Traits and Archetypes By Morpheus This story takes place in the same universe as my story A Game to Change Your Life. Sunday afternoons were a time of peace and quiet, ideal for sitting back and relaxing, without worrying about the stresses from the rest of the week.  Michelle thought that this would be the perfect time to curl up with a good book, go out and catch the latest movie, or simply marathon her favorite shows from Netflix. However, for a college student like Michelle, who wanted to make the most of the education that her parents were paying for, or at least, pass her classes, it was also a great opportunity to study and catch up

By Morpheus Once everyone had returned, Chloe’s dad continued with his turn, landing on a blue space.  “This could be fun,” he said, holding up the trait card that read ‘AIRPLANE PILOT’.  He closed his eyes for a moment, before announcing, “I know how to fly a plane…” “Now, if we only had a plane,” Chloe’s mom pointed out as she picked up the die.  When her piece landed on one of the few gold spaces, she smiled.  “I get a prize…” “What did you get?” Chloe asked her mom. “It says,” her mom answered, reading from the card, “You

By Morpheus The box was a shallow rectangle, only a few inches deep.  Overall, it was about the same size and shape as an average board game box, though just a little larger than most.  It was made of dark wood, with brass hinges and a latch, which all looked old and well used.  It was obviously an antique. Chloe Sanders had just been walking home from school, and had taken a shortcut through the small park down the street from her house, just like she did every day.  However, today, her normal routine had been disrupted, by the presence of this box, which she’d found sitting on an otherwise empty park bench. “Who do you belong

Hannah’s Change By Morpheus Hannah leaned back in her living room chair, dressed in nothing but her bathrobe and a pair of fluffy pink slippers.  She took a languid drag from her cigarette, then casually blew the smoke out overhead.  She watched the smoke with a vague sense of confusion since she didn’t smoke, and had never smoked a cigarette before in her life.  However, in spite of that, she’d woken up a short time ago, craving one. The last time Hannah’s sister Karen had come over to visit, a week ago, she’d accidentally left behind her cigarettes.  Hannah had been tempted to throw the things into the garbag

Elizabeth rolled over and stretched her arm over the bed, then stirred to wakefulness when she realized that Andrea wasn’t asleep beside her.  A moment later, Elizabeth opened her eyes and then remembered that she’d gone to sleep in her own bed last night. “Of course,” Elizabeth mumbled as she sat up in bed, remembering the events of the day before. She remembered confronting Andrea over the most recent changes to her reality…and what happened afterwards.  Elizabeth smiled at the memory of making love to Andrea for half the day, becoming lovers in fact and not just because that was what their new history said

Elizabeth parked her truck in front of the local mall, then looked over at Mark whom she was giving a ride to.  He gave her an odd look, as though he wanted to thank her for it but also as though he was suspicious of her motives for being nice. “I’ll be at the gym for the next two hours,” Elizabeth told him.  “Give me a call on me cell and I can pick you up afterwards…” “Thanks,” Mark said, finally looking relieved. “You know, you are welcome to come with,” she offered, though she knew Mark wouldn’t accept.  Thanks to the reality alterations, her little brother had lost all

“This is awesome,” Mark exclaimed as he stared at the two foot tall hologram of himself. “My QSD is going to revolutionize the medical industry,” Dr. Harwen told him proudly.  “With this device, all you need is one scan to cover all of your medical tests.  Thank you for helping me test it.” “My pleasure, Doc,” Mark responded with a grin as he accepted a small stack of twenty dollar bills from her.  “Anytime.” Dr. Harwen nodded said, “Then I’ll keep you in mind should I need to hire volunteers for any other tests.” “Sure thing,” Mark agreed, then look

The Exchange Device By Morpheus Elizabeth Martin let out a sigh as she knocked on the door of her neighbor’s house.  She glanced back across the street at he own house, thinking that she’d much rather be in her room and chatting with her friends online.  However, this was something she needed to do, and besides, it would only take a couple hours. It had been just a little over a month since Elizabeth had turned sixteen, and she’d been trying to save up the money to buy herself a car.  In fact, her original goal had been to buy a car the day she turned sixteen, though it was taking longer to earn the money than she’d
