Second chapter complete! (Yes, I am definitely obsessed!) But read on and enjoy!

Disclaimer: Still don't own the Matrix, but . . . . I have plans . . . . lots of plans . . .

Okay, I know, on with the story . . . .


MUSE is the computer slang term for a type of multi-user simulation environment that changes as various users participate and create new aspects. It also happens to be the screen name that I use when I am up late hacking into the computer systems of various organizations and companies.

I sat down in my chair trying to decide what to do. Somehow, I stumbled upon the idea of typing a response.

Who are you?

My name is Glitch, but that is not important. So what is?

What do you want from me?

Go to the library to study.

Why?

They're after you.

Who? I was getting annoyed with these cryptic responses.

Go down the stairs and out the front exit and you will see them.

Right now?

Yes. I shrugged. What else could I do?

Okay, I'm going. I grabbed my chemistry book and notes and headed for the door. I then glanced back at the computer screen, half expecting to see my normal desktop screen.

Don't forget your keys. I looked down and realized that my keys were sitting on the dresser. I despise my carelessness.

Thinking wisely for once that early morning, I took the stairs instead of the elevator. Every step I took seemed to sound louder than ever. I laughed to myself. If my friends could see me now, just imagine how much they would make fun of me.

I glanced around the corner, and standing right there just inside the front doors were two men dressed in black suits and sunglasses. I quickly moved to the door, continually looking behind me. I heard the sound of the men running up the stairway on the opposite side of the building. Pushing the door open slowly, I slipped outside into the cold night air and manually shut the door. Then I started running.


End of chapter two! Please R&R! Because it's going to get a lot more exciting from here on, I promise! Meaning hold on to your hat Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye!

Chapter three likely to appear when I get at least five reviews. Come on, people. I have faith that you can do it! Until next time . . .
