The Drawing Board

When drawing skills get a whole new meaning

Chapter 1 by Joe132 Joe132

You get home from work, tired and hungry. You still can't believe your boss made you stay past 7pm again today. As if you had nothing better to do! Good thing your mom left you some leftover from dinner, she even kept it warm in the oven. You eat it quickly, then head up to your room, eager to finally try your new PlayBox game. You enter your room, grab your controller and turn on your console. You play a few minutes, sitting on your bed when something suddenly grabs your attention.

There, on your night table, lies a portable white board. You would have barely even noticed it if it didn't start shining the second you laid eyes on it, the golden glow growing to an almost blinding intensity. You notice some letters starting to appear on the white surface, but you can't quite make what they write. The light then disappears as quickly as it appeared, leaving behind a message on the white board, written in black letters:

"When pictures and letters, on my surface, laid down
The truths of the world can be changed, all must follow
From physics to phyche, everything has to bow
For you are now god of the skies and all below"

"This must be some kind of joke." You get back to your game, ignoring the message on the board. "I must just be tired, maybe one of my sisters left it there as a prank."

You play for a few hours, then turn it off and start getting ready for bed. You get out of your room to brush your teeth. When you come back, the board has moved. You move closer to it, then realize the letters are now shining in gold. You pick up the board and the marker pinned to its side, and the letters fade out, leaving the board as white as snow. Thinking back on the message, your tired mind decides to try to do as the board instructed and write down something you would wish to change in your life. You figure, at worst it's a prank and nothing will happen, at best... well let's just see what happens first. You start to write.

"There is a 100$ bill in my pocket."

You then reach inside your pocket. Nothing. You search every part of your jeans, and still nothing. "It was all a prank after all," you think. After putting away the board, you undress and go to bed. After the long day you've had, you start sleeping as soon as your head hits your pillow.
