Caught Doing More Than Looking

The whole affair felt dirty. It was wrong and I did it anyway. Looking back, as it was happening; all I could do was ask myself why? Why did I allow myself to consider the act much less actually doing it? What has led me down this path of infidelity?

I am only human. Of course there have been stolen glances throughout the years, but nothing ever came of those. This however is far from glancing. No this was something more, something substantial. I am not sure where this is all going and once it is done, will I be welcomed back?

Make no mistake, I kept it all hidden. I remained silent and never tipped my hand that I was astray. Thankfully there was no one to recognize me as I did my dirt. How could I face them? What would they say? Damn it man, the shame. Oh, the shame. Even as I type this, I feel like I need a shower. That won’t do any good. You can’t scrub away a guilty conscience.

The revelation.
The guilt had me in its grips, I had to come clean. If I was going to admit this, I was going to do it on my terms. Knowing normal routines would play to my advantage. It has to be done, why not make it as simple as possible?

The conversation started like countless others. Overwhelmed with guilt, my confession poured out of me! Finally it was out; my dirty little secret was revealed. As I continued to try and explain myself, the questions kept coming. It was all so new to me, I had few answers and plenty of question of my own.

I never wanted it this way. I did not want my weakness to affect anyone else more than was necessary. It all happened so fast. It seemed as no sooner as I was done confessing, my temptress closed her grip on another. I was cast aside as she began her seductive dance. I was no longer alone in my sin. Within the hour, she had claimed another. Inside of two hours of my confession, this succubus had two more. My indiscretion has now led to the fall of three others.

TL-DR
On Friday night I downloaded and installed Rift. By the time I confessed on Saturday morning I had a level 12 Mage whose primary soul is Warlock. Within two hours of my confession, Razer, Tuck and Kik had all followed my lead. The rest of the weekend has been a blur.

None of us have abandon WoW. We have just decided to take the new girl in town out for a date or two. She may not be my steady but she did have enough appeal, to get the four of us to slap down $50 – $60 each. I am not sure if that says more about us or more about the current state of WoW.
