I R I S

For all of the things that I've been through in life, I believe that everyone had their own moment when everything becomes crystal clear. The moment when their lives were about to change forever. Just like a wake up call. For me, it happened to be this special girl... Kira. I couldn't help thinking about the day I met someone who changed me and gave me meaning into my life.

Five years ago, I found myself laying on my couch inside of my apartment. It was 5pm and I just woke up, sober. I remember I felt this pain in my head, after drinking last night. At this time of my life, I wished the day to be over so quickly. At daylight, I wished for the night so I could sleep. I wished I could sleep forever but I couldn't. So, I tried to do anything that could distract me from reality even just for a while, and there was Iris.

Mostly, I would play Iris to fill my sober days. Gaming was my life. Iris was a virtual reality game which was created by a company named AxtonSire. It was a very popular game. Shortly, there were four planets inside the game; Iris, Ronan, Icarus and Sigmund. Each planet had its different legends and perks. Humans were belong to Sigmund. The ultimate mission was to find the lost planet, Iris. The ones who were able to find Iris, would get the prize given by AxtonSire.

I was living in a world of my own... There were also rules and there were guardians. So, there were also punishment for every foul. Playing Iris made me feel like I was somebody, I could be whoever I wanted to be, without the fear of rejection. For the first time in my life, I was not a failure. It made me feel proud and happy. Basically, it was pretty much the only thing that kept me alive. Especially, Kira. But the more I knew her, the more I began to realise that some people are not meant to be together no matter how much they loved each other. Our world were almost collide, almost. That almost, kills me a little inside, every goddamn time.
