Escape from Reality

Reality. We all try to escape it in different ways. Some try to trade in their lives for their freedom from it. A stool, a knife, a bottle of pills.

Others slowly trade in their lives, to gain a temporary, very temporary, portal to the universe outside of the shackles bound to us by this one. A joystick, some dice, a few dozen bottles and needles.

Until slowly, you realize that with these temporary ways out of the confines of reality, comes new restrictions of their freedom.

And as this reality sinks in, you realize that you can’t escape reality.
