It's been fun. The meta is better. This deck is good. Now seriously, enough dawdling. I've got to go.

gumOnShoe stared at the screen. The virtual world lay just on the other side of the terminal. It was enticing, beckoning. What had once been a rusted fallen land easy to walk away from, was now a frolicking paradise. Old friends plied their advice here, shared their heartbreak and triumph. But they weren't really old friends anymore, not really; maybe they never had been.

The simple truth was that the real world mattered more than this place of distraction and, yes, entertaining entertainment. And while the virtual world was full of anguish there was always the knowledge that it was temporary and most importantly, chosen. One could forgive slights chosen because it was as easy lying to oneself.

Too easy. The barriers must be erected. The code gates must be polsihed, locked and set to spin off and gumOnShoe himself would have to be the sentinel. There was a real world. It had demands and there were more permanent lasting accomplishments. This pristine world would be better off without him. Already he could feel the self loathing trying to rise up and if that were to happen well... no world would be satisfactory for long.
