The screen flickered for a moment and then a new page appeared. Ben looked over
the new options on the screen and wondered what to do next:
Please choose one of the options below:
[+] Appearance (AP)
[+] Age (AG)
[+] Gender (GE)
[+] Intelligence (IN)
[+] Personality (PE)
[+] Interests (IR)
[+] Sexual orientation (SO)
[+] Family (FA)
[+] Home (HO)
[+] Career (CA)
[+] Random (10)
Wow, it looked like you could change pretty much anything you wanted to... He
looked over the list excitedly and his eye lingered on "Random (10)".
"I wonder what that could be?" he thought as he maneuvered the mouse over the

Choose one of the options below to change your character:
Or choose a new Random (10)
1. You're a motorcycle trooper in the state police force.
2. You're a porn star in Japan.
3. You're a pet dog in Australia.
4. You're a star high school quarterback.
5. You're a cheerleader for a college football team.
6. You're a schoolgirl in Hong Kong.
7. You're a homemaker in London.
8. You're a construction worker.
9. You're a draft horse in 1930's North Carolina.
10. You're your supervisor at your place of work.
Ben looked over the options and wondered whether to choose one of these or go for
a selection from the custom options at the top of the page. With a thrill of
excitement, Ben decided to try out one of the random 10 options that the website had
created for him first and then go back to the others later.
Ben wondered what was going to happen when he clicked on the link. He supposed
that the site was one of those virtual reality type sites where you can become any
character you want to be. It should be fun to try out some different characters
though, even if it is only on a website.
Making his final choice, Ben moved the mouse over the link and clicked...
