I was so happy to be home for Christmas. I missed my mom and dad. They were both at work for the day and not expecting me for a couple more days. I had finished finals and decided to pack and head straight home instead of waiting a few days like had told my parents. I'm so sick of college guys I just have to get away as soon as possible.
I could tell they were not expecting me yet because dad hadn't cleared his work out of my room. You see my parents' house was always one room too small until I left for college. While I was away my dad used my room as his office. He designed robots and other machinery mostly for the government, but he really enjoyed creating video games. Not your everyday video games mind you, his games were truly interactive. He made a game base on the TV series Highlander with a sword and a suit that gave you a jolt if you were struck by the computer fighter's sword. It was really cool, but hurt like hell when you were stabbed.
I decided I would take a shower and clean up. After my shower I see that there is a new suit sitting at the computer, it's a lot nicer that the last one, there is one connector coming out the side with a cable running to the computer. I turn the computer on so that it can boot up while I put the suit on. Even though I had gotten up at 4:00 am to catch one of those really cheap airfares I decide that I'll kill Valentia the warrior princess before I take a nap.
With the suit on I look at the menu but it's all different than before. It looks like dads created a whole new game. All that's on the screen is "Male" "Female" I take the mouse and click Female, then the screen changes. Split into three sections, the first show a picture of a road with a car sitting on the side, flashers going. The second is a strip bar, and the third is jungle seen. The heading says choose you adventure. I'm thinking what the hell this is, this doesn't seem like much fun, but I'll try it anyway. I choose the jungle scene and the screen changes. Choose you adversary and on the screen is this wild looking Alien, a big Gorilla and Large black man. Cool now this is more like it I decide to pick that Black man because the Alien is just to weird and I don't kill animals even if it is just a game. Put on virtual reality helmet and say ready. I grab the helmet and put it on.
