“Paw Patrol: Digital Rescue”

by S Seth Ogle

Adventure Bay is plunged into chaos when a dimensional glitch freezes the town in a digital tableau. Ryder, disconnected from his pups, must join forces with a mysterious AI entity to navigate a distorted reality, fix a malfunctioning core, and reboot Adventure Bay before it's trapped forever.

1. Static on the PAW

Ryder, a ten-year-old with a keen sense of adventure, enjoyed his morning routine. But as he tapped his pup pad, a jolt of static erupted from the device, sending shivers down his spine. The PAW Patrol logo usually blazed to life, accompanied by a cheerful jingle. Today, an unsettling silence followed the static.

Ryder tried again, but the pup pad remained unresponsive. A prickle of unease crawled up his neck. This had never happened before. Rushing to the lookout window, he scanned Adventure Bay for any sign of trouble. Everything appeared normal. The usual hustle and bustle of the seaside town unfolded below – people walking their dogs, seagulls squawking overhead, Alex running after his frisbee in the park.

Just as Ryder dismissed the static as a one-time glitch, the town froze. People stopped mid-motion, their expressions vacant. Alex stood frozen, his frisbee hanging in mid-air. An unsettling silence descended upon Adventure Bay, broken only by the distant cry of a seagull.
