She's not realHeadset hijack: the dream menu has a will of its own

The story

Tech desk exclusive: a man straps on a headset for his first session and is greeted by a menu of fantasies, from the strict boss to the best friend's mom to the gamer who talks trouble. Anything he wants, the voice says, because it is his dream. He points to a woman who is missing from the menu entirely. Then comes the plot twist: she runs this dream, he cannot have her, and she says so with a smile. He panics and tries to find the exit. Our sources say the exit is not where it used to be.

The twist

Episode 2 finds the menu face to face with its guest. He asks where his choice went and is told she is not available, but someone else is. She knows he is watching. She says nobody skips the menu, that they are not real to him and that she is. Her rules, one night.

Developing story

The headset will not come off easily and the dream has a mind of its own. Who is actually running the simulation is the question left open for the paid episodes.
