Jake P.O.V.

These may have been the absolute weirdest days of my life. Who knew that visions are real? Not me, that's for sure. And see why, because I'm gonna explain it all in just a moment about how my one lil' game could change someone's outlook on his life.

Now, let me start off about me. Hi, I'm Jake. I'm 19, and I live in Pennsylvania. Or at least was. I worked at a Bojangles(™), which I had a pretty normal life, working with one of my greatest bros, Garrett. We both love playing games together every once in awhile, and which then we would play anything we could.

It was a Saturday night, so me and Garrett were off work. Luckily for us, Garrett had bought the newest Legend of Zelda(™) game, which we both were super crazed for. So, of course, he texted me the first chance he got and I headed over instantly. Garrett wasn't exactly expecting me, so when he heard me arrive at his door, then he was pretty surprised.

"Oh, hey Jake. Didn't know you were coming so soon." Garrett said as he opened the door to let me in.

"Come on Garrett, you know I wouldn't pass up a chance like this, playing the game we waited so long for!"

Garrett sighed and smiled. He moved out of the way so I could come in, as he sat down on the couch and started up the Switch. That thing always looked awesome in the commercials, but in real life it seemed even cooler. I took my seat next to Garrett, where I always sat, and let the couch cradle around me and make a butt print, thinking that I would be there for a while longer than I actually would be.

As Garrett opened up the software, an ear-piercing crackle sounded outside, which told of an oncoming storm approaching. Rain began pounding on the windows and roof, requesting entry.

"Good thing you got here when you did, otherwise you may not have made it in one piece!" Garrett joked, elbowing me. I cracked a grin. The opening screen of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild came up onto the T.V. screen. Another set of thunder sounded, closer. Garrett scrolled over to the "New Game" button, and pressed the A button. The screen went black as the first cutscene began playing. But before the rest of the cutscene could play, a bolt of lightning struck the satellite, knocking out the breaker. All the lights in the house turned off, and we were thrust into darkness.

"Crap. The breaker must have blown. I'll try and go get the power back on, so you stay here." Garrett said. I shrugged and laid back on the couch. Then I began to become curious. 'If the switch can come out of the holder, maybe I could play a bit while Garrett fixes the power' I thought, so I slid the controllers into the slots on the side of the gamepad and the Switch flickered back to life and the cutscene began playing again.

"Jake…" whispered a female voice, coming for the gamepad. 'Wait a minute… is it supposed to say that?' I wondered.

"Jake…" whispered the female voice again, a bit louder. Suddenly, I couldn't feel my feet. I looked down, and to my astoundment, my feet were turning into glowing blue strands, along with my legs! I was freaking out, but nothing came out of my mouth. Soon, the glowing blue began enveloping around my chest, and rising.

"Jake." the female voice said again, this time not whispering. The blue-ish glow was reaching my neck, and climbing. Finally, it enveloped my head, consuming my entire body, along with my sight and conscious as I disappeared from the couch and the blue strands evaporating through the ceiling.

Garrett P.O.V.

"The power's back, Jake!" I said as the lights flickered back on, shutting the power box. I trotted back to the living room, expecting to see Jake either already playing the game, or dieing of boredom. Instead, he was nowhere to be seen, and the Switch was lying on the couch in the place of his cushion. Did he leave? I looked outside the window to see if he had left or not, but his car was still in the driveway.

'Maybe he's in the bathroom' I thought. I sat down on the couch, waiting for him to return. 2 minutes passed. Then 5 minutes. Then 10. 'Maybe he fell in. He certainly is taking his time.' I pondered. Another 5 minutes passed. Nothing. I was beginning to get worried.

"Jake? Jaaakkee? Jake!" I called. I waited for an answer, but the only response I heard was from the storm outside. It had let up after I had fixed the breaker. I began searching around the house for Jake. Bedroom, kitchen, guest bedroom, attic, closet, I checked everywhere. No Jake. By now my brain had been hard scrabbled and fried into oblivion to try to find the guy, but he obviously wasn't anywhere here. I panicked. 'Did someone hurt my friend? No, he's pretty much a saint. Well, to me. Where did he go!?'

I pulled out my phone and sent him a text: dude, where are u!? I can't find u any where here! git bac to meh soon! and then turned it off. Little did I know one of my greatest pals would end up in only a place I could only imagine in my wildest dreams. But then, the only thing I could think was,

Where on earth was he?
