Chapter 2
Ten years later.
"Run Daniel!" Bloodcurdling scream. Gunshot. Daniel shot up from a bed and looked around. He was in a hospital looking place and he saw a strange symbol on the wall. "Hello? Anybody? Where am I?" A door opened and a scientist walks in. "Wow. You're finally awake." "Yes, I am? But what happened? Where am I?"
"Calm down. All will be explained, but first can you tell me the last thing you remember?" Daniel thinks for a minute, then he says: "I can't remember anything. Who am I?" "Ok listen, your name is Daniel Anderson. You're 16 years old. And not only you've got Amnesia, but you just woke up from a one year coma."
Daniel's eyes widened and says: "I was in a coma?" "Yes. There was a...accident. And your mum is unfortunately dead." "What about my dad?" The scientist thinks for a second before saying: "We are still trying to contact him. Here, in the meantime, here's your phone." The scientist hands a phone to Daniel before leaving the room.
Daniel turns on the phone and stares at it. He decides to have a look at the app store. A notification for a free app appeared immediately. It was called: "Mal0 ver1.0.0." He reads the description, it says: "Never settle for those awkward feelings of being alone ever again. Mal0 is an exciting and interactive experience that will keep you engaged and intrigued. The anxiety of social situations can be nerve racking, but after just a few hours of Mal0 you will soon forget all about those painful emotions of disappointment. Be part of the new craze that is quickly becoming the next social substitute. Remember, the more you participate, the more Mal0 will engage you. Your experience is completely up to you. Absolutely no ads. Enjoy."
Daniel stares at the phone app, "Well, it's better than having Amnesia," he says before installing the app.
