VR Trap

Date: 1/31/2019

A high school teacher has developed a VR environment that he runs out of his house in the woods. I’m suspicious so I volunteer to chaperone two students who spend time at his house. The VR system controls physical shapes, textures, an avatar-generating machine basically. The teacher is enthusiastic, shows me the 3D grid on which alternative realities are composed. This virtual world extends into the woods, which are also tiered, developed into levels. When the two students assume strange animal forms, I know it’s time to get us out of there.
