Found solace in imaginary games from "summary" of A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer

I retreated to my own world, a world of make-believe where I could escape the harsh reality of my day-to-day existence. In my mind, I was a brave knight, gallivanting through enchanted forests and slaying dragons to save damsels in distress. I was a fearless explorer, traversing treacherous terrains in search of hidden treasure. I was a valiant hero, rescuing innocent victims from evil villains. These imaginary games provided me with a sense of control and empowerment that I lacked in my real life. In my make-believe world, I was the master of my own destiny, free to shape my own adventures and conquer my own challenges. I found solace in the familiarity and predictability of these imaginary scenarios, finding comfort in the fact that I could always rely on them to transport me away from the pain and suffering that awaited me at home. As I immersed myself in these make-believe worlds, I could momentarily forget the hunger pangs that gnawed at my stomach and the bruises that covered my body. The physical pain that I endured seemed to fade into the background as I became engrossed in my imaginary quests and escapades. I could escape the harsh reality of my abusive home life, if only for a brief moment, and find refuge in the safety and security of my own imagination. Despite the hardships that I faced on a daily basis, I clung to the hope that one day, my imaginary games would become a reality. I dreamed of a better life, one where I could be truly free and unburdened by the weight of my past. But until that day came, I would continue to seek solace in my make-believe worlds, finding comfort in the knowledge that no matter how bleak my reality may be, I could always retreat to the sanctuary of my imagination.
