Summary
A middle-aged writer is disenchanted with his tyrannical wife, his disrespectful teenage son,
and his life in general. His teenage nephew suddenly dies in a car accident caused by the
writer's abusive brother, who was driving drunk, who dies as well along with the nephew's
gentle, kind mother. Amongst the boy's effects, the writer finds a word processor, seemingly
cobbled together from a dozen different sources, with the startup message stating "Happy
birthday, Uncle Richard", revealing that it was intended as a birthday gift for the main character.
At home, the writer discovers that the processor has the mysterious ability to affect reality, but
the electronics in the patchwork machine are brittle and will not function for long. While in the
middle of testing the processor, Richard's son Seth returns home alongside his obnoxious band
members. Overhearing his son badmouthing him, Richard deletes him, which retroactively
erases his existence. His bandmates are gone, his room is empty and every trace of him ever
living there is gone. When his wife returns home, he finds she is now even fatter than when she
left, the result of never having any children. After she vocally abuses him, he deletes her as well.
With the processor now rapidly deteriorating, Richard impulsively rewrites reality, making the
nephew his own son, and his mother his wife, moments before the processor irreparably breaks.
He turns around, finding the nephew alive once again, and now calling himDad.
