An entire week
went by and there was little word from her friends. The letter from
Tali said 'Tali is unable to go anywhere for the time being, please
mail and or email in a week or so.' And the one from Saushi said 'I'm
really sorry krissy, all I can say is not to go through with it. I'm
in the middle of a family crisis.' But one letter brought more. It
was from Arynn. 'Let it consume your life again.' was all it said, it
was a pacage with Final Fantasy IX in it. "Should I really?"
She asked Kale, "your friend sent it for a good reason. I'll
keep an eye out for jerkface if you need it Kith." Krissy
grabbed an old blue memory card from her pocket and plugged it into
the system. "Not needed, he's going to the alps with Jenny
today, they'll be there for a month." Kale grabbed her purse.
"Want me to pick up some ice cream and stuff?" She said
grabbing her keys. "Sure, I'm gonna head to my moms sometime
tonight. I'm gonna write a note please give it to jerkface when he
comes back." "Your running?" Kale replied. Krissy only
nodded as she wrote the note. Kale went out to the car to buy the
treats as Krissy looked at her game. 'Dare I? This very game made and
broke my life from 13 to 20... Would I go back to the addiction so
willingly? I remember how happy it made me... But I missed out on
everything I would have loved.' Krissy put the disk into the system.
'So long as I can remember happiness and allow myself to be once more
sucked into this wonderful game again... Even for the last time.'
Krissy went on and clicked new game when the power went out. 'Just my
luck, must be a sign to tell me not to play... I dont care, I want
this. I long to be taken over again.' Suddenly the power came on
again and started to shock Krissy, with every shock her body started
to fade. As the last shock came, her body vanished.
15 minutes
later!
"Kith!" Kale said when she got back. "I
got the supplies and- hm? She's only at the begining screen? She
wouldnt have left without the game" Kale put the groceries away
and walked over to the game set. The screen showed a girl in rags on
the ground. The print read, 'Depression. When someone leaves you,
they arent comming back.' "Kith?"
