    (VIRTUAL) REALITY

    Danny stood in the remnants of the castle. ‘Put on your headset,’ the woman instructed him. He did so. Danny now saw the castle in it’s past glory. He could move around and see the world as it had once been. A loud blowing horn sounded. Someone yelled ‘We’re under attack.’ Danny felt a swish…
