she’s in disguise
In the small town of Longley, meet Alex, an ordinary teenager who spends all his free time playing video games. Because of this, he spends most of his time going through the challenges of a lonely life. But his world takes an extraordinary turn when, while exploring a cutting-edge virtual reality game, he stumbles across a portal where dreams become reality. In this video game world, Alex finds the charismatic boyfriend of his dreams. The pixels and codes intertwined, creating a pretty interesting love story that transcends the boundaries of the video game world. Every moment with his virtual boyfriends seems to become more and more real by the day, and it starts to fill the void in Alex’s pitiful existence. However, the line between virtual and real life starts to blur when Alex crosses paths with a familiar face in the real world. The once seemingly unattainable popular jock of Longley High School now seems to catch Alex's eye every time he sees him. And there Alex had a startling realization, he looked awfully similar to Alex's virtual boyfriend. As Alex tries to grapple with his delusion and the complexities of the double realities he seems to live in, questions start to emerge. Could the popular jock truly be his virtual boyfriend? Should Alex probably get off the video games and go touch some grass? Will the jock recognize Alex? Or will Alex be compelled to go back into the shadows of his ordinary life, leaving behind the enchanting love story that briefly lit up his world? This is she’s in disguise, by yours truly.
