An Odd
It's 2020. Technology is on a rise and virtual reality gaming is at its' peak. Virtual reality games have been slowly coming on the market lately, and one of the most popular ones is a recent open world RPG simply named OZ.
Many people have spoke of a this game giving it a lot of media coverage and raising the popularity even more. Almost everyone around the world had this game, it was amazing for the company who created it due to the money the sales were bringing in. It was based in a world similar to that of the one that was described in the Wizard of OZ. Yet, it had many differences than the fictional world, like the monsters that roamed the areas surrounding the cities and villages, like the different powers that each individual could have. This games was completely new and so different from any other open-world RPG but not just because of the graphics or style, there was something a little bit more to this game...
A little more sinister.
The first recorded case was in July 12, 2021, about seven months after the game came out. A girl by the name of Dorothy Simmons was found to be in a comatose state in her room. Nobody knew why, though a lot of people speculated that she went into this state after having an epileptic seizure, the only thing was this girl had no record of having epilepsy or a history of seizures.
But despite that people could still suffer from seizures, right?
That is what people thought until more cases came out saying the same exact story. People began pointing fingers at the creators of the game but they refused to say anything on the topic. This only angered people more as protests happened almost everyday outside of the company's building. People wanted answers to this strange epidemic. People had lost their children, spouses and other loved ones and everyday more and more people were to never wake up from this game...

The CEO came out and finally spoke on the topic. He said, "I understand that this is very hard to comprehend what is going on but all I can tell you is, the people you love are in my world now and there is no escape. You can try to take off the headsets but that will cut off the only connection they have left to this world. Without it, they will be permanently stuck in OZ." With a laugh, he left the podium only to never be hear from again.
This is where you come in, you are the ones that are trapped in this game, and are aware of the fact that you can't leave it. You are very different souls with one goal in mind: getting back home.
Will you succeed or will OZ be your resting place? Will you go at it alone or help each other out?
Will you fall in love? Will you choose to stay?
It is up to you. Just remember...
There is no place like home.
