The Addiction

Another game! I put the disc in and I play. I play for hours, days at a time. I must get every achievement, beat all the levels. I practice and play, practice and play. I will win the battles, I will be the best, I must succeed. And I do. Just like that, just in that moment of clarity, it's over. There's nothing else to do, nobody else to beat. The fun is gone and it will never fully return, and so I move on. Another game and another, like an addiction, with every high, there's always a new low.
