This is my entry to Freewrite Day 27 with the prompt: It's what I do at 2:30 in the morning when I can't sleep.

This time I couldn't write something worth reading in the five minutes, so I gave my self 5-6 minutes to do some edits... this story is inspired by MMORPG communities, though I'm not really MMO player so this isn't accurate.

This is what I wrote in the 5 minutes of the challenge:

Playing Ultima Fantasy Online is what I do every night... This is my second year of playing and I became pretty famous...

Today is the day I'll ask Clare25 to marry me, it's just in-game marriage, but it's a huge step for someone like me who never had a girl in his 23 years of life, raised in a family full of men.

I didn't wait for her too much, she always plays this game at 2:30 in the morning, and when I asked her she said because she can't sleep.

Clare25 came and I asked her to marry me.
But she refused.

She said she is actauly a GIRL, what we mean A Guy In Real Life.


I gave myself another five several minutes of Edits:

A Problem with a GIRL

Playing Alpha Fantasy Online is what I do every night... In two years since my start I became pretty famous player...

I waited for is Clare25, one of my guildmates... I didn't wait for her too much, she always plays this game at two to three in the morning... when I asked her, she said because she can't sleep.

She arrived and we talked for a bit, then I asked her to marry me... It's just in-game marriage, but for someone like me who was raised by a family full of men and never had a girl in his twenty three years of life, it's a huge step.

But she refused.

That day I realized she is actually a GIRL, four letters that mean "A Guy In Real Life".

The End...?

Changed the game's name to Alpha Fantasy Online, the name of a fictional game in a story I didn't write yet. I don't know if there's a game with this name in reality and didn't bother to check.


This story is also inspired by the anime/novel: And You Thought There Is Never a Girl Online... There's a similar situation happening in Welcome to NHK an anime I watched lately.

But for now, I'll put my pen down.

Oh.... since I don't hold a pen I can still write more lines... right?... well, I think I can make a longer story from this, with character development and all. what do you think? any improvement?
