On the drive home from the office I hit a large dog. The moment I did, a voice went off inside my head. Monster defeated. Experience points acquired. ...What? The world had changed while I was not looking. Monsters, levels, skills, a status screen, all of it real and all of it at once, laid over streets I have driven down a thousand times. I was never going to be a hero. I intend to survive this, and then live however I like.
