Elias spent hours lost in the simulation. He fended off a Polish hussar charge with a thin line of musketeers, the screen clouded by thick, white plumes of digital gunpowder. But as the sun began to rise outside his real window, the line between the desk and the battlefield blurred. He could swear he heard the jingling of spurs in the hallway.
