I could do anything, know anything and go anywhere in the universe.
What shall be the first real test? I wondered to myself.
I walked to a window and looked out onto the neighborhood. "I think I'll make the sky ... pink." Suddenly the sky turned a bold pink color. People working on their lawns looked up at the sky with wide eyes. Cars stopped in the streets and their drivers gaped at the new sky, causing a traffic jam.
Hmm, I thought. It doesn't seem to change everyone's memories like the stone does.
I walked to the TV and changed the channel to a news program. The top story was the sky's sudden shift of color. Apparently, it was causing a mass panic ... worldwide.
Suddenly, I wasn't as interested in being all powerful. I didn't want to start a mass panic.
But maybe I could fix that. Maybe I could make people think the sky was supposed to be pink. I was omnipotent, right? I could do anything I wanted.
But would it be the right thing to do?
