My name is Kyle, I’m 12 years old, and I am plagued by the supernatural. Not the good kind of Supernatural, the bad kind. But, excuse me, I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.
I love video games, especially Sonic the Hedgehog. Tails is my favorite character. That’s why my OC for Sonic is Tails, but colored red and black with fangs and wings. I’m so original! My friends on deviantart think I’m the coolest! Anyways, I was walking around my town the other day and this homeless old guy jumped out from the shadows and spooked me. He asked me if I wanted a disc of the original Sonic game. Of course I totally said yes! Who wouldn’t? So I was like “How much is it?” and he was like “Free for you sonny!” then he started cackling like crazy. “You need a blood sacrifice to get it, though!” I slapped my pockets. I was all out of chickens, so I just gave the guy a frog I found on the street. He said “That’ll do.”, handed me the disc, and retreated back into the shadows. Awesome! I had the original Sonic game, and all it cost me was a dumb frog!
The disc looked pristine, well, besides the blood pentagram burned into it, but I figured with help from a little Windex the thing would play good as new! I ran home, locked my bedroom door, and popped the disc into my computer. Who would have guessed this game would be so direly spooky…
The game started like normal with the normal music and normal Sonic popping out of a normal red ring on top of the normal title. I was so pumped! I quickly pressed the start button. For a split second, I saw the sea behind Sonic turn blood red, and the mountains turn into three sixes! Sonic’s eyes turned hyper-realistic and they were also gone from their sockets and dripping hyper-realistic blood all over the place as the music blared backwards. I figured it was just a minor glitch and pressed on.
The first level started in all black, and Sonic looked scared and was covered in blood. I made him run through the dark spooky ame until I saw an enemy. I ran into it, and Sonic made a loud screech and exploded. This wasn’t anything too unusual… until I realized my speakers had been off this whole time! Now, I was starting to think maybe some evil was afoot. Still, I don’t know why, but I kept playing. Text came up on the dark screen. “Hello friend…” said the game. Oh, alright! The game is friendly! “Welcome… to DIE!” said the text. Aww… the game lied. Suddenly, I was playing as Tails. But not just any old Tails. It was my deviantart OC!!! And the background turned hellish and red, with realistic looking people being tortured and burned in lava as the Lavender Town theme and the Song of Unhealing started playing at the same time. But… those songs were from Nintendo games… not Sega! I shuddered at the copyright infringement. My OC, which was named Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel, had a huge smile on its face. No, no, I would never be happy watching torture! Who was doing this? Another text box appeared. “Oh, don’t worry Kyle, I wouldn’t leave you in antici……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… PATION about who I am.” How did this game know what I was thinking? How did it know my name? I brushed it off as a coincidence and pressed on. Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel was still smiling as I made him walk down the blood red corridor. Suddenly, he came across a purple portal. Of course, I made him step into it. Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel slowly disappeared into particles as another test box appeared saying “I am SATAN!” At this point, I was getting frustrated. Why did that old homeless guy give me such a glitchy game? It really didn’t even look like a sonic game at all! I took out the CD and rubbed it on my jeans to get any dust off. Suddenly, the disc turned a deep black, and sparkled purple. Then, Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel burst out of the disc! It was 2spooky4me! I threw the disc across the room as Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel clammered out of it. I turned around, and a bloody Sonic with no eyes was crawling out of my computer screen! I thought I was done for! But then, suddenly, T-Pain burst through my window and punched Sonic right in the face! Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel screeched and latched onto T-Pain’s muscular bicep, but just then Shrek came in and launched an avalanche of onions at him! I was like, “Whoa!”. Sonic suddenly locked eyes with me and pounced, but then Jesus was there! And Jesus had these cool shades on. When he lifted them, lasers shot from his eyes and shot Sonic through the wall! Sonic said “AHHH” and died. Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel tried to run away, but all of the Avengers burst through the roof! And then Spiderman came too and tied Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel up in his web, and Captain America hit him with his shield, and Iron Man blasted him with his blasters, and Hawkeye shot 50 arrows into his head, and the Hulk ripped him in half, and Black Widow roundhouse kicked him in the face, which summoned Chuck Norris who kicked him too, and Thor smashed him with Mjölnir and then Ebony Nightmare Firefox Three-Tails Donut Steel died and it was so awesome! After he died, I said, “Hey, you guys are hella rad! Wanna get a milkshake?” They all said yeah so we all got milkshakes and became best friends and Spiderman got to join the Avengers. Then, I woke up. It was all just a dream!
