I suddenly found myself standing in an alley next to a grocery store; around 6:30 at night. Looking around, I realized that the house I imagined myself in was all a dream. That being said, I was shocked to see my ‘family’ walking past me as they entered their car.
I couldn’t quite explain it; but seeing them probably stirred up a longing for family and I found myself imagining they were my family. I’ve been on the run for over 5 months, fearing that my parents and siblings wouldn’t understand my new ability. My name changed every time I altered reality; but it was originally John Henault and I was a 16 year old boy.
During my five month life on the road, I had to learn to control my ability quickly to stay alive. It was not enough to just change my age or gender, I had to also change my student ID to another ID or a driver's license and fill my wallet with money. There was no telling where the money came from and I felt bad taking money from some stranger but I needed it to keep myself alive and my 'talent' a secret, if you can call it that.
As the family drove off, I realized I was getting hungry. Looking around, to my annoyance, I saw the only place was a club down the road. Walking down the road, I turned to walk into the club when the bouncer stood in front of me. “Sorry kid, you’re too young for this place.”
I was about to protest when I realized that I had the form of a 13 year old boy at the moment. Simply nodding, I turned and walked back around the corner. Once I was out of sight, I concentrated on my appearance. By time all was said and done, I had the body of a 22 year old; complete with ID.
Satisfied with my appearance, I smiled and walked back to the club. It wasn’t long before the bouncer let me into the club; without even mentioning the 13 year old who tried to get in.
