I woke up with a headache. 

"Oh fuck, where am I ?"

I looked all around me but didn't reconized the place. I was standing right in the middle of a huge prairie, nobody was here.
At least, a positive point...

"What have I a smoke again ?"

I searched in my pockets, but didn't find my phone. This reminded me what had happened before I faint.
The famous tricolor cat suddenly respawned, still carrying my portable in his mouth. 

"Hey little kitty... Can you give me back it, please ?"

We fixed each other in the blanc of our eyes until I could heard a little noise coming from the cat. 
That sound was due at the fact that the animal just had stabbed his fangs in the device's screen. The felin finally released it just in front of my feet. 

"This son of-..." 

I saw it go away from me. 

"Wa-.. Wait ! I don't know where we are... KARL ! 

It vanished a second time. 

"As he will answer me... It's just a cat, after all..." I muttered. 

I sat back on the grass, crossed-legged. Five envelopes stood up just under my eyes. 
Surprised, I precipitated myself to took one randomly. I opened it et started to read what was written on the little paper. 

Witch

Very great choice ! You have now in possession important abilities ! 
As an example : To cast spells or to creat death potions. 
But be careful, there is no antidote.

To begin with power : The spell "fire ball"

"Dot he people who are fooling me know what age I am, at least ?"

I thought first it was a joke, as anybody who is mentally stable would think. But that... It was before a purple light enrolled my all body. She was twirling around me like a ribbon, forming spirals. I believed she will take me away as a sort of tornado. 
When the strange colour had flew away, I noticed a HUGE change, who could fastly becoming a problem. 

"Why... Why am I wearing a dress !?"

My ancient clothes had been changed against a black and purple dress with long sleeves, stopping under my knees. Whithout forgetting the witch hat, who was whithout a doubt replacing my headphones. 

"Might as well be naked than wearing this shit..."

I took off the long cloth and threw it on the ground. My gaze was in the direction where I swung the garment. Yet, I dind't see anything but grass. I turned my head towrd my arm an reconized the clothing's sleeve. 
How it was possible ? 
I was so desperate that I started to really believe all these bullshits.... Taken by an impulse or I don't know what, I extended my arm in front of me. 

"FIRE BALL !" I yelled. 

At my BIG suprise, two fire balls got out of each of my hand.

"WHAT'S THAT !?"

I executated the same gesture and prononced the same words several times, until my "spell" didn't work anymore. 

"You're short of PM" I heard in my own head. 

Aaah I have understood... I'm in a virtual reality, right ? 
I wanted to put off the helmet, but the only thing I could remove was my glasses. 
After several tries, all finished to be a failure, I collapsed on the ground and my fractional glimmer of hope evaporated. 
All of a sudden, I was crying. It was a long time ago since I have not done that. The last time that tears fell down on my cheeks was the day my dog died. He was my only one friend before that my skateboard arrived.
Speaking of that... Where is it !? 
I twisted in all directions in optimist to find back my objet, but it was anywhere. That bad news made me cry over again. The sky would had be cleared, let the sun dominate the landscape, I fell asleep.
