*AAAAGH MY HEAD! It feels like it's getting torn in two* He slowly opens his eyes as his head throbs, his hand slowly massaging his temple. *What happened last night* He is trying to remember but can't seem to come to a conclusion. He starts to look around but he is in a unfamiliar but familiar setting. He is sitting in a comfortable leather chair, a small coffee table with a glass of water sits on his right side. In front of his a bald badass that looks like Laurence Fishburne in his Morpheus outfit.

The Laurence Fishburne look-a-like starts his speech. "Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life—that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?" The young man nods. This is feeling familiar like he's seen this situation before or at least something like it somewhere.

Laurence asks "Do you want to know what it is?" The young man nods as he slowly remembers. This is a scene from the matrix and he can't believe this is Laurence in front of him. The young man had been a fan of his for a long time, but he doesn't want to interrupt his flow.

Laurence moves his hand playing with a small metal tin. "The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work … when you go to church … when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." He stops playing with the tin.

"That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage. Born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind." Laurence takes a deep breath "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." He then takes out two pills, one of which is red, the other of which is blue

"This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends; you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." The young man is about to say something then Laurence interrupts. "Remember, all I'm offering is the truth, nothing more"

"So uh thanks for the speech but where am I? And why am I wearing these I don't remember putting them on." He says as he looks down at the clothes they were the exact clothes Keanu Reeves wore. Laurence looks amused. "You followed me here and you do not know where you are? As to what you are wearing perhaps you just felt like wearing clothes today." The young man nods and gets up, turns around. He then proceeds to walk out the door. Only to return through the other one on the opposite side. The young man stops and looks back to see himself looking back through the door.

"I'm looping?" He walks through and see's a window takes the chair and smashes the window and jumps through. Only to land in the chair. Morpheus "So what will it be? Blue pill or the Red?" The young man sighs and takes the red one and swallows it. He didn't drink it down like neo did. "You happy now?" The young man blacks out and wakes up again this time, he's on a ship. There's a kid in a straw hat and a ugly, tall, fat woman with a bludgeon in her hands. The kid in the straw hat looks at him. "Will you join my crew?"

The young man remembers this too. "Sure, anything to get away from this fat piece of lard." The kid in the straw hat laughs loudly. He blacks out again. Time passes, he can't remember how many scenes he's done or how many he just fucked over or changed. Some were repeated once or twice. Right now he is in N7 Armor in front of the Illusive man and he is jamming a syringe into his neck. "Nope not gonna sacrifice myself. You are going to make my choice for me." As the illusive man screams in agony. He is changing into a husk with the reaper code and it's glowing green. "I'm gonna make sure the best ending comes out and fuck the dogshit out of Tali. She was always the cutest out of the girls you could have as a love interest." He then proceeds to toss the glowing husk into the pit and everything turns green.

He once again blacks out but as he's opening his eyes once again he hears clapping and cheers. Applause coming from all around him. "Thank you soul contestant number XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXX. You have entertained us long enough." He see's a cheerful man in a nice tuxedo suit holding a old timey microphone. "I'm dead aren't I?" The man he presumes to be a gameshow host. "You are correct! It's nice to see someone get it on there first time around! So here's the situation you're looking at. You have played our newest segment we call choices! Every scene a new choice! You have been the most entertaining contestant we've had so far. So you have four options."

The Gameshow host gestures as four curtains drop down. "Behind curtain! Number! One! We have a get into heaven free card! Yes that's right! A much coveted get into heaven free card! No waiting. No Judgement. Go past Go and get out of here!" The host gestures and the curtain reveals a golden gate attached to two marble pillars and no one around to deny him entry.

"Behind curtain numbah two! We have Reincarnation! Modified slightly to provide you're audience more entertainment but ultimately still you're choice!" The curtain moves aside and reveals a doorway the slowly opens to reveal a casino.

"Behind curtain nuuuuumber three we have transmigration! It's less entertaining but it has more options to choose from!" Curtains draw apart to reveal a sliding door that opens up to a lab.

"AAAAAnd last but not least we offer you a job with us! The benefits are to die for. Anything you could ever desire at you're finger tips, and once you finish working for us, you will have five count them five wishes!" He waves his arm and a office door appears and opens. "So what will it be?"
