Jon read the notepad aloud: "Jon has fox ears and a tail."
"But that's impossible," Jon said. "I've had these my entire life, you're always saying how cute you think it is. I even remember how in grade school that bully used to always tug on my tail when I wasn't looking."
Karyn grinned. "I told you it works! It's incredible, it's as if it rewrites history so that everything was always like that."
Jon thought for a moment until he realized how much was possible with the notepad. Logically he knew he must have just been changed, but he remembered as if he'd been born with fox ears and a tail.
