"In one of my many visits, I asked her why she chose to live inside her room playing Mobius instead of sprawling out in the world. At first I thought the question would offend her but thankfully it did not. "I love this world." gesturing her arm to the headgear as if it was the embodiment of the online world. "It is perfect in its own way. I can be anything I want and do anything I want, without fear of being rejected. I can be what I want to be. I can present myself the way I want to. Plus, there's certainty in this world. I know where the quests are going to start and how they're gonna end. In books and movies, all of the things are happening for a reason. Not unlike the real world where the rules are not clear. Expectation and reality do not always meet."
As a reader I always try to pick up a book that I haven't heard of, this is one of those. I bought this as a souvenir at Dreamland, an Arts and Crafts Cafe in Tagaytay, it caught my attention because this is the only book there... at the time, don't know if there are new ones. I'm not a huge fan of collection of short stories because they're not always consistent, one story could be something you really enjoy, and the next could be draggy and makes you think "what the F is the point of this?". But fortunately, in Sub-versions, it did not happened, each story offers different themes/setting, it kept me reading and got me excited to read the next. Last night I was up until 2 am until I decided to go to sleep because of one story that crept me out, the story's titled is Gunshot, which I'm realizing just now that I never read the title, that's how much I enjoyed reading this. I don't know where else you can get a copy of this, but if you happen to visit Tagaytay I recommend dropping by Dreamland and buy a copy of this, I think it'll cost you only 120PHP... or 150PHP ata?.
