Occupied

In the playhouse, things are simple. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to the classroom, exercise for an hour, and then you wander for the rest of the day until bedtime. Seems pretty easy and it's not entirely bad. You aren't alone. But I've never seen a cloud, or the sun. I don't know what the moon looks like or how natural winds feels. We have simulators upon simulators but I know it's not the same. And then one day, she showed up. A girl who went by Laney. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen, not that I had seen many girls. But to make things better, she's from outside the playhouse and the tales she tells me both frighten me and intrigue me. She knows what's going on and she knows what the playhouse is and all she tells me is that it's not what it seems.
