Jon was about to leave his bedroom, to go visit Karyn, but before he could, a pulsing shock wave shot through his bedroom. And right before his eyes, his room began to change.
When it was all done, he looked around with wide eyes. Not only did the contents of his room change, but also the room itself. It was smaller, the closet was cut down in size by half, and the ceiling and walls had cracks running through it.
And Jon was different too. He looked in his mirror and noticed that his clothes were a bit more tattered than before, like he couldn't afford new clothes, or something.
What had happened? He thought that his wish would only change his family's personalities. Not reality itself. But apparently he was wrong.
He wondered which member of his family could have done this. Whoever it was, though, it was obvious now that his family was a lot poorer than they were before. Maybe even at the Lettman level. Derek Lettman was an emo boy at Jon's school and he knew that Derek's family was nearly dirt poor and lived in the "slum" area of town.
Jon left his room, to see what else had changed.
