"You made me rush over here, in fear for your life, to fix a
COMPUTER?!" Jenny inquired upon her younger brother in rage.
"And you think this ins't an emergency?" Joey spat back.
"Couldn't you have just waited or done something else? You really scared me when you didn't tell me much."
"But the screen won't move and I have to play my game." Joey replied, frustrated.
"Fine, I'll fix it!" Jenny gave in. "Just go to your room!" She belted uncharacteristicly. She wasn't quite sure where that had come from and felt even more confused when Joey obeyed willingly.
Jenny sat in the chair and closed her eyes for a moment, regaining what little control she had left. Next she opened them she found herself staring into the face of the computer, peering into yet another sceen of torment and torture.
It was still the same Julian from before, but now he was drowing to death, caught in a stillframe of him just below the water's surface, and helpless hand reaching above the water for a rescue that would never come.
Jenny felt a chill run through her as she scanned the graveyard of all about 50 stones, all of which read the same name.
She took a deep breath and tried to exit the program...nothing. She tried the restart button...nope. Shut it down...why won't this work? Becoming frustrated she tugged on the wire going to the outlet and felt a horrible sensation when the computer remained running, only now the screen was moving, showing the character thrash and kick in the water of a large pool.
Jenny heard herself scream as she called for Joey, only to find no response. She lept up to call Dee,
Tom...anyone. She punched in the numbers and just as Dee picked up the phone, the Julian on the screen dissapeared from view under the water and his screaming stopped abruptly.
Silence filled the room until Dee's voice sounded.
"What's up?"
Jenny stared at the spot Julian had dissapeared in silence.
"Hello?"
"Yeah, it's Jenny. Look...um..." She trailed off. What just happened, was it her mind? Had she just over-reacted?
"Jenny! What happened? You just left so suddenly...you okay?"
"Yeah, everything's fine, I'm just calling to let you know." The fib rolled out of her before she had time to properly think.
"Oh good, Tom was frantic thinking something happened.
"Well everything's fine, thanks." She repeated. "Bye."
"See ya." Dee said, hanging up the phone and leaving Jenny in utter quietness.
"Maybe I just over-reacted. Maybe the computer has a back up system or something." Jenny murmered to herself, unconvincingly.
She reached to try the escape key again and everything went black.
"And you think this ins't an emergency?" Joey spat back.
"Couldn't you have just waited or done something else? You really scared me when you didn't tell me much."
