《Law of God (Book 1)》seven

Jacob, what is going on? Didn't I specifically say that you let me do the talking." Jacob sighed, looking the other way, until I took my hand and turned Jacob's face towards me. "I'm sorry, they forced me again." I sighed, just figuring out what to expect next, and Jacob swallowed hard.
"Did you kill her?" I asked, I looked at Jacob seriously.
Jacob sighed, "No," Jacob said, softly.
I just sat there in my seat continuing to look at Jacob. "You do know that you're gonna have to stop lying, they're gonna keep you here all night questioning you, until you tell them what happened." Jacob asked me if I didn't believe him, I sighed, stroking my hair out of my face.
"Please believe me, you know I wouldn't lay a single hand on anyone," Jacob said, begging. I sighed, "Then why do they arrest you?
*****
Jacob, she was murdered in cold blood, they arrested you for a reason, and I am thinking you have something to do with Izz's death," I said in frustration. Jacob swallowed before sighing. Jacob was interrupted by the detectives who came back in and sat down in their seats.

"Jacob, let me reverse a little, when you texted David and threatened him, was it before or after you found out your girlfriend was pregnant?" Jacob sighed, he was getting even more frustrated and upset.
"It was afterwards," Jacob answered back. "And David is your best friend, correct?" Jacob shook his head, "Yes." I sighed, wiping my eyes and face in frustration mode. Detective James just looked at me like he knew that we have been through a lot of bad stuff. He could tell I was worried about my own brother.

"How long have you and David have been friends?" Detective Evan asked. Jacob sighed, "I met David in ninth grade, so about four years." Detective James asked if David ever wanted to hurt anyone, possibly? "Did David ever had any problems with Izza?"
Jacob sighed, "I remember when he first met Izza, he kind of felt like I was using him over her." Detective James quickly asked, "Oh yeah, how so?" Jacob sighed once again, "I just knew that he was kind of jealous of Izza. Like he agreed for me to ask her to be my girlfriend, but then things started to settle down, like he started to like Izza," Jacob sighed, I made myself comfortable again in my own chair. I was confused.
I either was confused, or then I just had a flashback of what Jacob was implying about the fact that David starts to like Izza after he gets jealous of her. But jealousy is a sinful behavior, I guess the Holy Spirit got to David when he felt jealous. I remember being that way in high school.
*****
I was a teenager like David, being jealous of my best friend's girlfriend. Her name was Sophie River, the most popular girl in the school, dating my best friend, Taylor Matthews. Until I didn't know why I was jealous of Sophie. I was jealous of a girl who was dating my best friend. I sighed, and Jacob was still being interviewed.
"Jacob?"
"Yes?"
Defective James just looks at Jacob suspiciously and Jacob sighed, I could tell he was lying. "What? You think I am making all of this up? I know what I am saying, and I am not lying. I am explaining to you Detective James if you could just look up at me please and don't look at me like I am some kind of person who would just like to lie." I sighed, closing my eyes. I turned my head, opening my eyes once again.

"Heh," Jacob said, heheing. "Jacob," I said. I turned my head facing him once again. Jacob all of a sudden had a change in behavior. "Okay, well, Jacob, why did you think David started to like your girlfriend? He didn't pretend, did he? " Jacob shrugged, Jacob heheing once again, but softly chuckled at once. "I don't know, I guess the Holy Spirit just got to him. So he eventually stopped being jealous, at least that's what he told me."

The 8th Day
One day life is good. The next day it isn't! The boundaries between... well, whatever they're between.. have shattered! Monsters burst out from cracks in the universe, and reality suddenly begins to function similar to a game -- but not a game that anyone knows all the rules about! Magic is suddenly real, but so are monsters and death! Lots of death!And the worst part of it all? I think we did it to ourselves! We invented video games, and personally I think that great Finger-in-the-Sky picked up a console somewhere and started playing them. Since He liked what he saw, he must've declared, """"On the 8th Day, let there be Game!"But what do I know about it all, really. After all, I'm just """"The Witness"""" forced to observe it all.__________________________________________________________________________Author's Note: There's a lot of tales where characters get stuck in a Virtual Reality. """"Sword Art Online"""", """"Log Horizon"""", """"The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor"""". This is a story told with the premise inverted -- instead of a person from reality going into a virtual world, what would happen if the virtual world instead came to reality?I want this tale to speak about the aspects of the game, as it has affected the current reality, but the focus of the story should never be on the """"reality-turned-game"""" itself, but on the characters and their oh-so-human struggles, personalities, and attempt to adjust and live within the bounds of their new existence. Hopefully this won't just be a story of """"reality turned into a game"""", but instead will be something more meaningful such as a story of the strengths, perseverance, and humanity of man-kind as they try to adapt and face the unknown.*** And, most importantly, I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. ***WARNING: RATED MATURE M[18+] FOR GORE, SEX, VIOLENCE. The apocalypse isn't a pretty place to try to survive in, and neither is every scene in a story trying to describe it.
