            "Oh, goody!" Sam exclaimed as she turned on her computer. "Minesweeper!" Sam was the Queen of Minesweeper, having beat Advanced in less than half a minute. A golden crown sat atop her computer, signifying her accomplishments in the game.

            The girl of thirteen, with brown hair and eyes, looked dull, but was truly a intellectual person. She had memorized all 23,984,654 ways to win Minesweeper, and could easily beat each screen with a few clicks here and another click there. As her computer finished booting up, she started Minesweeper.

            "Start, Programs, Accessories, Games, Minesweeper," she mumbled to herself. After the window was open, she moved the window to the center of the screen, cracked her knuckles, rolled her head, and clicked. And clicked. And clicked.

            Several clicks later, she was finished. She hadn't beaten her top score, but she had a whole eight hours before she had to go to bed. She worked hard into the night, not noticing the hours dwindling away. When she finally realized what time it was—4:30 AM—she rushed upstairs to her room to get at least a bit of sleep.

            Turning off the light, she jumped into bed, said her prayers, and went to sleep. That was when the Minesweeper flags planned their revenge…

            Sam was running from the little red flags that were attacking her like the dinosaurs did in Jurassic Park 2. Trying to keep them away and keep herself safe, she whipped them with a…mouse? Yes, it was a mouse, optical with scrolling, her favorite mouse. She had named it Cam. The little red flags were gaining on her, and growing in number.

            "Watch out, Indiana Sam!" a mysterious voice called.

            Indiana Sam?! She thought, looking around. Surely enough, she was now wearing leather pants, a white shirt, and a floppy hat. Her mouse was a whip, her speakers a thrown weapon. She threw the speakers at the little red flags in a desperate attempt to save herself. Then she had an idea.

            Whipping up the computer mouse, she attached it to a beam in the ceiling of the building she was in. She hoisted herself up, and escaped through the roof. But, alas, there were little blue question marks up there, ready to bludgeon her to death. In a last, futile attempt, she jumped from the four hundred bajillion story building, and was falling, falling, falling…

           

            Sam woke up, sitting up straight. Her alarm clock was "deet-deet-deet"-ing, and she had missed first period.

            I knew I should have never bought a computer
