“MAY” I scream as my sister falls in the sand, the creature of sun behind her. I have two options, i could run and save myself or i could save her but at the cost of my life. My blade gleams in the sun, before i could run towards my sister and save her the ground beneath me gives out. I wake up in and unfamiliar desert, one with two suns instead of one, with sand colder than the moon. This is not where i was or wanted to be, behind me are some old run down houses, in front of me lays mountains of sand, colder then ice. I run towards the houses, trying to find supply’s to keep me alive. All i could find in the houses was sand, just fucking sand. “FUCK” i scream as tears run down my burnt skin, my sisters probably dead, im probably going to die, why the fuck did i sign up to be a sand ranger. I was supposed to be guiding travelers through deserts to villages, getting paid hundreds a week. Now im running from the creatures of sun, with what was my sister but now a pile of bones, at least im sure she is now. Then i hear that blood awfule sound, the same one that took my sister, a bloodcurdling screech echos through the air. I uncover my sword and step out of the old rundown house and stand before a giant creature, legs longer then the Eiffel Tower, best way to discribe it is a giant one eyed sand spider, one that if touched will burn you. That’s why its called the creature of the sun, it burns like the sun, it is the child of the sun gods. I drop my sword, im ready to see my sister. The creature runs towards me, i close my eyes and shake the sand from my hair and prepare for my faint. The creature now only a step before me, i recall all my memory’s, how i lost my parents and cared for my sister May. The way she called me mom as i took care of her even though she knows im her sister, i let her down and couldn’t save her, so why should i save my self. Then the ground echos as the creature steps on me, i wake up in black, darkeness consumes me, i feel like im laying down on a hard surface. I hear voices next to me, “Take it off” i hear Deep mans voice say right above me, “To bad she didn’t finish the game” another says, this one in a lighter voice but it was hard to tell if it was a female or male. Next thing i know i feel hands lifting the darkness off my face, and bright lights shine in my face. I squint agents the light, “You ok?” The deep voice says “Where the fuck am i?” I say as i sit up and let my eyes adjust to the light. Im in some white room on what looks like a bed you would see at the doctors, the room smelled of sweat and chemical cleaners, it burned my nose. An older gentalmen stood before me, “You alright June?” I stare at him blankly “How do you know my name?” The man shared a worried look with a woman standing in a corner acrossed from me “June you where in a virtual reality game… Sand busters” he said concernly “It’s a new game we made, and you signed up to play for 24 hours, we paid you a couple thousand.” Every thing hits me, all my memory’s where fake, My parents are stilll alive, and i do have a sister named May but she’s older than me, not the other way around. I remember my parents need money to pay for my grandparents funeral, so I signed up to play a new game for 24 hours. But it felt so fucking real, i had memory’s, i had a boyfriend at one point. It was all fake, which means i can finally go back with my family and continue high school, see my friends, live my happy life. “I would like to go home” i say, tears filling my eyes of joy, the man nods. I make it home to my family, my parents asking how my day was, my sister on the couch eating some chips, “My day was wild, im just glad to be home now” I say as i hug my parents. Thank god it wasn’t real.
