"Ahhh...," I yawned.

I arose from my bed and went to the bathroom. I filled the cup with water and got out my toothbrush and some toothpaste. You know, my life as a kid is just a normal life. I have black hair, and it seemed like I grew up in such a short time. I wore glasses with a blue tint. Nothing unusual about my life. I squeezed the bottle and blue paste oozed out of the end. Today was the first day of seventh grade so I hurried. I quickly swallowed the water, gargled and spat it back out. Now was the time for a hearty meal before I start the day out. When I walked downstairs it was dead silent. My parents left for work early as usual. I helped myself to a bowl, a spoon, and a gallon of milk. "Where the heck does mom put the cereal?" I said to myself as I opened each cabinet one by one. "Aha!" I grabbed the cereal box. "Cool! New cereal!" I exclaimed.

It was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It contains every essential vitamin that a growing kid needs. I poured the milk and cereal into bowl. I watched the glowing square wheat pieces full of cinnamon cascade onto the milk. "Yummy!" I picked up the spoon and ate those square little pieces. It was so scrumptious and sweet. My kitchen was pretty small for my house. There was a small flat screen TV in the corner of the counter. I picked up the remote and switched the TV on. There seemed to be a commercial in progress. On the TV screen there was a black background it said 'The ALTNET Effect'. It was like an old fashioned black and white movie. The next scene appeared. There seemed to be a fourteen year old boy lying on a couch. He looked very bored and depressed. All of the sudden, a middle-aged man appeared onto the screen. "Billy, why the long face?" he asked.

"There's nothing to do," he replied. "There're no more fun games to play and its just so booooring,"

"Well, you won't be after you get 'Fantasia Online'," the man replied.

"Wow. That seems so cool," the boy said sarcastically.

The man didn't know the boys sarcasm and said, "Yeah, I know! It has the first ever discovered VR feature!" the man excitedly yelled.

Now the boy seemed really interested. "Cool! Virtual Reality!" he yelled.

"It by far surpasses its 2004 predecessor, 'The Twilight Crisis', which used 2D cell shaded characters,"

That scene then ended and the narrator began to talk. "Fantasia Online is a revolutionary 3D VR game! Has new features like clans, new weapons and armor, new items, and new quests! Also, you have the ability to expand your party to 11 people and clans can hold as much people as you want! Also if you call this number right now, ALTNET will automatically enter you in the contest to win exclusive legendary characters!" he stated.

The commercial came to an end. "I doubt ALTNET will make much money on this new game. The Twilight Crisis caused people to enter a VR coma," I said to myself. But even though I have no chance of winning the contest, I picked up the phone and dialed the number. Oddly, the call got through pretty quick. A voice said, "Please state your e-mail address,"

I replied, ,"

"Thank you for entering," the voice said and I hung up.

I hung up and said to myself, "If I win it, which I won't I should just probably give it to my friend."

I finished the last square piece of my cereal and looked at the clock. "Dang it! I'm late for school!" I exclaimed at the top of my lungs.

I hurriedly grabbed my backpack and headed out the door.
