Jacob didn’t bother to pay too much attention in class that day. His mind was too busy thinking up all of the possibilities and what ifs that game could also do. It seemed as if his classes would never end. Jacob’s best friend Tim noticed his odd behavior.
"What’s up?" Tim asked as they sat side by side in study hall. It was the last class of the day. Most students took this time to finish up their assigned homework so they could have more free time at home. Jacob finished his homework in record time and he was sure he answered all the questions right.
"You got to come over and see this new game I got. You will never believe me if I just told you." Jacob whispered back.
"Yeah." Tim said smiling. He started to wonder how good it was or if it might of been an X-rated one. He wondered as he looked at Jacob.
"Tell me more on the way to your house." Tim said then returned to his homework.
As they entered Jacob’s room and set their bags down, Tim was disappointed that it wasn’t an X-rated game. He wasn’t sure if even he even wanted to see this Sim’s type game Jacob had, but there was something Jacob was holding back on him.
After booting his computer back up and loading the game again, Jacob said, "Watch the bed."
Feeling stupid, Tim looked at the bed and right in front of his eyes, the sheets changed color from green to deep purple.
"How did you do that?" he asked, looking at Jacob and his computer.
His jaw dropped, on the screen were characters of two boys. One was sitting at a computer named Jake and other was named ‘Friend 1’.
"Watch again." Jacob said, moving his mouse around again.
Tim jumped slightly as he saw a bunk bed pop into place. The old bed simply vanished.
"Whoa." Tim said then walking around it.
"What else can it do?" Tim said now walking over to Jacob’s computer.
"Don’t know. Lets see" Jacob said as he click on other items and options. They had a blast changing Jacob’s room around. Their options were limited, but they managed to change it into a much better looking room. Before it was done in style for young kids. Jacob was going to ask his parents to change a few things like the kiddy wallpaper and old carpet. It was way too childish for him since he was becoming a teen.
"Better change it back now. Before your mom or dad come home" Tim said as he looked all around the room.
"Don’t have to change it back" Jacob said then saving his changes.
"What do you mean?" Tim asked.
"The game changes people’s mind." Jacob answered back.
"No one will know, but us?" Tim asked as he saw the save process finish.
"Yup." Jacob said with a smile.
"Can I get a copy?" Tim asked wondering how long it would take to install on his home computer.
"Sure.” Jacob replied as he looked for the zip file the game came from. It was gone and game was too big to burn to disk when it was fully extracted."
"It’s gone." Jacob said then logging on to the Internet.
‘404 error’ displayed on webpage were he saw the game file last night.
"It’s not there anymore." Jacob said to Tim as they waited.
"Dang." Tim said when he saw the error.
