Eric had been walking home from his last day of school when he wandered into an antique shop. It wasn't the kind that was full of expensive china and flower vases. This shop was filled with strange and mysterious artifacts. Eric had wandered to the back, where there were three objects sitting on a purple velvet cover atop an old table. There was a small gold coin, a silver necklace with a large pendant and a mysterious crystal ball. Appearing mysteriously from behind him, the shopkeeper had told him that those three objects were instruments of hypnosis possessing varying levels of power. He also told him that he could pick one of them to take home for free in hopes of generating more business. Eric was not one to say no to free stuff, so he collected the gold coin from the table and slipped it in his pocket. Eric was now home. The shopkeeper had explained to Eric how to work the coin. Eric was by no means convinced it would work, but he didn't have anything to lose by trying. So when his sister, Rachel came into his room, he decided he would test it out on her.
"Hey Rachel, check this out." said Eric
"What is it?" asked Rachel
Eric held up the coin and flipped the latch. The coin began spinning rapidly in his hand. Rachel was quickly entranced.
"From now on, whenever I say something followed by the word lock, that something will become locked. If it's a body part, it will freeze in place. If it is a memory or something about yourself, you will be unable to remember it. If it is a person, you will not remember who they are. If it is an emotion, you will not be able to feel it. If it is an article of clothing or something on your person, you will be unable to remove it. If it is an action, you will be unable to perform it. A lock will remain until I say the word release." commanded Eric
