Summary: A young teenager (I'm leaving the name, gender, age, and appearance up to the reader) is playing the latest in VR gaming technology,
a game called "Matrix Warrior", when the game starts recording strange
errors and glitches that it shouldn't be able to make. The most experienced players, and even the game's programmers don't understand why the game is performing incorrectly for just this teenager. The teen must
now learn the truth of this "Virtual Reality" game, and make a decision
that will affect the rest of his/her life.

A green grid appears in front my eyes as cool theme music plays. The name scrolls in; "Matrix Warrior" it's called. The latest in VR gaming. It can be played offline, or can be connected to the Internet for some of the best VR fighting ever! Ever since I saw "The Matrix Trilogy" in theatres I thought about how cool it would be to be able to do all of that ultra-fast fighting and be able to dodge bullets, but they were just movies, so I had to settle for the game. The first time I loaded the game I was amazed at the hardcore gameplay and graphics. The Wachowski Brothers were geniuses in my mind.
I was a loner for the most part. I didn't have many friends because everyone thought I was crazy for liking the Matrix movies and promoting the existence of The Matrix. I only new a few people who liked the movies, but they weren't as into them as I was. When I connected to the game's online mode, I was so excited as there were millions of people online that I could talk to who shared my interests and didn't judge me based on my views of the world. The people that I could never meet were better friends than those that could see me everyday to get to know me. Pretty soon the game became my life. I would spend hours playing, leveling-up, training my focus skills, and soon becoming one of the top-ranked players. In three days worth of playing, 72 hours, I became the second-best player in "Matrix Warrior". My username became "DivineVirus".
The only player better than me and my best online pal was "DataAngel". He always kept close to me in the game and saved my character from being deleted several times. The online mode was full of cheaters and hackers. "DataAngel" happened to be a hacker, but he only hacked for the benefit of weaker players who were in tough situations. A lot of people admired him. Whenever there was trouble, he was there, his character kicking virtual ass. He wasn't only admired for his game-playing skills, but for the way he talked about The Matrix. He acted so serious about it. He believed in it more than I did. If someone told him that The Matrix was just a few movies, than there would be virtual hell. He always talked about Zion as if he lived there, but I didn't take a whole lot of notice to this. I thought he was just a big Matrix movie fanatic who made up stuff. He also told people ways to un-plug without actually having to take a pill or go to a phone. He seemed to know everything. I wished I could meet him, but according to his profile, he lived in Zion, and that couldn't help anyone find him.
After about 5 hours of non-stop play (except to use the bathroom), my mother told me to log-off and go to bed as it was now 11:30 PM. I had school the next day as today was Sunday, and, obviously, tomorrow would be Monday. I said my good-byes to all my online friends and logged-off. The game asked me if I wished to continue as it always did to make sure that you didn't log-off by accident. I chose "No" and took off my VR headgear, laid it next to my computer, and lay on my bed thinking about how cool it would be to meet "DataAngel", and if the Matrix really existed. Soon my mind filled with thoughts of more "Matrix Warrior" playing. I was hooked, but I didn't realize how hooked I would soon become.
