🎮 Dive Into Fun: short story,
The AR Pet Adventure

Lily always wanted a pet, but her apartment didn't allow animals. Her tech-savvy friend Jake suggested she try an AR pet app that projected a virtual pet right into her living room.

One day, Lily decided to "adopt" a virtual puppy named Max. She put on her AR glasses and watched as Max appeared, wagging his tail and barking happily.

Lily laughed and said, "Look, Jake! Max is so cute!" She threw a virtual ball, and Max chased after it, running right through the coffee table.

Jake chuckled, “I guess Max doesn't need to worry about furniture!”

As Max ran around, he suddenly started digging at the floor. Lily exclaimed, “Jake, why is Max digging?”

Jake grinned and replied, “He's digging for virtual bones! At least he won't make a mess.”

They both laughed as Max “dug” up a bone and proudly brought it back to Lily. For the first time, Lily felt like she had the perfect pet — one that never needed feeding or cleaning up after.
