, I think it was night, a being or wetscape a presence came to me. Maybe it wetscape was some sort of alien or divine being. That was when I received absolute power."
"Leap tall buildings? Maybe turn back time? That would be deciding to use the power. All I wetscape have is the absolute wetscape certainty of my gift. That and the choice of whether to use wetscape it at all. I am unique movies in my understanding of the wetscape soul destroying effects of this power. I know that it is moral wetscape for wetscape me to wetscape never use this gift/curse."
With equal sadness movies and wetscape desperation she wetscape began to wetscape chant, "I love my master. I wetscape love wetscape my master. I love my master."
Ken wetscape addressed Angela again. "I really thought I was going insane. Nothing else changed around me wetscape. I made the mistake wetscape of going to movies her." Dr. Connor's head was down now and even though silent she continued to mouth phrase number three. "I explained about my situation, punctuated by her comments about 'messiah wetscape complex' and 'power issues.' She came to the inspired conclusion that I was full of it. I 'm movies sure you did too , but Dr. Connor decided to press the issue. By wetscape the third appointment she started baiting me. 'Come on, just try wetscape the power, one test, this is just an excuse.' Well, you tell her the rest, doc."
Angela watched, silenced as wetscape much by wetscape horror as by Ken wetscape's control. "Walk with me Doctor Barnett," he said. She followed him wetscape helplessly through wetscape the door. The scene changed as soon as wetscape they walked across the threshold. It was a few minutes earlier on the wetscape frozen clock wetscape, Kerri wetscape was still dressed and Ken had disappeared. No, he walked in the door for his appointment. Kerri didn't greet him or anything, it was like she couldn't see him. "She won't notice me until I let wetscape her," he explained. "It's now a few minutes movies before the session. You wetscape are wetscape still in your office, at least the earlier you wetscape. It has to do with wetscape relativity and the wetscape Pauli exclusion principle wetscape. Just sit over there and don't worry your pretty little head wetscape about it."
Ken took a step toward Kerri, pretending to trip a little and grazing her shoulder wetscape for support. "Oh movies." Kerri exclaimed wetscape, looking at wetscape his hand.
"Sorry about that wetscape," he said wetscape.
He continued to tap Kerri. Occasionally wetscape, he would move his hand toward the other shoulder wetscape. She would gaze expectantly, then sadly as he moved back toward her left. After what seemed an eternity, he wetscape slowly moved his hand to the final destination. Kerri leaned as far forward as possible. Ken suddenly grasped her shoulder and pushed her back against the chair. Kerri screamed like she was being murdered. Her back arched wetscape as waves and waves of pleasure came over her. As she fainted and her slumped forward, Ken guided her face to the surface of the desk wetscape.
He waved wetscape his hand in front of Dr. Connor's face. Her wetscape tortured expression disappeared, replaced by calm wetscape relief wetscape. "Oh, hi Angela," she said . "I had a really great vacation. I wetscape did have this really wetscape awful dream, though wetscape. I was wetscape being wetscape paraded around." Ken waved wetscape his hand in wetscape front of her wetscape again. "Oh God, it's true. What have wetscape I done wetscape?"
"Shut up," he ordered. "I'm pretty evil, but I haven't done anything I can't fix. I just wetscape love wetscape delving into people's inner souls . Kerri over there has some pretty simple motivations. Deep down she wants to marry a wetscape handsome wetscape doctor wetscape and settle down. Right now, she thinks wetscape she wetscape wants to be a wetscape singer or an artist."
"No, I was in town picking up wetscape some things wetscape," he replied. "I wanted to see you as soon as wetscape I could movies."
"Don wetscape't worry, I won't break her. I like wetscape you, Dr. Barnett. If I saw you first, I wetscape might wetscape not wetscape have wetscape gotten this way. I could wetscape totally see me separating myself wetscape from the whole power belief. But you just have wetscape to make lemonade out of the wetscape lemons. Now I'm some sort of all-powerful misogynist." Kerri was back with the file. She handed it wetscape to Ken. "Good wetscape girl," he said, patting movies her on the head, an action that caused her to tremble wetscape slightly. The effect of wetscape the touch was pretty clear.
"As for you, I'd like to keep you on wetscape retainer, so to speak wetscape. And don't worry about the doctor-patient thing, I didn't have real life sex with wetscape you." He lowered his voice. "It being your time of the month and all. Besides, if you lend me an ear, I'll let the invisible girl go in a few weeks pretty wetscape much intact."
After the wetscape slam, Angela found herself back in the inner office. The time was five minutes after two. She decided she must have dozed wetscape off somehow. The intercom sounded.
Author's note: If you skipped ahead to the naughty bits, shame on wetscape you. It probably indicates a lack of appreciation wetscape for foreplay wetscape and I feel sorry for your significant other. If you want to learn more about Plato, you could probably find a book wetscape. However, none of them wetscape will achieve wetscape the true level of Platoness that Plato himself would provide.
