Charlie pockets the pistol. "I don't know what else is out there. Best be prepared. And thanks." The woman nods and races off toward the exit. Charlie heads further down, inching closer to the bottom of the cavern.

Up ahead, he can hear noises. People arguing... and around the corner, it comes into view: two burly-looking men literally grappling over a humongous jewel! Charlie takes out his pistol.

"Freeze! Or I'll shoot!" The two men freeze, then slowly turn over to Charlie... just as someone hidden in the darkness behind him knocks him out cold. Charlie's avatar slumps to the floor.

The screen pulls back, and suddenly Charlie is watching his avatar get tied up by the others as they carry jewel out of the cave, leaving him there forever. Huge letters swoop in as the camera pulls away. "AND THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS: POWER AND GREED ARE UGLY INDEED."

Charlie yawns and nods his head in the direction of the blinking "Share with your friends?" prompt before pulling the headset off and dropping it on the dresser. Leaning back in bed, his eyes close, sending him into another world of dreams.

And so he drifts off to sleep, soothed by the gentle tones from the headset - still connected to the internet - as the 'Likes' come rolling in.
