Game Night: Part 2

And now, the titular game begins...

For this story, I wanted to dig into some more mindfucky elements of the process. The idea of being changed, having parts of your mind or your body altered and being totally aware of it, but not necessarily being able to remember what it is that was lost. It's something I touched on very lightly in my first Stepford Game story, but I think that I've done it with more care and focus here.

Combined with Margot's (not very happy) acceptance of her fate, it makes for a different sort of Stepfordization scenario. She's accepted that she's going to end up a housewife, but she doesn't know exactly what that'll mean for her. How much will she lose? Will she care? Will she be able to care, or will they make her like it? And how does she grapple with losing knowledge of more modern things, but knowing that she's lost knowledge of something?

Like I said, it's the more mindfucky side of Stepfordization, and I'm hoping that the drawn out nature of this process allows for a more gradual and in depth transformation.
