Description
It's funny how everyone sees things differently. Me? I see everything the way you'd see things in a video game. My dreams play out like a game and I watch through the eyes of the character chosen to be the hero. Though no matter how many dreams I have, the game is never the same and the hero is never me.

No, I'm playing as someone else. Sometimes I'm a man, but usually a woman. Often a leader, but there's no one to follow me. I can speak without trouble, though most still won't listen. The hero is never anything like the real me, yet I feel everything they do.

Escape a fortress. Slay the monsters. Protect the innocent. Change the past. Save a life. Kill the villain. Rescue someone. My goal is ever changing, yet I can't fail. In the end, it's simply reset and I'll be back where I was.

If only that would stay in my dreams. But no, my reality becomes twisted and there are echoes in my mind. These thoughts... they don't belong to me. I can tell that easily but... if they are not mine, then who is it that they belong to? The ones I've protected and rescued? The monsters and villains I'd slain? Or is it the hero whose body I'd taken over for just a short moment?

Why? Why must everything be like a game? If life is a game, then where's the reset button? No, life's no game. But then why does it appear like one to me? It feels like one, but I know it isn't.

In reality, there's no Game Over. There's no Reset. No Save. No Load. No Respawn. Nothing like that, only this eternal cycle. I'll never be able to reach Game Over and end this misery that I suffer through.

No, there's no Game Over. Not for me...
