My Digital Mind

Today was the day, the day I 100%’ed my game. As soon as I woke up, I brushed my teeth and washed my face thinking to myself: “This is going to be wild!”, little did I know what would happen next. I sat behind screen, opening my game, ready to play but suddenly, a blinding light flashed before my eyes and made me feel weird almost not feeling at all… After a while my surroundings calmed down, and I could see around me, but I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had entered my favorite video game. I was in Pokémon, my favorite game. I suddenly thought I was hallucinating, this just couldn’t be real, yet I was standing in the middle of my character’s home. “I should try to live in this new world.” I thought. Since I had no clue as to how to go back neither did I want to return. Even though I had a good and fun life with many friends in the real world, I wanted to stay in this place, away from my problems, and in the middle of fun and joy. This hypnotizing effect lingered lasted for a long while in my mind, soon forgetting the very thought of leaving this place. I won fights after fights, got many new companions, slowly forgetting life outside as if this was where I have lived my whole life. One day “Where do you come from?”, “What is your hometown?” my friend asked me. Just as I was about to answer Pallet Town something clicked… All my memories from the real world started rushing to my head like a flood of information. “I… I don’t know” I answered. Unsatisfied by my answer “What!? How do you not know where you were born?” he said in a curious and mocking tone. “I can’t remember…”,” I’m going to sleep.” I replied. As I was walking down the street “Where was I born?” I kept asking myself and I kept looking for an answer. The next day “I’ll remember!” I yelled as I woke up. I brushed my teeth and washed my face thinking to myself: ” This is going to be perfect”, “At last I was remembering my past”. Throughout the day I remembered my real life. At the end of the day right in front of the bed “I’ll find a way out!” I said to myself. Even if it took years.
