"Why are you doing this,?" Mike asked, a bit of fear creeping into his voice.
"Relax," I said, "I just wanted to see how a mortal would react."
"Well, I'm kinda freaked out. You turned my roommate into a chick! How is that possible?"
"I told you, I am not bound by the laws of this universe. Your world is just a sandbox for me."
"I think I've had enough of your sandbox. Y-you're not gonna do to me what you did to Brian, are you?"
"Of course not... unless that's what you want. I'm not malicious, I'm just curious. In fact..." Mike saw the look in my eyes, and that scared him a bit more.
"What... what are you doing? Don't mess with me, man!"
"Chill out, dude," I said, letting some of the human Mike seemed to know seep into my voice. "I'm not messing with you. I'm giving you the opportunity of a lifetime."
"What to you mean?"
"I'm going to give you powers like mine. Or, I should say, powers close to mine. You'll be able to alter reality at your will. Change anybody or anything. But you'll only have a limited sphere of influence."
"How limited?"
"Well, my powers extend across the universe. I'm sorry to say that I can only give you enough power to make changes on your own measly planet."
"So... I'll be able to change anything on the planet... however I want... just by thinking about it?"
"You already can. I actually gave you the power the second you walked into the room. I figured I should tell you about it before you really screw up. So have fun! And I'll be watching..." The lights flickered off, and when the came back on Mike was alone in the room. His friend... or who he thought was his friend... no longer existed.
Mike sat for a moment. He didn't feel any different. Then, Brian came out of his, er, her room.
"Mike, can you help me pick out a bra to wear to class tomorrow? I've got a big exam and I really want to impress Professor Wilson."
Mike stared for a moment, and thought about the possibilities before him
