Cht.3

Alex took her bag upstairs saying a brief hello to her mom and she closed her bedroom door as she took out her computer and frowned at her homework. Alex discarded it and logged in. Her computer's battery blinked and Alex banged her computer in frustration.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Alex groaned and launched Minecraft, maybe for the thirtieth time that day. Or something. She decided that she would play until it was dead.

About 30 minutes later Alex's computer blinked off. Alex scraped through her bed sheets to find the cable and suddenly a low humming came from her computer. Alex grabbed her cable and stuffed it into the wall.

"It must be restarting," Alex muttered as the computer's humming grew louder so she could hear it. She plugged in her computer and with a bang she fell back against her bag with an oomph. The computer emitted a bright light and it gave a hissing sound as Alex felt herself being pulled toward it. She grabbed frantically at the floor boards and the grasped onto a blanket under the bed but it came loose and Alex slowly felt herself lose the feeling to her legs and she plummeted into the humming light screaming as she fell dozens of dozens of yards.

Slowly the computer gave a burp and the humming stopped and it closed again with a purr as it blinked from red to orange in the charger.
