The Islander

Dear Qin citizen, do not open your beautiful eyes.

For the next minute, listen to my voice as we prepare you for your upcoming experience. Understand that this will not resemble other memories you have purchased for your Mindbank. Soon, we will permit you into the body of our hero, to witness the world from his perspective and live out the struggles he faced—but this time, let us invite you into the production of our Memory Epic too.

Give us a moment to calibrate your device. Perfect, the Producer has given us the green light to proceed. We are confident that your Mindbank has the processing power to optimally deliver this memory experience. Please relax, gently open your eyes, and join us when ready.

Now, allow me to begin this story as if it were an American-white fairy tale . . .
