[info] E U I N D L S O S Copyright 1996, 1997 by C.E. Forman Genre: science fiction Difficulty: ^^^&& [description] Reality is so... unreal. The tangle of observations woven about it, humankind's utter lack of consensus, phases it to fit individual desires. Becoming and unbecoming, back and forth eternally, as it paradoxically coexists with and within infinite variations of itself... At least, that's what always surfaces in your mind whenever your own perception of reality is altered. Which is to say, ten or fifteen times a day. But it's your job, working to someday entertain others with new observations, new experiences, new realities. And after all, you signed up for the Project (as you well remember, even though it was close to five years ago), so you suppose it's entirely your fault if you don't like it. Which, when you think about it, you realise you do. Justy's voice reaches out to you from somewhere you can't see. "Okay, this should be it. One final test run to check any overload potential, and this world is done! I'm starting her up." A loud CLANK, and the Sphere begins spinning, with you inside it. "Brace yourself!" Bright lights. Pain. From somewhere off in your mind's distance, a telltale splash. Then, as the resounding thrums fade, a distorted ripple sweeps your vision clear, and all traces of the laboratory vanish from your senses. All five of them. Wiped clean, twitching, anxious for new input. Virtual reality has become reality. [versions] DELUSNS.Z5=Release 4 / Serial number 971121 [options] ARTWORK=0 CLUES=0 VERSIONS=0 [eof]
