Line 1:
It was back in 2006, late March. The 24th, to be exact. My friend Roy had just gotten the new Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion, for the PC. Now, to this day,
After that, I went home. I needed to find out what was happening. Maybe it was the game? I had my doubts, but it was the only thing that had recently changed
I had to do it. I opened the disc tray, and shut off his computer, taking the disc out before. He looked as if he had been having a seizure, shortly afterwards. I did my best imitation of his voice, and yelled "Mom!" I snuck out the back door, locking it behind me. I heard his Mom scream. At least she knew now. I kept trying to think of a rational explanation. I didn't see bright or flashing lights, and he only had it when I took it out. This was too weird.
Line 9:
I typed y, and hit enter. "You find yourself in a cave, with a rope, a stick, and a piece of charcoal. What do you do?" It asked. The answer was easy. "Make Torch." I type, and click enter. "Torch Made. What do you do now?" It asks. "Go North." I type. "You find a pile of sticks. What now?" It said. "Take two sticks." I typed. "What now?" It asked. "Light torch" I typed. "You discover a goblin. What do you do?" It asked. I smirk. "Light on fire." I typed. "Goblin Burned, what now?"

It asked. I suppose it probably could have a response for home. I typed in "Chicago", hitting enter. It played normal again for awhile. And then, once again, it got weird. Weirder, than last time. "Hello Matt, how are you?" That was weird. I did not put my name in there. I reached for the power button, when "Please
I didn't listen, and turned it off. I noticed it was 1:00 AM. Had I played for 14 hours? I went to bed, worrying about Roy. I had heard an ambulance last night. The next morning, Mrs. Williams had called. She asked if
I grabbed the disc from my computer, and shattered it on the pavement. I turned on my computer, to play some Morrowind, when I noticed my background was now a picture of a cut up and bloody Roy. I was horrified. I did not rationalize it was probably a virus, and I shut off my computer. Except it didn't. I turned on Morrowind, and to my horror, it was also the game. It must've been a glitch, though how could it be? It said "Hello Matt. Why did you break me?" I furiously typed "Because,
I couldn't type anymore. No, literally, my keyboard wasn't working. My computer froze up, and crashed. I have a crappy computer, but a Text-based adventure? I doubt that would crash it. I wasn't curious at all. I opened the disc drive. The game was inside. Maybe
The next day, I read the paper. This has been the fifth seizure around here in the past month. Was I next? Not yet. Though maybe someone wants me dead, and
