Richie was kicking about town bored out of his mind. On a Saturday he should be out with his mates, playing football or video games, maybe watching a movie. Instead his bitch of a 'caregiver' had sent him to the library to pick up some books for all the other boys in the Carlton Orphanage for Boys. Currently there were only 8 boys staying at the orphanage and Richie being the oldest at 13 was expected to look out for all the others. He was sick of it, they were like his little brothers but being a big brother was hard and no fun.
He had managed to pick up 7 books so far when he came across an old dusty one that didn't seem to have a title or a sleeve. Fuck it, he threw it in the basket and headed up to check them out.
"This one doesn't have a marker." The librarian stated dropping it into Richie's book bag. "You can keep that one, the rest are due back in 2 weeks."
"Uh, thanks." Richie nodded and left. He hauled the books back to the orphanage.
---------------
There was a loud commotion when he came home. All 7 other boys came running up and started rummaging in the bag, looking for a book each.
"Easy! One each." Richie laughed as he watched his 'brothers' fight over a Harry Potter and an old Roald Dahl.
The boys ran back to their beds and sat flicking through their books. That left Richie with the unmarked one.
He went to his bed and sat down opening the large tome. It was blank! Closing it he felt completely done over. Damnit, he had nothing to read now and nothing to do!
"What is this book?" He whispered. Reopening the book a passage swirled into being in front of him on the page.
'This book contains the rules of the universe. It can show you anything you wish to know. You can even overwrite in pen and reality will change or events will occur. Only the person who writes in the book will know what changed.'
Richie sat in awe, confused. The hell was this?!
He sat back and thought it through... what should he ask to see...
"Show me stuff I wanna know about the boys in the orphanage." Richie opened the book, his hands shaking.
There in front of him was 8 profile:

Fuck, this was.... he looked around the room and watched the other boys, chatting and reading and playing. He really had no idea what to do next... he had to test it out somehow.
