: Pages

  With shaky hands, I take the object from the wooden box. Tears roll down my cheeks as I confirm my suspicions.

It is truly what I've been searching for. My hand traces the front of the object, feeling excitement build inside me.

I eagerly turn the pages, and the familiar handwriting greets me.

  "King, are you gay?" I whisper to myself as tears stream down my face.

I finally found it. The thing that connects me to the real world. I hug it tightly, afraid that I might lose it at any moment.

I can't afford to lose this. It's my only way back to my own world.

   However, a pang of pain immediately enveloped my whole being. The thought of returning home hurts so much.

But why? Isn't that my ultimate goal? To return to the real world? So why does it feel like it's not what I truly want?
