Dear John
It is a strange and mysterious world. And more strange is the world of computers and interactive psycho-driven games. How can it be possible that a character of the games, Sebastian Shultz is also the real living person of this world? How can he enter the games like ‘Wildwest’, ‘Dragonquest’, ‘Jailbreak’ or ‘Warzone’? How can a character which plays the role of the second sheriff in ‘Wildwest’ and the second knight in ‘Dragonquest’ be the real Sebastian Shultz? He meets with an accident and remains in a coma for such a long time. These are the questions which puzzle me. I try to find their solutions and have reached certain conclusions on the basis of the concept of ‘Virtual Reality’.
When I checked my e-mail yesterday I received a ‘real’ message from the real ‘Sebastian Shultz’. He thanked me for saving his life and urged to meet me soon. He was generous enough to ask me to keep all the games with myself as I have ‘earned’ them.
I think the real Sebastian Shultz entered the games as his memory was first saved in the computer. He was playing one of the psycho-driven games at the time of the accident. He was plugged into the computer. The computer saved Sebastian’s memory. That memory was possibly stored on disks. And those disks containing Sebastian’s memory were stolen. They were bought by my father at the Computer Fair. Anyway, I hope to meet the real Sebastian soon. What an interesting meeting it will turn out to be!
Yours sincerely
Michael
