What'd I do? Why did I do it? Amongst peer pressure and such and random curiousity, I gave in. I shouldn't have done it. It was wrong, or was it? I mean, I like it, is that wrong?

The trial was free.

First one always is.

But I can just 'try it'. "I won't get hooked on the first try" I said.

Right. Just like they always say. I'm stronger than that and such.

As I popped it into my system, I could already feel the rush beginning. It was nice. It built slowly. Actually it took forever. The 'popping it in' was a long and slow process.

A process of increasing anticipation.

Then came the time to really start it up. As the Load took over my system, I felt it more.

Suddenly, I heard Music. It was nice music. I liked it.

Then I saw things...characters of all types...I found I can become them with just a little point. I couuld even make them spin, make them have different hair colors. All sorts of wonderful things.

That was nice. But it was just the beginning of my Trip.

I began to run around. I felt untouchable. Invincible.

As I went further into it, I saw a Dragon. I really did. They say you are 'chasing the dragon' and all that with addiction.

But I really saw it.

Really.

Pretty soon though, it was all I did. I wanted to see this 'new' world. I wanted to get stronger. Just a bit more.

I couldn't stop.

I'm pretty sure I died a few times as it went on. Felt like it, at least. There were some so called 'friends' there to guide me. One even tried to stop me early on. "Take it back, don't do it." he said.

Too late.

I didn't listen.

And now, after just short while, I know my life is forfeit to it. Sure, I may take my breaks and get away from it for a bit.

But I'll always return. And there it will be, waiting for me. Calling to me.

And that's why it's called World of WarCrack...not Warcraft.

Azeroth is calling....
