Hundred

My addition to the Hundred Words Challenge, various oneshots with various themes, most likely spanning every genre in the fiction section of the universe, and trying to focus on every character. And for the record, I was the first one done.

I first learned what I could do with instruments when I was 13 years old. I was sitting on a rock in the middle of nowhere, enjoying the beaytiful day. I was also avoiding my music teacher, a horrible old man who hated my guts.

Ther was a snakes sunning itself on the rock next to mine, and I decided to pretend I was a snake charmer. I know I was a little old for pretending, but I never stopped enjoying it, and I had seen one a couple days ago. I had always had a bit of musical talent, so I picked up my pipe and began to play.

To my surprise, a perfect copy of the snake charmer's song came out. Again to my surprise, the snake did what I wanted it to do.

I blinked, shook my head, and tried again. It still worked.

I was starting to get excited now. I had fun with the snake for the rest of the day, and when my parents found me that night, I was still forcing the snake to do what I wanted.

It went on from there. First rabbits, then dogs, then bears, then people. THe music teacher was sent away, and I put on shows for visitors to the town, and when I grew up, I took my show on the road. If I had known what it would lead to, though. I don't think I would ever have tried to hypnotize through my playing.
