//Dear Alice,// //I remember a time when I used to run down halls of Tully High school Killing invisible Orcs with a song in my heart. I would often get stares from my Comrades in arms. Legendary as I was, the Orc population began to run thin, so I instead teamed up with Orcs to fight other despicable creatures. These were the days where I was truly happy.//

//However, as time went on, my evil-creature slaying days became fewer and fewer. Some mornings I just didn't feel like slaying dragons. All these of monsters started to avoid me. It was like I was slowly lost my will to go on. I became dark, broody and obsessed with trivial things. I found myself worrying about what somebody said to me instead of what I wanted to fight that day.

This past week has been especially difficult. Today I found myself hard-pressed to remember what an Orc looked like. I can't seem to wield my swords anymore. Someone could shoot me with an arrow at me, and I wouldn't notice. Please Alice, I need some words of encouragement to get me thorough this turbulent time.

Love, Throkmor The Orc-Slayer//

I’m sorry to say this but you need to get a grip on reality. There is no such thing as Orcs in the halls of Tully High School. My only advice to you is to separate your fantasy world from the real world. Even though in video games battles are fought and people are killed, it is never all right to kill anyone in real life. Do yourself a favor and get a new hobby, that doesn’t involve video games. Sincerely, Alice**
