Man it sounds like you did this all on your own! I helped too, Zach! In fact, without me I would expect to find you single, overweight, working some job that makes you hate yourself, and all because you keep thinking the adventure one could not go on.

Before this mess began, I was down hard. I could barely make it to my classes in Boone Rite University. I was a computer science major. My programming class required a project. I too heard the radio ad. I packed my notes from program designs and security of computer programs. I was going to figure out this tech and make it better. What if besides where it takes you there could also be a when?

I was in great shape. I ran each morning to keep my figure. I was a thin, blonde girl. My eyes were brown like chocolate. My lips are as red as strawberries. I wore short clothes to let the breeze cool me when exercising. Both my mind and body were intimidating. My professors may argue that I am arrogant. Those geezers,(sigh).

" Heather, this is ridiculous. No man has ever designed a way to instantly transport a physical object from point A to point B," my advisor believed.

"Dr. Pinnacle? I have seen what programs are capable of. What if there was a way? It sounds more unreal. I believe they created a vr simulation so advanced that pain and physical appearance can be altered," I explained to my advisor.

"Heather, I need to be honest with you that technology does not exist. I have made many apps, programs, and assisted with video game design. This is a scam," cried out the doctor.

"Then let me see it myself! I know if I just get a glimpse I could figure it out."

"Fine! However you will need to retake your new classes after. You are off this semester."

"It will be worth it. I can prevent people from being scammed and expose the truth before it takes advantage of small minded citizens. I do not want a repeat of that fake time machine from Napoleon Dynamite."

I went home to pack and prepare for maybe the most important interview of my life. I wrote out the radio message to see if there were any key words used. It mentioned "camp certified" which may hint that survival is a key part. They said, "…prepare for anything…", which sounded like a virtual reality version of Minecraft. The last part stumped me, "to survive (confirming the Minecraft idea), to thrive, and … be comfortable..". 

I got in my jeep and drove. I need to be one of the first in. I have so much riding on this.
