End Your Friends?
I'm posting my final entry here. I can't take this much more, so I'll post my experince to the internet, before I make this final choice.
I've lost all my friends, let me just start from the beginning.
It was a hot summer's day. College was starting in about a month's time. I was never one for the outdoors; I was always an indoorsman myself, preferring to watch Batman episodes on YouTube rather than going shopping or doing any physical sports.
I'm a very... secluded person. I only like spending time with the people closest to me, so as a result it hurts me deeply if I see something insulting on the internet, or I lose a friend who I considered close. I grew to loathe the statement: "Never take anything seriously on the internet." What's the point? I do not have much of a life
Anyway, It all started when I was doing my daily internet start-up routine (Log on, check my Facebook, go on YouTube, listern to some music there, watch some Batman TAS episodes, then mess around for the rest of the day)... but, something different happened. You know how in between Google searches you have Ads on the side advertising something you were searching for? Well, in between my startup search for Facebook, an ad caught my eye:
"End all emotional pain today:
For a better, healthier minded you! You'll never feel the same again!"
Laughing it off as a mere scam, I clicked it too see what it was. I opened it in a new tab, and when it was fully loaded it was just a blank white page. I sighed, annoyed it wasted my valuable internet time and went to click the close button, but as I did, I thought I heard a slight sound coming from my speakers. Shrugging it off, I closed the tab and continued my day. After checking my Facebook, I signed in on Skype during my loading to YouTube.
After spending the day on the computer and sighing that I inevitably wasted another day of my life, I hit the shut down selection from my start menu. Now, I'm a lazy man and don't bother with closing my programs before shutting down, so I let Windows do it for me, just clicking "End Now" when needed, but that's when the strange started to happen. The end of my life.
The pop-up to end Skype popped up first as usual, but instead of the usual Skype name on the top of the End Now message prompt it said: "End Program: Michael.Exe", the name of my best friend who I was just talking to. Shrugging it off as some minor virus I just got, I clicked "End Now". But, Skype shut down, obviously not the program it mentioned. I yawned, promising to deal with the problem tommrow, waited for my monitor to show the familiar "Windows is shutting down" screen, before turning off my monitor and lying down, drifting to sleep.
The next few days were odd, I never saw my best friend online, which was odd, cause he was like me; preferring to browse the internet and to play video games.
I shrugged it off as him going on a unannounced family holiday or something, but after the eighth day, I just HAD to go to his house, to make sure he was okay... most people here in the UK- me and my friend included- don't have holidays longer than a week, that's when I found out. I rang the doorbell to be greeted by my friend's mother in tears, obvious pain and sadness in her eyes. She knew that I wanted to see Michael, but she quickly told me he's been missing for over a week: ten days to specific.
Ten days?... that was when my Skype acted weird
After thanking and conforting her, I left to go back to my house, trying to fight back tears myself. I may never see my friend again. I was never the one to show strong emotion, I always tried to remain emotionally strong for both my friends and family, so this was difficult within itself to control.
Days passed waiting for my friend; no word, each day spent asking my other friends, getting the same answer:
"We ain't heard anything bro."
The gliches kept happening, my friends list kept shrinking and shrinking, until it hit me hard, I hit shut down
"End Program: William." William, William was the name of my boyfriend! Gulping, I clicked yes; surely whatever this thing was causing all this wouldn't destroy true love? Could all of this been connected to that damn advert? Yes.
I singlehandedly killed my boyfriend. I spent weeks crying out my guts until that error message, just now popped up. I didn't even choose to shut down my computer. I was responsible for all their deaths.
"End Program: Richard.exe."
My name.
This is where I am now, writing this to warn you all not to click that advert, ever. Don't even dare, out of curiosity. It destroyed whatever little life I have and shaped me into nothing. Goodbye my friends I'll be with you soon.
