The Harsh Reality

"I didn't kill anybody!"

"Do you have an account with Dark Fantasies, Inc?"

Long pause. "Yes, but--"

"And you've murdered your employer a total of 17 times, right?"

"It's not real! Everything takes place in a virtual world; I don't really kill him!"

"Did you go to your employer's house this morning and beat him to death with a tire iron?"

"It's just harmless venting - Dark Fantasies, like the name of the company!"

"You should probably know that their World Server crashed this morning, just as you were logging in."

"Oh God..."

"You weren't in a virtual world this time."
