The Lost Kreme #8: Remote Possibilities: King of the Boob Tube by Kris P. Kreme
Occasionally a tale from the Kreme will be lost in the couch cushions of time, forgotten about and overlooked, but much more than a very special remote control has been retrieved this time, and it will bring all new meaning to the words Boob Tube.
In the King house, men never ruled the roost, at least until the day Casey decided to have some playful fun with a prototype remote control from his dad’s company.
Intending only to mess with his bitchy stepsister, he quickly learned that somehow this remote can literally select and control almost anything, including things no teenage boy can resist playing around with.
In the King household, no man was ever really king, a home under the control of the women who lived there, but thanks to the arrival of a very special new product ripe for testing, and an incredibly bored teenage boy, everything may just change for the better.
Lawrence King was a modern scientist, not mad, but equally as zany and off the wall with how he kept his home office. His son Casey was rarely let into the windowless room but on a day when it seems destined to be another dull example of why life sucks sometimes, Casey finds a package for his dad on the doorstep, and even though his dad explains that it’s a top secret prototype from where he works, one Lawrence has been selected to test the functionality of, Casey only sees a pretty standard remote control.
When a call comes in that the entire technology division has been shut down by a glitch in the system and Lawrence needs to head into work for a couple of hours, opportunity strikes to finally change the balance of power in the house. It may just be a remote control, Casey figures, but with his annoying stepsister Willow watching her stupid sappy recorded teen drama shows on television, the remote offers him the perfect power to literally ruin her fun.
It isn’t like the stuck up cheerleader hasn’t ruined his fun plenty of times, insisting on always getting her way, never letting him play his video games when he wants to, occupying the television with truly mind numbing ridiculous dramas. After realizing this universal remote works simply by pointing it and pressing select to choose what it will control, Casey enjoys the frustrated rants as he selects the TV and turns it off in the middle of Willow mindlessly watching it.
But he’s never prepared for what happens during her angry rant when he points the remote at Willow, pressing select. Just like any other lighting or electronic device, the remote actually recognizes female subject – Willow as something it can control. So after pressing mute and laughing as the angry cheerleader keeps silently shouting at him, unaware of anything, Casey has an all new set of options for where his day can go.
Just what will happen when Casey gives in to temptation, using the tint option on the remote to change Willow’s hair color, and is it possible to alter more features of her? How far will Casey take the addictive fun of having a remote that lets him truly be king of much more than the boob tube? And finally what will Lawrence King say or do when he comes home to find his prototype piece of technology not in his private lab of an office?
It’s a Kreme tale lost between the couch cushions of time, but now everyone can get lost in the power of a remote control that really turns on the heat.
