Dead Man's Resolution — Thomas K. Carpenter

Tibor Case longs to escape high school and move onto his real life, the one he knows will be infinitely better than his current one. His only relief from the drudgery of school comes when he escapes to Old Detroit to play games him and his best friend, William, created for their augmented reality shades.

When Tibor stumbles upon a dead man in a dumpster with a high-tech system and decides he wants to see what's on it, he learns that life outside his small, little world has gotten stranger than the games he plays.

This is a short story.
