Carrot Ranch June 13: Story Challenge in 99-words

June 13, 2023, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about fathers in general, or a specific father. You can use different names — Papa, Daddy, Fabio. What is significant about a father? Write an homage, rant, comedy, tragedy, or anything in between. Go where the prompt leads!

I decided to join in on the Carrot Ranch 99 words,  story this week because the prompt is about fathers.  I just had to share one of my favorite stories about my father.  I hope you all enjoy my story.  If you would like to join in on the story challenge follow the link to Carrot Ranch  and follow the directions on the my page.

My Father the Hypnotist

My father Henry Fluharty

My father was a hypnotist. I recall the first time I saw him hypnotize someone. It was my sister’s boyfriend. I sat on the floor next to them and watched. I witnessed my father speaking quietly, telling him to monitor the watch. Swinging it in front of his face. My father helped him relax and go into a trance. My father walked him through his childhood. He remembered being in his mother’s womb. My father’s efforts to make him go back further were in vain as he got scared, and my father immediately woke him up.

Thank-you for reading.

Much Love and light,
