Description
It wasn't until she started unpacking the box marked "Computer" that it occurred to her that it had been almost a year since she had last played The Culling. She carefully lifted her virtual reality helmet out of the carton and set it on her parent's kitchen table. "My kitchen table, now," she reminded herself. This was her first apartment, the thing she had been working towards. She had been working full-time for eight months now, taking online classes at night, seeing a therapist and actually participating in therapy. If she was being honest, all of it was scary. The better she did, the more there was to lose. She dug around in the box, finally finding the thing she was looking for, the game itself. It was time, she decided. Time to go back and see what her alter ego had been up to.
