In the Game

Prologue

Picking up the small purple pill from the table in-front of him, he placed it in his mouth, picked up the beaker that was sat on the table, took a sip of the silvery liquid inside and swallowed. The room faded out leaving nothing but blackness. After what felt like an eternity a blurred vision started to appear getting clearer and clearer until he could see his surroundings again. But instead of the grey walls of his apartment he saw a tranquil scene of a grassy hill side, the sun shining bright in the sky.

Chapter 1

After giving his eyes chance to fully focus he looked around at his new surroundings. The ground was a lush green carpet of grass that stretched for miles over the rolling hills that surrounded him. In the distance a silvery glint of light drew his eyes to a point on the distant horizon. As he turned his head to look around again something else caught his eye, it was his clothes, they were not the rags he had been wearing, they were new clean and smart, a suit made of a material he was unfamiliar with, it felt soft and smooth as he ran his hands across the jacket.
'James' came a whisper
Looking around he tried to find where the voice came from.
'James, welcome to utopia. This world is what you make it.'
Again he looked around but could see no one.
'I am inside your head, your guide for your first 24 hours in the game. Remember there are exit points all across the world for you to use is you wish to leave, just look for the red and white exit signs. Enjoy your stay in Utopia.
'wooh that was strange' he said to himself shaking his head to clear it before looking for the point on the horizon that had cought his eye earlyer. Finding it again he started walking down the hill heading towards it.
'Lets see what all the hype is about.' He said to himself as he went on his way.

Dana sat at the table in her appartment turning a box over and over in her hands. Picking up her cupper she stopped twiddling with the box and started to read.

She took a sip from the cup before replacing it on the table and opening the box to examin its contents. Tipping the box so its open side faced the table another two boxes slid out along with a folded sheet of paper.
