Altered Reality

From Create Your Own Story

Revision as of 13:57, 11 March 2014

You sit in the middle of the room, stunned. In your hand is something you were sure your grandfather would never create - the so called "Reality Marble" he'd been working on his entire life. You're unsure of whether it'd work, and yet all you know is that he was shouting "it's complete! I've done it!" shortly before dying of a stroke.

You know a few details about how it works - after all, he never stopped talking about it. Basically, it'd be possible to alter the fabric of reality in any way you want - whether it be making everyone grow wings or making your favourite fictional characters come to life. You could even become somebody else.

The only caveat is that any change that is made cannot be completely reversed - that is, if you chose to become your best friend, you wouldn't be able to become somebody else. You would, however, be able to adjust aspects of his appearance and abilities.

With this in mind, you begin to ponder what you could do with your new-found reality marble. You first test it by gripping it and imagining that the grass in your lawn would eternally stay short. After a few moments of focusing on your goal, the marble glows and warms in your hand before returning to its original state. You stick your head out the window, and sure enough, the previously long grass now looked freshly trimmed.

The possibilities for what you could do next seem endless.

Do you:

• Change reality to that of a fictional world?
• Become somebody else in the real world? (different from swapping bodies - your old body will still be "you")
• Swap bodies with someone in the real world? (the person you become will now have control over your old body)
• Change the appearance of your own body?
• Make changes to other people?
• Give yourself special abilities?
