The display now shows a nine-year-old female Asian. You begin to think, 'Oh what the hell - it's just a game'.
The first two slots - AGE and RACE - are filled with '9 years' and 'Asian'. On a whim, you retype RACE to read 'elf'. The picture changes, with the skin becoming pale and the hair turning silver, the ears becoming pointed and eyebrows arching.
For HAIR COLOR and EYE COLOR, you enter ''lavendar' and 'violet', and the image changes appropriately. NATIONALITY you keep as 'American', but for BUILD you enter 'precocious' and the elf-child develops small breasts and lavendar pubic hair. You make HEALTH 'extraordinary' and APPEARANCE as 'Gorgeous', and she becomes incredibly beautiful. For INTELLIGENCE you put in 'genius' and for a giggle put PERSONALITY as 'nymphomaniac'. For the two large boxes titled SPECIAL ABILITIES and UNUSUAL CHARACTERISTICS, you decide to see how far this simulation goes and list magical spells from your Dungeons & Dragons game and the ability to grow a penis and grow wings at will.
"Now lets see how good this game is," you say and hit enter - and the room blanks out.
When you recover, you're in a bare room with a door labeled 'exit'. You stand up and reach for the doorknob, and realize that the doorknob is level with your shoulder. Also, your pants have fallen off.
Feeling your ears and hair, then lifting up your shirt, you discover that you've become the elf-girl you designed in the computer game!
