Mark had not been working long, but he was already tired of his job. He sat at a desk all day checking for emails and occasionally filling out forms. A total waste. As usual this caused him to spend more time on his phone than his work, and today was no different. No different except he had a new distraction. Mark's phone had recently gained some new features after an unplanned visit to an unusual shop. The phone's screen presented a sentence and invited Mark to edit it however he wished. It read:
A man named Dave approaches to engage in boring conversation.
Mark was a bit shocked at first. Dave was a coworker of his and he loved to waste time aimlessly careening from one line of thought to another, but how did the phone know? Before Mark could ponder this, Dave showed up as predicted.
"Hey there Mark, what's going on with you today? You won't believe what..."
Mark was already rolling his eyes. Looking back down at his phone he edited the sentence:
A man named Dave approaches to fail in boring conversation.
Mark then realized that he no longer heard Dave's droning voice. He looked up and saw Dave motion as if trying to speak, but failing. Did the phone really change reality through Mark's edit? He checked his screen again to find a new sentence.
The speechless man is confused.
The sentence became
The speechless woman is confused.
In an instant Dave's body changed completely. His clothing became loose as his hair lengthened greatly, and his pants eventually fell to the floor as his chest visibly expanded into a pair of shapely breasts. The phone really did work. Mark's boring office days were over.
