"I wish someone would just kidnap me and lock me in a room..."
Â
Â
I mumbled to myself, flopping onto the bed after another repetitive day at work. I'm sure everyone else feels the same way...
Â
Â
"A place where I don't have to do anything, and they just give me food and water... That'd be paradise..."
Â
Â
Imagining a parade of such scenarios in my head, I rolled around on the bed, giggling to myself. After a few minutes of that, the post-excitement clarity hit me, and I sat in front of my computer to find something else to enjoy, to change the mood.
Â
Â
Â
Games are the first thing I see when I turn on the computer... It's not my fault I don't organize them, it's because they keep adding new ones!
Â
Â
Â
I blamed the games while looking at my messy desktop wallpaper. Of course, I know it's not really their fault, but I'll definitely organize it in a month... Seriously.
Â
Â
Â
"Huh...?"
Â
Â
Â
As I was pondering what game to play, Lobotomy Corporation caught my eye.
Â
Â
"It's been a while, kinda nostalgic..."
Â
Â
Â
It was one of those unfortunate games I played for a bit and then abandoned because I got obsessed with other games.
Â
Â
"At least I tried hard with the sequel..."
Â
I almost smashed my keyboard and split my monitor in half, but I still played it diligently. I never really liked games that required a lot of brainpower, but as I played... rather than realizing it was fun, I think I just developed anger management issues...
Â
Â
Anyway, thinking about all those past memories, I suddenly felt like playing Lobotomy Corporation again after a long time. When a person thinks of something, they immediately put it into action.
Â
Â
"...Now that I think about it, in Lobotomy Corporation, the Abnormalities managed by L Corp don't have to do anything in their rooms... except when they're being managed..."
Â
Â
Â
It's exactly the life I want. Somehow, I started to envy the Abnormalities. No need to worry about money, no starving to death... Ugh...
Â
Â
Â
"Thinking like that, maybe becoming an Abnormality wouldn't be so bad."
Â
Â
Â
With that, I clicked the game's play button.
Â
Â
Â
"Huh?"
Â
Â
Â
Suddenly, the world turned black, and my mind started to fade. What the,
Â
Â
Â
"Here so suddenly... I'm, passing out...?"
Â
Â
Â
I felt my body collapsing, and then I lost consciousness.
Â
Â
Â
...
Â
Â
Â
When I came to, I was in a solitary cell... well, not exactly solitary. I was in a strange room.
Â
Â
Â
...I can't shake off this uneasy feeling.
Â
Â
Â
I looked around.
Â
Â
And my despair points increased by +1.
Â
Â
Â
I really didn't want to come here, you know?! I didn't want to be trapped in a place with no furniture! Is this reality?... No, no... This can't be reality. Right, so this is a dream. A dream I wished for, but right now I have to do something in reality... well, not really, it's just a game... Of course, I just want to play.
Â
Â
Â
So, I slapped my face with both hands to wake up from the dream. They say shock can wake you up, right...?
Â
Â
"?"
Â
Â
Â
Â
Wait a minute... this is weird. Why, why do I feel a slight pain on my cheeks where I slapped myself...? Do you usually feel pain in dreams? As I pondered that, I looked at my hands again, the ones that had slapped my cheeks.
Â
Â
"Wait a minute... Besides, this isn't... my body!"
Â
Â
Damn, and the voice too...
Â
Â
Maybe because I was out of it, I hadn't noticed. That's right, I finally realized the biggest problem. The body I'm moving isn't my original one...
Â
Â
Being trapped in some solitary cell is bad enough, but now I'm in some woman's body.
Â
Â
What the heck, give me my body back.
