Word Processor of the Gods

"Word Processor of the Gods" is a short story by Stephen King first published in the January 1983 issue of ''Playboy'' magazine under the title "The Word Processor", and collected in King's 1985 collection ''Skeleton Crew''.
==Plot summary==

A middle-aged writer is disenchanted with his tyrannical wife, his disrespectful teenage son, and his life in general. He receives the gift of a custom-built word processor from his nephew, a teenage electronics genius. Unfortunately, the 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 boys 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, and 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, she finds she is now even fatter than when she left, the result of never having any children, and 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 the mother his wife, moments before the processor irreparably breaks. He turns around, finding the nephew alive once again, and now calling him Dad.
