summary of virtually true
Answers
It all started a month back, when the narrator along with his Dad had brought the latest psycho-drive games with a virtual reality, visor and glove. Some of these games didn’t appear new but the narrator was not bothered. He was thrilled with the latest technology and was getting impatient to start playing.
The first game that he started was called Wild West.
The game made him feel that he was also one of the characters and he had a Sheriff’s badge pinned on his shirt. As he burst into the swing doors of the saloon, everyone glared at him. He drank a glass of some fizzy red stuff and on hearing a loud crash, he spun around. There in the doorway was Black-Eyed Jed, with the fastest gun in the west. He called the narrator who was Sheriff Dawson out. The narrator slammed the glass down and went out. Surprisingly the game took a strange and unexpected turn. A second Sheriff appeared through the back door, shouting and waving. The narrator wondered what way the game was shaping. The second Sheriff forbade the narrator from going out. The narrator noticed that he was very different from other computer images. He was young, like the narrator and he did not move like other images. The second Sheriff told the narrator to follow him. They raced down a corridor, through another door, then another and ended back in the saloon itself. The second sheriff dived through the window and the narrator followed him. He was sitting on a horse and the narrator sat behind him. There were other men on horse back chasing them. The sound of a gunshot shocked the narrator and he realised that the second Sheriff had collapsed. Immediately bright neon lights appeared and score ‘GAME OVER’.
As the narrator took out his visor, he noticed a piece of paper on the tray. It carried a picture of the second Sheriff with the message.” I’m stuck. Please help to retrieve me. Try Dragon Quest”. — Sebastian Shultz. Next morning, the narrator started playing the game of DRAGON QUEST. The aim of the game was to rescue a golden haired princess Aurora from the wicked dragon and also to collect the dragon’s treasure on the way. The narrator was on the verge of saving the princess, when he is stalled by Sebastian’s voice in the background, asking to be saved first. Sebastian was the second knight this time and he cut off the golden plaits of the princess, made them into a rope and jumped out. The narrator also jumped out. They tried to run through a secret passage with the dragon pursuing them. They take to the dungeons later and then the dragon suddenly appeared and jumped on them. The narrator tries to strike him but is not successful. The dragon only charged towards Sebestian, who was his prime target. Before the narrator could do anything to save Sebastian, the game got over. This time the message in the printer was ‘BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME. OTHERWISE I’LL HAVE TO STAY HERE FOREVER. TRY JAILBREAK. I THINK IT MIGHT WORK”. The narrator had no need to study the rules of the game JAILBREAK. He knew his sole objective to save Sebastian. His cellmate in the games was prisoner: 02478 : Shultz. With the help of a skeleton swipe-card, they both were out of the cell, with dogs chasing and sirens wailing. They manage to evade the guards and reach the roof. Sebastian is waiting for a helicopter to rescue them. But by that time the guards and dogs were hurtling towards them and before the narrator could do anything, Sebastian had taken a step backwards and landed on the concrete below. The game ended there and then, much to the shock of the narrator. This time, the narrator was shocked to discover that there was no message

Virtually true.....Michael, the narrator, is fond of computers and various games one can play on them. His father is also wary about computers and buys the latest gadgets and gizmos. At a computer fair they buy a new set of psycho- drive games. As Michael begins playing Wild West “he becomes a sheriff who is challenged by Jed a dead shot. Michael is joined by another sheriff who advises him to escape. While Michael is able to escape, the other sheriff (Sebastian Shultz) is shot. Next day Michael gets a message from Shultz to play “Dragon quest “to save him. In this game too Michael is able to escape but not Shultz. Again a message comes that Michael should save Shultz by playing “Jailbreak ". Again, while Michael is able to survive, Shultz is not. As a last resort Michael plays “War Zone “ . He jumped into the game right away. He found himself in a city that is scarred by battle wounds. He knew that his job was to save Sebastian. They run together towards an abandoned jeep that they manage to find amidst the rubble. Then, they go towards a helicopter as a tank follows them. As soon as it came to their view, Sebastian stopped the car. Michael jumped into the helicopter when the jeep went into a spin. Sebastian does not go into the helicopter at this point. Michael patiently waits and shouts at him to come into the helicopter but Sebastian does not budge. A few moments later, Sebastian is thrown into the helicopter when the tank collides with the jeep. They fly into clouds and the game ends, saving him. When Michael removes his visor, he realizes that he has got the higher score. Michael, then suddenly sees the picture of this boy Sebastian Shultz in a newspaper which tells how Shultz had met with an accident and lay in coma, before being saved miraculously. So, Michael realizes that Shultz, the boy in the games, really existed. Apparently, the game they had bought was stolen from Shultz and carried his “memory ". This is where, Michael realizes, the line between realities and “virtual reality” gets burred and one does not know what is real and what is “virtually true".
