It was Friday night as twenty-one-year-old Jana Proudmoore sat down at her desk, her roommate was out with her boyfriend so Jana had the whole room to herself. She switched on her computer and watched as the screen was loading…
Ever since her Freshman year of college, she'd been playing World of Warcraft. Now, she was in her Junior year of college and preferred to stay in and play WoW, than party with the other girls in her dorm.
Though Jana loved fashion, she wasn't your typical twenty-one-year-old. She liked to read Manga, watch Anime and play video games, but Jana was pretty though, with her long brown hair and green eyes she had caught the eye of many guys but wasn't interested in any one of them, preferring her male character on WoW.
As Jana was logging on the game, there was a storm that was brewing outside. However, this didn't deter her in the least, as she had stuff she to do on the game and nothing was going to stop her, not even a lousy thunderstorm. After logging onto her character, she quickly queued for a dungeon. While waiting though, she began to fantasize about her character.
Jon was hot! With his wavy brown hair and his brown eyes, he was everything she ever wanted in a man and then some! Sometimes, she would log onto the game just to stare at him and oh how she wished, he was real…
Jana was the tank and as she was clearing the path of enemies, she began to notice the computer was flickering. Assuming it was the storm, she shrugged it off and resumed her game. As the group was rounding the corner to fight a boss, Jana's computer began to flicker again and this time it was accompanied by the sound of static. Great, she thought her computer was about to crash just as the group was about to fight a boss. Then she thought, how embarrassing it would be if her computer decided to crash now during a boss fight and she shuddered at the thought. As the group was attacking the boss, Jana heard a loud crack causing her computer to crash and her to fall off her chair, knocking her out…
Jana woke up an hour later with a headache. Looking around her room, she noticed the power was out. As her eyes began adjusting to the dark, she began to feel that she wasn't alone. Scanning the room, she noticed a dark figure sitting on her bed. As she reached for her cell phone, she heard a voice say "Oh you're up now!"
"Who are you and what are you doing in my room?" Jana frantically asked.
At this point, the power came back on and she immediately recognized the figure on her bed.
She couldn't believe it, it was Jon was sitting on her bed! But how can this be, she thought…
"How, did you get in here? This is impossible, you're not real, you're just a character in a video game!" Jana said.
"Oh but I'm more than a character in a video game, Jana!" exclaimed Jon.
"You know my name?" asked Jana in disbelief.
"Ever since you created me, Jana, I've known all about you," said Jon.
This must be a dream, she thought and then she pinched herself.
"Nope, this is real!" Jana said out loud as she felt the pain.
Then a thought occurred to her, he can't be here the dorms. She had to hide him before her roommate came back, she had to think of something quick or risk being kicked out or worse, losing Jon…
