Into the subconscious world of virtual reality

For 8 years I was kept in the dark. I was fueling the machine which takes away the human spirit. Locked in this world I willing accepted my sentence to a forsaken life. I am speaking of the world of Online Gaming. As other infamous virtual worlds are famous for, this one drained my soul until I took the red pill. Everything around me died in the world of the real.

As the illusion of my virtual life unfolded, I found it strangely familiar to the real world. I found comfort from my success in my prison. I would strive for things parallel to reality; more currency, a better mode of transport, an upgraded style of living and more affluent status. It was not until the hand of the real world grasped my throat and shoved a red pill in my mouth, that I was truly free.

I am still on my journey in the world of the real. My understanding of life over the last 8 years is a blurred vision of pure confusion. Did these things happen in my prison of virtual reality or the real world? I am unclear at times. What I know about my transition may help those of you who are yet to receive any pills at all.

I traded my status as a virtual lord to become a forgotten peasant. I traded vast wealth to be as poor as the soil in a desert. I traded my army of followers only to rely on the kindness of strangers. At the end of my transition I found myself unknown to everyone around me, poor and alone. I am in an unfamiliar world that has found itself a path around me, and I am FREE!

Free to explore new things like "air" and "sunlight" I discovered that the noise I Miss-took for thunder in my virtual prison was actually the sound of children. Other discoveries were soon to follow. Did you know if you have a woman in your home, there is a good chance you are married? If you are an online gamer, I encourage you to take the red pill voluntarily. The hand that forces it can be less forgiving than yourself.

What is the hand? The hand is divorce, neglected children, friends who are distant and even distance from the maker himself. The hand is what you value as a human. It comes for you and picks you up to show you the red pills. If you do not take them you may be stuck in your prison forever.
