The Reality Game
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!
Leave, and Never Come Back
"You came alone", Alec wanted to confirm as his eyes kept sweeping across the park. "Yes, I did. Come on and sit down", the old man said with a smile. Alec looked at him with suspicion, before deciding to sit, but as far away from the old man as possible.
The old man didn't seem to mind as he leaned his cane next to him and locked his fingers together, then he looked at Alec with interest. "It's no doubt you are not from around here, are you?" The old man began.
"I didn't come here for you to interrogate me. I want to get things clear, so I'll ask the questions here", Alec retorted coldly. The old man smiled and said, "Alright, I'll ask one question, and you ask one question. Is that alright with you?"
"Who are you?" Alec began, ignoring his words. The old man removed his eyes from Alec and stared at a nearby tree. "That question is a bit difficult to answer. I am a father of three, a grandfather of nine, with two wives...", Alec impatiently interrupted him.
