Story Title: GAME MODE
(GAME CONCEPT from a dream)
I start in a ww2 Wolfenstein modern area game killing Nazis on the streets, with a companion - graphics are good. I come across a tank that is small. A blonde nazi comes out, I point my rifle and he surrenders, I turn to other invading Nazis and the blonde nazi kills my companion, I point my gun at blonde Nazi and he surrenders again.. i shoot him dead.
Then I zoom out of game mode into inside a futuristic car with a companion. He is the driver. I automatically am played competitive gamers gaming in a video like simulation. I feel annoyed by it and try to figure out a way to stop this ad-verse. We stop at various gaming outlets located around the city. This outlets have people gaming with VR-like devices. I again go into game mode into a battlefield type of game.. I play for a few minutes and then zoom out of game mode. I get this ad-verse video pop up again and look around in the futuristic car with my companion to see where it's transmitting from. And there it was.. a device on a pole, blue in LED colour. I could enable and disable it by using my VR-armed hand. Finally it was disabled.. but wait there are more of this ad-verse devices around this gaming outlets.. so I gotta disable one by one, I hope they save my choice.
My companion is driving and we stop at a red light. This incoming moving machine comes towards us. My companion freaks out and I tell him to push forward.. and he unwillingly does it... when inside the huge moving device there are moving parts with fail safes. I see a puzzle bridge into another and tell him to push forward.. he again unwillingly does it to find that this device was a game in real life for drivers. We get out of the puzzler and stop near a river with a bridge. I tell him that you must always push forward no matter what.. and I refer to writers, movies and free thinkers.
He asks who the heck invented Game Mode.. I explained it was a theorist who invented it, and then suddenly we go in a sequence while parked. We appear in a warehouse with rooms that have slaughtered animals on show. I quickly go to the HQ where it all started. I hear a woman's voice thanking someone for a heavy donation. She was happy that someone invested on her theory of gaming.
Blank.. I run out of the HQ and walk past this disturbing bloody rooms showing the horrors of human nature.
I sense in my VR-SENSOR a few blips and one is of my companion, I follow. The location was a shortcut being taken by gamers to get out of the sequence map. My companion saw me and told me to jump at the corner of the map. I jumped and map sequence changed to a fancy night evening hosted by the now CEO of Game Mode.. the theorist.
She was walking on a floating stable platform on water, and as she reached the main area of visitors a Afro-American woman approached her... she was overexcited and offered her all her money. The CEO accepted the offer without real consideration and said all the money helps. The woman frantically tells the CEO how her life changed for the better with her creation.. Game Mode. The woman types on her phone and calculates all her life savings, all her money and sighs with relieve.. that's it.. presses the transfer button and it's done. The CEO says a simple thank you and moves to other fans.
I notice a red light coming from a grinning man on the table of the life-line transaction. This man showed the red light to me and it was a bomb within the sequence... which had a lot of gamers in. This virtual bomb would fry the VRs and instant EMP any fail safes that counter life threatening malfunction for the users in Game Mode.
I sat down with him and tried to talk him out of it.. I told him that only one person was important in the Game Mode.. and he grinning with the red light of the bomb shinning on his crazy face asked...who? You? The Afro-American lady? Who? The CEO!? He asked as he was about to pull the trigger... I said,"You." - he paused and asked again.. who is the most important in here!? You!? ... and I said,"You are because you are about to commit suicide".. his red light dimmed and then he stopped grinning.
Suddenly I sequenced into an asylum.. a Psychiatrist and nurses were leading me to somewhere and I was going willingly. I looked at my dog tags and then lost my right shoe... I went back for it but gave up on it half way.
The Psychiatrist noticed and nodded. I entered a massive room. I saw a toy train in a roundabout and pointed at it touching it while making it wobbly.
I heard the Psychiatrist say how evil, dark and corrupt I was. Then he placed me in a green bubble underwater in the lab. Besides waiting for my doom I started pushing the bubble... and suddenly it started moving. The Psychiatrist was surprised and said I choose to push forward.
As I pushed forward I had a VR window open with a choice.. to click it or not to click it.
