I couldn’t be sure how long it was. Everything was a blur. I did my schoolwork and came home. I hid in my room and avoided life.Okay, I have to confess… I started playing World of Warcraft again. Watching my character run through the jungle and kill things or fight battles made me feel like things weren’t so bad. I could be living in a jungle, wearing ugly robes and have a bone through my nose. I could be fighting for every meal.If anything, the game was healthy for perspective.A knock at the door interrupted my battleground. “Yeah?” I asked but never took my eyes from the screen.I heard the door open, and the awkward silence meant it wasn’t Jess, the only person who actually came to see me. I caught a glimpse of a stunned face and turned to see Linna. I looked back to the game. “Hey.”She walked across the room, dodging clothes and shoes and books. “Uhh, wow. Are you okay? ‘Cause damn, dude. This room is nasty.” Her voice was funny. “It stinks in here.”I looked around and pointed at the boxes in the corner.
