I am a retired tourist. I was drawn to the Metaverse for some entertainment. I got a job, bought some land, made some friends, then, I met Usha. Ultimately, Usha, invited me to play her game. I chose to play and I have never been the same. She pulled me into an existence where her great charm and beauty filled me with ancient feelings. Those feelings surged through my heart branding my mind with the joys and fears of a devine future.
I remember the first day we met...when I saw her my heart started pounding.. I felt tension knit across my shoulders..the scented breath of dawn and pine filtered into my senses. I wanted to reach out and touch her, touch her arms, hold her hands, protect her... I said, "HI." We were standing on the wide deck of a golden wood ship..."Can I help you?"
"I'm new." she said...." A newbie."
I could feel her smile. The way she said "newbie" made it sound like it was something I wanted to be ...new, fresh, full of inner beauty ..innocent.
Soft sighs and little rustlings fluttered through the sails. A ray of light from the sun came to rest on her face ..... the beauty of a perfect morning.
Immediatatly I felt depressed that this woman would ever be anywhere but with me...
"Where are we?" She ask.
"This is my ship, she is called the Preening Loon....How did you find me? ..I mean how did you get here."
"I joined a group...my first group."
"Well, I'm glad you did..let me show you around."

Chapter 1.
I am getting ahead of myself...I need to go back. back to the beach. daybreak on a pleasant beach in the metaverse. It is always daybreak for me in the metaverse...I grew up on sunrise, my Dad was a farmer. He was always taking movies of the sunrise. On every home movie we had it always began with a sunrise. Where was I ..oh yes.....palm trees sway in the breeze....a bird flies overhead. There in the sand the outline of a dragon. A black scorpion makes it way across the design...stops in the middle ...I reach to touch it...
I was a pirate back then. long black hair.. red ships captain coat, peg leg. The coat was made especially for me by swaffette Firefly, a famous designer in the Verse back then. One day she just gave it all up, left the metaverse...said goodbye to no one... went back to meatspace. Reality ...just because you stop believing in it, doesn't mean it is going away. This is where I live..... The Metaverse on the SGRID...The Super Grid. Well I say I live, my flesh lives in a tiny little apartment above an art gallery in a small tourist town near the Mexican border in Arizona, USA....But the place I really feel alive is in the metaverse....ask me, I'll tell you, "I will never leave!". but that would be a lie. I know someday I will find what I am looking for and reality will be alright for me too.
