Why...?

I need to write this down as I want to make my final words heared before I end this all.

About a month ago at night I was on youtube I was watching some videos untill I saw a gameplay video of Sonic 3 out of intrest I clicked on it despite never playing games in my life after watching the video I started to grow this urge to play it I called it off and decided to go to sleep however I dreamed about what I saw in the video and felt as if it was calling me. As I constantly felt as if the game was tying to lure me in I woke up and decided to go online to search how to download emulators as I would not spend a large ammount of money to get an old console just for 1 game. After some resurch I downloaded a rom and emulator and started up the game. I saw a title screen of a 3d "Sonic" and I started a save file and played around for a little bit, I could not belive on what I was missing out the game was just beutiful I loved destroying the robots and beating the bosses and oh the boss fight music. Anyway after playing through "Zone 1" I decided to go do other things and play the game tomorrow. That night when I slept I had a dream again of the game but this time it was as if I was inside the screen and I watched myself play while the glass on the screen seperated dream me from me who was playing the gae it was as if the screen was a window. It only got worse when I saw "Sonic" and "Tails" they looked real and not pixelated I saw them passing through the levles and as I followed them I heared them speaking this is what I could make out

Tails "Why are they constantly doing this to us?"

Sonic "They think its only a game we cant blame them they think that we all are just programs and animations the people to blame are the ones who put us into this hell they call themselves "Say-gha"

I recognised this place this was where I acidently made tails fall on a spike "dont fall on the spike, dont fall on the spike" I though to myself but he did and I heared this

Tails *wimpering* "I just want the pain to stop"

When he hit the spikes I saw that he noticed me when he jumped off them I felt myself waking up slowly and I only heared

Tails "Who-"

at that point I woke up and I felt a cold sweat run down my back

even though I was frighten by the experience I felt it again the lure of the game I kept trying to get it out of my head but eventually I gave up and went back to playing it thinking it was only a dream. As I played things got a little different but at the time I did not think about it, sonic looked at the screen in his idle animation and looked at me sadly however i did not see the normal idle animations yet so I thought it was the developer's way of saying to the player "stop making me wait" as I progressed I saw a few things in the corner of my eye for a fraction of a seacond I saw what I think said "get us out" and the text looked dripping blue , like tears ? And I started to notice that Sonic's walk looked more like he was trying to not be heared by something or someone. Later when I got to the "Marble garden act 2" bossfight the music played but there was no boss instead the floor fell and Tails grabbed Sonic's hand Tails tried to fly up but I noticed something.

Sonic was slipping froms Tail's hand I tried to do all I could to somehow make Sonic regain his grip I tried pressing all the buttons that worked on the emulator but it was hopeless I saw Sonic fall to the forest underneath then Tails looked straight at the screen and looked like he was going to have an emotional breakdown later when he flew to the next stage there was no Sonic tails crouched down on the floor and started to cry I looked at the screen not beliving what I saw I switched the emulator off and noticed the day had already changed to night. I went on my bed and tried to go to sleep and just forget what had happend eventually I did fall asleep. I was spinning, with some force pulling me forward it was like space only pitch black the only thing I could see is myself I recognised this place it was the dream I would get when I had just been through a very emotional moment I was here when my mother passed away a few years ago. Only something was off normally I did not feel the force pulling me I saw a 2 light opposite of each other in the distance and after drifting for some time I started to be violently pulled to the light on the left. I found I did not even have the strength to try to resist when I was pulled in I hit something it was a wall that I could see past. Past the wall I saw what had happend with Sonic falling into the forest this time I heared him say a few words that I could only make a few out due to a ringing in my ear that I just noticed out of the words I only made this out "...counting on you.." right then when I saw tails fly to the next zone I saw him sobbing again only this time he looked up right at me he walked in my direction and hit the wall he started to bang on the wall and saying more words I could not make out.

I said how I did not know that that would happen and that I was sorry. Then suddently the ringing stopped with a painful pop and I heared that Tails was was yelling "Run before they get you too!" at that moment I saw something behind me as the wall appeared to reflect some light. I saw a white strange mask behind me I looked back at Tails and tried to break the wall with my fist, no use the mask went up close to me and just as it was staring into my face I saw something on the forehead in blue text it read "Sega" the mask lunged at me and I woke up I dont know if this was a hallucination or not but I saw for asplit seacond the mask on the screen getting to Tails. I started to walk downstairs but I started to see images in the corner of my eyes I tried to make it stop but I also started to hear things about what I think was the mask taunting me with the screams of Tails and Sonic. I knew I had to end this I did not want to get locked up in a mental hospital just to have that thing mock me for the rest of my life. and now as I write this I have one question.

Why...?
