Now? The doctor replied I don't know it's all about you.
Hmm but I don't find my self to reaching to any conclusion of what I have to do. Mike said with worried face. Mike entered out of the room and put a glance at the hallway of hospital he completely paradoxical about the sight the icons and texts boxes floating around the hallway. He closed his eyes and then reopen them knowing he was just imagining things and that because of he has been too long there in his own virtual world that he had hard time making difference between real and virtual as he moved further he saw a man sitting on the chair smiling with a headset on but the odd thing about that man was his body it's looked like a lifeless mass with limbs and a thin layer of Skin nothing else. Mike felt dread about how long he's been like this and put the glance on his own hands they were.... Lifeless he felt like his life has been drained from his body he ran towards exit as faster as he could and slam the door open there was it a World the real one he tilted his head up and saw the sky it was beautiful and heart-warming the sunlight felt warm on his body and he finally felt the moments of reality and relief he remembered his childhood when he asked his father that what is up there and his father Adam said it's a sky a roof of our world and Mike said what's above the roof of our world. The God who created you and me and everything Adam replied. Mike felt happy for his memory and he continued his journey to experience the reality as he finally escaped from the shallow world of virtual reality.
