Title: Follow Me

Sasha’s quest for world domination was a slow process. Her extensive research in neuroscience and cult psychology formed the basis of her plan. Her studies confirmed the importance of preparing the subject’s mind, training and conditioning it to accept and execute her suggestions without question.
The first steps were simple. Couched in benign requests, few people objected, and peer pressure forced compliance as she led them through children’s games. They were rules of conduct even negligent parents taught their offspring. Sit quietly, don’t ask questions, follow the leader.
The next step was a compulsory five-minute rendition of the chicken dance.

Her plan is either deceptively brilliant or doomed for failure. Glad it made you laugh.

Every plan for world domination has to start somewhere. If Lex Luthor started with the chicken dance instead of going right after Superman, he may have been more successful.

Sasha certainly has the right idea to do what she wants to achieve. Controlling mind is essential though diabolical. She was creating a bunch of zombies who just follow orders.

Ah, ha, ha. This reminds me of us doing the Hokey Pokey years ago. With the right frame of mind, it seems you can get people to do the silliest things without them catching on or not joining in. Brilliant, Jo. 😀 — Suzanne
