MortalKombat.exe

I was always a fan of Mortal Kombat games, especially the Mortal Kombat Project games, before I started to hate the games. In fact, I hate even hearing about then. One day, when I was surfing the internet for some games for my emulators, I happened to come upon a game titled "MortalKombat.exe." I'm not going to give out the link to the source of the game for the safety of both you and your computer. I digress, I expected it to be dull, but when I looked at the RAM it took up, it said that it takes 2 GB, so I thought to myself that the game would be exciting, because I've never downloaded a Mortal Kombat game that took so much memory.

So, I clicked on the download link and started downloading the game, suprisingly, it took over 4 hours for the entire game to download, the download then finished, but that's when things started to get weird. The download box popped up, letting me know that the download was finished, so I clicked "Run", then my laptop screen burst into static and started playing a frequenly high pitch sound, then the laptop literally went black. I then grunted to myself in anger trying to turn my laptop back on. After a few tries, my laptop finally turned on, the same as it was before except there was the game on my desktop. I thought to myself that the laptop probably just crashed from the large download. So I clicked on the game and it started playing. There was no music playing, the screen showed Goro and there were the words Arcade, Versus, Practice, Options and Exit. So I clicked Arcade and the Mortal Kombat I arcade theme burst out of my speakers violently, nearly shaking the whole house, so I muted my computer thinking nothing of the sound, and what came up, I couldn't believe.

The character selection screen came up showing a total of 276 characters, I was amazed! This was the best Mortal Kombat ever! So I selected one of my favorite characters, Chameleon, only there were 6 versions of him so I chose the Mortal Kombat Trilogy Chameleon. Then a box popped up on the selection screen saying "Choose Stage", there was a total of 500 stages, only making the game better. So I chose my favorite place to fight, the Mortal Kombat 1 pit. When I selected the stage, Shao Kahns voice said "Good Choice Layne". Two things then popped up into my head, 1. How did he know my name? and 2. How is his voice coming up even though my speakers are muted? Then the loading screen came up, I had to fight Hydro, a Mortal Kombat Project character, so I started fighting and finally got to the point where Shao Kahn's voice said "Finish Him!", then, a box popped up showing a list of names, one was my friends name, Jordan. So I clicked "Jordan" just for fun, and then another box came up, saying "Choose Fatality!" then a box popped up saying "Fatality 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and Stage Fatality", I thought that it was awesome that every character had 10 fatalities and a stage finisher, so I chose "Stage Fatality". When I clicked "Stage Fatality", it showed my character, Chameleon, uppercutting Hydro, causing him to fall into the pit's spikes at the bottom. When he hit the ground, very realistic blood shot out of him as he screamed in agony, but Hydro's scream nearly broke my speakers that it was so loud. I was angry that I kept hearing noises from the game, as I'd muted my computer, and confused as to why the noises were so loud. Then the words "Chameleon Wins! Fatality!" came up on the screen, but there was no Shao Kahn saying the name and fatality, Then Shao Kahn's voice came up saying "You will never win, Layne!" and I mean LOUD, then, a bunch of pop-ups saying "MortalKombat.exe is not responding" came up, crashing my laptop. I was frightened. I tried to turn my laptop back on, but it would not power on, I thought that it must have been a virus. Angrily, I put up my laptop, thinking to myself that I could try and fix it in the morning, since I'm good with computers. I then went to bed, trying to sleep but still thinking about why the game knew my name.

I awoke to a ringing noise. It was my iPhone 4. I looked at my phone to check what time it is; 2:30 AM. I then answered the phone only to hear my friend's mom crying. I asked her to tell me what was wrong and what the siren sound in the background was, she told me that the sirens were police and ambulance sirens and that Jordan was dead. He had several large holes in his body.

I bolted downstairs trying to turn on my laptop, but then a message box popped up, saying, "Thank you for playing, Layne! But I told you, you will never win." I was screaming and crying in horror and despair, as several message boxes popped up saying "NEVER", then the worst thing ever happened to me; a bunch of pictures of dead adults, children and babies popped up on the screen, then a message box popped up saying "Look at Him!" then a picture of my friend Jordan was shown, his eyes gouged out and his intestines popped out laying on the floor, he also had several gory holes in his body. The screen then went black and a Mortal Kombat font came up saying "Layne Wins! Fatality!!!" the screen then went black.

It has been four months since the incident, and I am traumatized by it, just like anybody else would be. The police found the man who killed Jordan. Oddly, he's the creator of the game I downloaded. Yesterday, I was flipping through the channels on my TV and I saw Jordan's killer in court on a TV show. I had to watch. After about 5 minutes, the judge asked him what he had to say before he was sentenced to death. He responded by looking at the camera and saying, "Layne, you will never win", violently laughing as the bailiff carried him away.
