Line 1:
Freshman year I met Mike. He was Indian, chubby, and was usually shy most of the time. Most of my other friends used to make fun of him because his obsession (yes, that’s the best way to put it) with Sonic the Hedgehog. Everyday, and no, I’m not exaggerating, he would ask the same question: "''Do you like Sonic?''
I personally hate Sonic, but whenever he’d ask I told him Yeah Mike, I love it!, and others lie to make him stop asking. His favorite game was Sonic Colors. The reason I remember this is because he also told me that every day. After asking the horrific question which is "Do you like Sonic?
Like I told you, we shared the same P.E. class. One day, we had to run five laps- four is equivalent to a mile. We were freshman, so this was a lot for us. I got to the third lap and I was suffering. It was at least 95 degrees out, and it was difficult to walk let alone run. But running up behind me I saw Mike, he was running, drenched in sweat, like he was just taking a shower in his clothes. You could smell his filth from far away like… a hedgehog. I looked at him, asked him "Lap?
A month passed, and Mike never asked me my views toward the blue hedgehog on crack. It was October, and our school was having a costume contest. I was never into dressing up, but Mike apparently was. I was sitting next to the catwalk where the contest was taking place, and a blue figure was walking down it. It was Mike with a blue shirt and pants, his hair spiked up, and his whole body was completely painted blue. He was smiling. As he walked past me he looked at me with green eyes now.

That day I wanted to avoid him- he scared me. I tried to run away but he was too… fast. I felt him tap my shoulder and I shuddered. "Guess who I am? Just Guess!
Mike didn’t come the next day. I asked him the day after that why he wasn’t there and he told me he finally saved enough money to buy the Sonic Unleashed game he always talked about. He was left burrowed up in his home like… a hedgehog. He also said he was going to live stream it on Twitch that night, and sent me the link by email. I told him I’d watch it, but I didn’t want to see his live stream. He figured out the next day that I didn’t watch his live stream because he had zero views and he was upset with me. He was as angry as… a hedgehog.
That night I knew I needed to see his live stream. I didn’t have an account so I tried to make one with the username "
Nothing unusual happened for the rest of the year. When I got back sophomore year I saw Mike- he looked horrible. He was obviously malnourished, his skin was a light tint of blue. He smiled when he saw me. "I went on a diet over the summer. I’m so skinny, I bet you I can run faster now too. I’m so happy now! Do you like Sonic?
When I got home I inserted the disk into my Wii. It started up like normal (Or, normal enough, I know nobody actually played that shit). I finally thought it was time to play after the intro, but my character, Sonic, looked at the screen. He told me "I am the based god now!
I no longer go to my school, I live the homeless life like… a hedgehog. My friends told me that Mike left the school, I presume he is going to spread his religion elsewhere. Good for him. I am forced to run from Sonic, he chases me, I see him everywhere. Whenever I see him I run, while I keep telling myself ''gotta go faster, faster, faster…''
