Happily Ever After...
Ch. 1 - The Game
MIKAN
A bell jingled as I opened the door and stepped in. It was dim inside, the only light being a small lamp hanging from the ceiling. The lobby was a small room with two wooden chairs and a table on one side, and a door next to a desk on the other. The woman who was sitting behind the desk looked up as I walked towards her. I handed her a small piece of paper that said, "Free Admission to the Game Room for 5 Hours. Valid only on Sunday, February 16, 5013."

Touch the screen to play." I shook my head. I was sick of fighting and killing aliens or some other space creature. I visited the other machines that were near the entrance, but seeing nothing of interest, I began to wander aimlessly through the room. I passed several teens like myself who were already deep into their adventures.
Presently, I found myself in a corner of the room that was completely dark and didn't seem to have any games. I was about to turn around when I saw a faint glow. I walked towards it, curious, and found myself in front of a large game that was covered by a curtain. I pulled it off and the sheet fell to the ground in a heap. It revealed a game was new and shiny, as if it had never been used. It was a fantasy game called Happily Ever After, with knights and castles and princesses and giants. I smiled. This was the one I wanted to play. I stepped towards it and touched its giant screen as the bright light enveloped me…
