Immersive Entertainment

Being able to try out the new “immersive Entertainment” VR headset was a dream come true. Edwin had always loved new tech and the implications for gaming were downright insane. He put on the goggles and earphones and was instantly transported to a new world.

Well, actually the world was almost identical to the real one. In fact, the tech company had gone through great lengths to get every detail about the real world perfect in the virtual one. It was all pretty boring...at least until Edwin noticed his avatar. The character he was walking around with was clearly female. Even as he put his hands on his body, it all felt incredibly realistic. He wondered how this was accomplished. He wouldn’t find out the secret until he was back in the real world and discovered the glitch that swapped his body with another user...
