Gerard clicked the mouse impatiently. “Come on, come on, come on. Refresh already,” he muttered to himself. The computer beeped. A window popped up with the message, “transfers complete.” Gerard frowned at the numbers on the screen. Something wasn’t right. He was in the middle of a virtual bank heist. His computer code was supposed to be stealing a few dollars from thousands of accounts and depositing them in an anonymous separate account. Instead, it appeared to have transferred all of he and his partner’s money to thousands of other people’s accounts. Vera entered. “Are you finished yet? We should really get out of here.” Gerard felt sweat roll down his forehead. The others were going to flip out. “Oh, I’m finished alright,” he said. Vera motioned for him to hurry up. “Then let’s go, genius!” How do the differences in points of view between the characters and the reader create an effect?
