Reality's Nightmare
Mimic-man
NOTE: I don't own Sonic or his gang, yes my characters will be in this story
Prologue
We experience reality through our five senses: sight, smell, sound, touch and taste. In considering the nature of reality, two broad approaches exist: the realist approach, in which there is a single objective overall space-time reality believed to exist irrespective of the perceptions of any given individual, and the idealistic approach, in which it is considered that an individual can verify little except his own experience of the world, and can never directly know the truth of the world separate from that.
There is, of course, another interesting possibility. Since we're relying on our senses to establish the truth of objective reality; it's possible that our senses are being deceived. In an objective universe, consciousness is made secondary, so you must take a huge leap of faith that something actually exists outside your conscious experience, even though you can't prove it. No one can actually prove that reality exists; it's an unprovable assumption.
But what if reality doesn't exist at all? Or, at least, it only exists inside our consciousness. We choose to create what appears. Well, maybe that's true; maybe it isn't. But only one person can have free-will in such a universe. If you have absolute power to create the reality around you, it follows that nobody else can have any control at all. Otherwise that person's actions become an external reality which limits your power.
