My Realistic Adult Game

My name is Kenny, Kenny Clark. I’m a gang member in the Upper East Side of Miami. My life is the typical template of a lower-class American citizen—working tirelessly for money and enjoying life within my means.

Though it’s bitter, there’s occasionally a hint of sweetness.

"Kenny, here’s the latest earnings." On the beach under the night sky, a Latino youth handed me a roll of small bills.

I am a warehouse manager, belonging to the lower tier within the gang hierarchy. My job is to manage the earnings from marijuana sales.

Then, I hand it over to the gang leader in the afternoon the next day. I earn eight hundred US dollars every week.

I shoved the money into my pocket and threw the cigarette butt from my mouth to the ground.

In front of me is the most beautiful place in Miami, Miami Beach. There are lots of tourists, packed with people, and even at night, it’s as lively as it is in the day. At night, many have their needs.

Beers, bikini girls, and of course, marijuana.

I took out a VR headset from my second-hand Dodge car and put it on.

"Kenny, playing games again? The beach is full of beautiful women. Why are you playing a fake VR adult game?" The Latino youth is my partner Amir, Amir Cross. An illegal immigrant from Mexico.

He lives with his uncle, on the same block as me. We belong to the same gang, the Johnny Clan!
