"Dare".
The silence that followed was eery. It made Jenny dubious about how highly implausible the game truly was. What if it wasn't just a rumor? What if Kyle actually held the reins? If that was so, he could make her do anything; like sleep with him or ruin her life beyond repair. Trying to convince herself that those doubts were stupid, the cheerleader swallowed. "What now, huh?". The boy on the other side of the line sighted.
"Listen, this isn't easy for me, but I guess I have to break it to you at last", Kyle said, in a much deeper voice. "I had a crush on you since we started high school together. Guess I never worked up my courage to tell you. Until now, you know? Until I got to role the dice". Suspecting a pathetic troll of yet another boy who fell in love with her looks, Jenny rolled her eyes.
"Didn't you say you were some freshman?", she asked.
"See, I couldn't even tell you it's me. I'm actually Kyle Bradner". Just now his voice sounded familiar. Kyle had been in her parallel class for four years.
"Not interested, creep", Jenny said and was about to hang up, but Kyle intervened.
"I want you to know that I could make you do anything I want", he said. "But to prove my devotion towards you I'll grant you the ultimate gift. I dare you to become ultipotent, being able to archive and do absolutely anything you imagine. You'll receive the infinite and absolute power of God and be in control of every aspect of reality and the universe. The only thing you won't be able to do is getting knowledge out of nowhere or make yourself smarter or change your mind, so you'll still think like a human and not some all-knowing entity. If you've changed your opinion about me, call or just visit me". Kyle abruptly hung up. Jenny looked at her phone as if she had never seen one before. Nothing of what he had said made any rational sense. Discounting the call as just a stupid boy's prank, she remembered how late it already was, and that she still couldn't find her sock and undies.
"Dammit", she swore. She'd miss the bus and had to go by bicycle if she didn't hurry. "Where the hell are they?". When she approached her closet, she tried to fantasize how it would actually be to be all-powerful. To play God. The things she would do. Jenny first felt stupid when she jestingly pointed at her bare foot to pretend she could make her sock appear just like that, but soon lost the ability to think in words. The white, long sock magically appeared with a glow of bright light on her foot. Jenny had only seen such miracles in movies, where they belonged, not in the real world! Yet there it was, and Jenny knew what she felt and saw. More curious than shocked, the cheerleader teen faced her full-length mirror and inspected her. She looked as always; like the hottest girl in school. But she felt different. She didn‘t know how to spell it out, but something inside her had loomed up. An unfamiliar warmth spread out across her body, a confidence bigger than herself. Coincidently, the far more dominant feeling, a stimulating bliss took over. All her concerns, the fears and worries vanished for the time being.
"This can't be true", she whispered and reluctantly pointed at her crotch, where her undies instantly materialized without a millisecond delay. "This is insane". With just the slightest smile edging her lips, Jenny didn't even know how to react. Still without a top to cover her bra, the teenager imagined to wear a silver sparkling sequin minidress. Her skirt vanished into nothingness but left her in exactly the bodyhugging dress her mind had made up not a second ago. "Holy shit! This is amazing!". Without a gesture a diamond necklace worth several millions of dollars coiled around her neck, just because she wanted one. Shiny high-heels manifested themselves on her feet and her long hair smoothened and changed color, from blond to blue to green to pink, whatever she imagined. Realizing that she could change just about anything of her looks, she made every tiny hair from her neck downwards disappear and freed her skin from every mole, wrinkle and spot.
"Can it be?", she asked herself and turned away from the mirror, gazing through her room. Her double bed shook, reshaped and in a flash contained a hot bubbling whirlpool instead of a mattress. Smiling, Jenny glanced at her armchair which first turned into Nutella, then to glass and ultimately into diamond just for the heck of it. Beyond explanation her wardrobe suddenly was walk-on-able and contained ten times as much clothing as before, occupying the space where actually her parent's bedroom should be. Jenny stretched out her arms with a wide smile and the four walls moved away around her. Her room got wider every second by ten feet to all sides until it was larger than the ground floor in the inside, but exactly the same size on the outside. Logic didn't concern Jenny anymore as she stood in a hall as big as a football field.
"This will be fun", she giggled with her palm facing upwards. Above it, a very real, very accurate and inhabited copy of the planet earth in the size of a basketball was created by her teenage thoughts with no effort at all. Admiring the details, the teenager turned God began her infinite reign by starting to plan what to change about her world.
