 I walked scaling the sidewalks of New York City, I had lost everything. The grey sky loomed closely daring to rain.

"One step... two steps...." I counted my steps quietly to myself to keep balance. I was not afraid anymore because I realized that life was as fragile as paper so I tested the limits.

A shot in the dark rang out, it stabbed nearby pass goers ears and made their heart lope out. My world started to close but then... I started in my bed again

"Perhaps I was in a dream" I concluded lifting myself from my bed but something felt different. The sun was shining through the blinds that struggled to block it out. I hobbled into the bathroom to get ready as most do in the morning.

But the problem was that the scene continued to play out in my head. When I was lost in my own thoughts I tripped over laundry I kept sedentary on my floor and smacked my hand on the sharp corner of my dresser.

I did not notice the blood that poured from my hand until I came back to see it on the floor. As a natural reaction, I checked my hand knowing I had injured it earlier but there was no scar or mark.

Don't take me for an idiot because that is certainly what I am not. I realized something was wrong so I repeated the trial cutting my hand and ending with the same result as before.

Was I a god? A ghost perhaps? As I questioned myself and my entire past, I saw the furniture and walls materializing as paper. Had I never noticed this before, everything looked the exact same.

It hit me just then, I was the main character. Now I knew I could do whatever I wanted.

I ran downstairs and passed my mother who was concerned for my future whereabouts. I ceased and focused on her going back to cooking and like magic it happened.

"Shall I use my power for good or bad.." I questioned myself. Then it hit me, imagine all of the power I could gain. I grabbed my skateboard that was old and sketchy, imagined it was better and it happened. I was not surprised this time, just impressed.

I went down to the streets, obviously I was not going to school when I had a literal power. It started with killing rats on the street, or stealing food from corner shop owners. But my passion began to evolve to something much larger.

With time I diverted to blessing people and killing others. On the street they called me Jesus because I was so powerful.

My people began to worship me, people who didn't would be killed. I could make stars explode in the sky and send waves destroying cities. I could make galaxies and space ships.

They bowed down to me on the streets out of respect... and soon you will too... as soon as you see the paper.
