Reflections

This is a little bit different from some of my other works, bit more story driven but this is Chyoa so some fucking still does occur. Please let me know what you think.

I was eating kind of bland applesauce when a man walked into my hospital room and reached out to shake my hands. I just looked down at my hands so wrapped in gauze they looked like a cross between a mummy and toilet paper rolls stuck on hands and just kinda looked back up at him. I should say I was still eating the applesauce but it was through a staw on account of my mummy hands.

He went on to tell me about this new game his company was developing called Reflections. Normally it was targeted at gamers with a lot of money to spend on high-end total VR rigs. The company had a strong commitment to charity though so instead of just dumping some money in some feel-good group they were offering their services to children's hospitals. The aim he said was to ease our pain and help erase kids recover both physically and mentally.

I should back up a moment my name is Rye and I am missing my legs. Wait shit, my name is Rye and I don all fucked up. Okay, one more time my name is Rye and I am having a bad week and am trying to cope with it through humor that my the rapist says is unhealthy. A couple days ago I was riding in the back of my parent's car on our way to a dinner to celebrate me getting into college and turning 18. Then, well I don't remember but from what I understand a larger faster moving object impacted our car due to a case of the texting while trucking and things went a bit bad. Parents died, other driver died, I nearly died and got really fucked up.

The firemen who rescued me thought I was younger than I was and so they took me to the children's hospital. I mean I do have a slight build and I had just lost a lot of weight what with the whole no more legs thing so it was an honest mistake. Anyway back to the interesting part so before the guy had gotten halfway through his explanation I had only one question.

What's next?
