As an ordinary college sophomore student, Alec Norman always focused on making sure he get good grades to graduate in flying colours. While Alec's school project demanded that he bought a Virtual Reality headset, he stumbled on a pawn shop and met an old man who gifted him a retro VR headset, a headset which he accepted begrudgingly. What he didn't know was that the VR headset he brought to his home would change the way he understood reality forever. Inspired from the novel 48 Hours a Day!
Alec woke up with a pounding heart. He looked around his hostel in wariness like someone has invaded it. He thought he felt very uncomfortable. However, before he could process his thoughts, his phone dinged. It was a message from his father.
"Morning son. I know this was an early notice, but I would love you to come home after you are done with your papers. It's been two years since you were here, and the family misses you. Good luck with your papers".
Alec felt a little complicated after reading the SMS. He felt that this was not like his father. For some reasons, he has suddenly missed him. He wanted to call him, but he immediately dismissed the idea.
