In 3D Land

To jump or not to jump?
To take a leap of faith or sit in predictable safety?
To fall in love or into hate?
That is the question.
The road I’m at is forked at a queer angle. The destinations are not certain, and the journey is more than raucous. I'm weak already.
The heart icon on the edge of my screen shows me that I have just a few lives left. Slashed down by betrayals. Mocked by hypocrisy.
My character moves forward.. creeping onto the next villain .. He sits there so oblivious.. so radiant .. so beautiful ..
But this is a game .. He's a just a flicker on my screen. How can I be feeling vulnerable about someone that isnt even here?
I shake myself out of it and resume my crouched position. Stealthily I tighten the grasp on the handle of my sword, my kohl covered eyes sparkling in the medieval sun.
I pick up speed and run towards him, letting out a deep scream from the pit of my stomach. Kicking dirt back, I broke through the still air. I’ve never felt stronger. He turns his face towards me, and in that moment - I freeze.
I lose my balance.
My rapier catapults into the air.
Brown streaks of hair blow across my face.
My heart icons suddenly jumped from 3 to 10. In an instant, I knew he was special.
Pushing his robe’s hood away from his head, he scrambled towards me and knelt a foot away.
‘Give me your hand’ he said, in a foreign accent, perhaps he was from a land far, far away.
My breath turned cold as I pondered on what to do. Shaking, I extended my small hand into his big one, and immediately, felt Goosebumps.
“Hello?! This is a video game – what’s going on?!” shouted my brother from behind. My controller doesn’t work anymore, I stare at my monitor in puzzlement.
The girl slowly gets to her feet and the boy is ignorant of what feelings he just gave birth to in his proposed murderer. Strange, how the hunted became the hunter.
‘Wh-Who are you..?’ muttered the girl softly.
The boy smiled as he whispered into her ear -
‘Your most amazing tragedy.’

In an instant, the lights went out. My brother and I sat there in darkness.
'Damn! I wanna know what happened to 'em freaks.' my sibling exclaimed.
After a pause I thought to myself
'I dont.'
