Ch. 1 The Game

I was sitting down, in my desk, at school. I sighed and whispered to my friend Lenny, "When is this gonna be over."

Lenny said, "It's only been 3 minutes." "Well it feels like it's been hours."

The teacher then looked at me and said, "Talking again Mr. Washington, detention." I said, "Nooo."

I was now sitting in detention. By the way I forgot to mention my name is John. Anyways, there was about 30 seconds left in detention I was counting down in my head, "29, 28, 27, 26, 25."

I was still counting down then the teacher said, "Well it's time to go, I hope you learned your lesson John.

I nodded my head and ran out. I went straight home and then ran into my dad.

My dad said, "Where do you think you're going mister." I said, "To my room, I about to download a game I've been wanting for ages, DC Universe online."

"Not today son, you got detention for the third time this week, that's a new record and I'm not happy about it. Second, we've got guest coming over," said my dad.

I said, "Is the Minister coming over again." He said, "No, it's Lenny's parents. We're going to have a discussion about you and Lenny's behavior. I mean come on John do you know what you're mother would say if she was here.

I looked down and shed a tear remembering what happened to my mother.

Flashback:

I was sitting in the backseat of the car. I was 8. We just had gotten back from a trip to Florida and we were heading back to Mississippi.

Everyone was laughing and talking. Then we stooped at an intersection and my dad said, "Let's get a picture before the light turns green. We all got in the picture and took it.

We were smiling and laughing. The light turns green and the car moves forward, but just as we got in the middle a large truck trying to run the light drove and hit us on our left.

Everything went blurry, then it got clear and I looked at the scene sirens were heard, people watched in awe, my dads' head had a cut, I had some bruises and my arm was bleeding, and my mother had her eyes closed and she was dead.

I cried and my dad was trying to get my mother to wake up as the medics opened the door and took us into my mother into an ambulance. :Flashback ends. I looked up at my dad as he left to prepare dinner.

The dinner was okay but I kinda snuck up into my to download the game on my PlayStation 3.

I looked up on my screen and saw that it was gonna be 16 hours.

I said, "16 HOURS! Come on, I'll guess I'll just background download.

I did so and yawned, "I'm getting really sleepy." I then closed my eyes and went to sleep.

I woke up and smiled. I looked at my PS3 and saw that the download was almost complete. I then took one look at my clock it read 7:30. I said, "Ah, 7:30. WAIT, 7:30! Got to get to school!

I threw on some clothes, grabbed my backpack, and grabbed my cereal box and ran outside. I ate some cereal while I ran.

When I got to the school due to it being not far away I threw the cereal away, ran inside, opened the door to my classroom, and no one was there. I said, "Huh." Then the old Janitor came by and said, "Sonny, what are you doing here."

I said, "Um… where's everyone at." The Janitor said, "It's Saturday, idiot." I said, "Oh." I then began walking away. The Janitor muttered, "Youngsters these days, pack of crazy fools."

I opened the door to my home and went up to my room. I turned on the TV and saw the download was complete.

I then grabbed my phone and called Lenny I said, "Lenny, it's done downloading." Lenny said, "I'll be right over.

A few minutes later Lenny knocked on my door and came in. He sat on my bed and I began to play DC Universe online.

I watched the intro and created my character, he had super speed and telekinesis. As it began there was a knock on my door.

It was our mailman he said, "Got a package for you, it's already been paid.

I took the package and signed the clipboard. I opened it and it was flashdrive. I said, "Wha? Lenny said, What's that." I said, "It's flashdrive. I'm gonna plug it in my PS3."

I did and the screen went black.

I cried in terror and went to go take it out when I disappeared.

Lenny did the same thing and I woke up in a pod being looked at by machines
