The Orb

“What the hell is that?” I asked as my friend Jennifer pulled a weird glowing orb from her bag.

“It’s magic, Dan” She said, “It can literally warp reality.”

“Bull. It’s a prop from that play you’re in.”

“Twenty four hours ago, I wasn’t an actress. I wasn’t even a woman! I was a guy; your best friend, Jason.”

“Come on, Jenn. No way you were a guy. I mean, I hate to admit this, but I’ve had a crush on you for a long time. No way I had a crush on a guy!”

“You didn’t. I’m telling you.It bends reality. Even your memories. But I think that crush was a rather unfortunate side effect that I may have to fix.”

“Fix? What do you mean fix?”

The orb glowed. I was trying to figure out what Jenn meant by fixing the crush I had on her. There was no way I had a crush on her; I mean, it wasn’t like I was a lesbian.

“You know I’m not gay, right, Jenn?”

“Oh, I know, Dana. And we’re gonna have a good time going out tonight to pick up some guys.”
