Eric left the room and went downstairs again. Odd, Eric thought. I could have sworn I was in my bedroom when Jason came in. Oh well. He shrugged. Maybe he was recalling some other time when his friend came over.
When Eric got downstairs, though, he saw that Jason wasn't there. He saw his mom, who was currently in the kitchen. "Mom? Where did Jason go?"
"Jason? Who's that?"
Eric began to get worried. Did he accidentally change reality more than he wanted to? He ran back up to his bedroom and looked at Jason's stats on the MasterPC program. In the description box, he saw that because of Jason's abnormality, he was part of a local carnival. In this new reality that he had inadvertently created, Jason and Eric were never friends.
