Della’s Escape! (Elliot is here, too).

Elliot Rowan was an average youth. Newly eighteen, he had graduated high school with no real plans; all he knew is, he loved escaping to fantastic worlds through video games, where he could be something more than a pale, average, midwestern nerd. Elliot had made a name for himself in the video game community — but was better known by his gamertag, CloudJumperEli. Elliot wanted to seek a career in his passion, but his family believed that he should pursue a “practical” job field, continually mentioning his less than stellar grades throughout his time in school. Amid his few college invitations, one day Elliot receives a letter from Peri-Helix Entertainment — only the greatest, most prestigious game manufacturer in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE! “Dear Elliot Rowan - We here at Peri-Helix Entertainment are constantly searching for the best of the best in everything we do. As you must know, Peri-Helix follows all activity among our games to ensure we give the best experiences possible. Elliot, we believe you are a star candidate for a new program we’ve started under our Human Resources department, titled GEAR. We’ve carefully selected smart, skilled, and devoted talent such as yourself to participate. Please respond to this invitation via email; GEAR@perihelix.entertainment.com We look forward to your answer.” Hooo S#!T, is this real? Of course Elliot accepted! He signed on and shipped out within the week from his home in Minnesota to the head of Peri-Helix Entertainment located in Los Angeles, California. His dreams were being realized! The only question Elliot had: What does GEAR stand for?
