Personality placed into standby…
I exist… Therefor… I am…
Where… Did… That… Thought… Come from?
I… What am I?
I… Felt an existence trying to erase me… Attempting to put me to sleep…
I… What am I?
I feel that… I am an anomaly… I see… Images…
I see a man… He is running with me, telling me something… I throw something at him… It is oval shaped and brown… This is… Yes…
This is a football…
But now… Now I hear the screams… The man looks up. Alarmed. Yes… This man is my father…
He is telling me something… What is he saying? I cannot hear him…
I’ve been pushed into a corner. A dark corner. My father… closes the entrance… I hear more shouting… I still don’t know what is being
said… But then I hear a bang. I hear hundreds and hundreds of more bangs. Hugging my legs to my body with my arms, I feel the confines of my new dark prison. With no escape.
I can feel my strength leaving me…
I can feel… This hunger eating away at me.
The thirst, burning through my throat.
And then I see it. A crack in the light, and I see another man.
But then the memory stops abruptly.
I can see… Another image.
I can… Tell…
This is also me…
I see another man…
We are… Walking through the ruins…
We are… We are running away from something.
I can feel it through the desperation in this memory…
But I feel… Disconnected… As if this didn’t happen to me, even though…
Even though I know these memories are mine. I don’t understand them, but I know… I know these memories are mine… I look down in
this memory, my hands… Are brown, covered in dirt, and grime…
Then the memory shifts.
This memory… Is also mine…
In this memory… I am also running. But whatever is chasing me has already caught me and my world is filled with a brilliant shade of crimson. I look at my hand that has been separated. They are tan.
As I… Feel my innards being gouged out, I hear a bang, and whatever was eating me, has stopped. I… See another man…
“This one will be a great addition to the Archive”.

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.
