Chapter 1
Horror Games Gitch

"Just a little closer..." My mind raced with what could be behind that door that a boss I was so close to defeating.
I had gotten to this certain boss about three times already and I never beat it.
And now I was on the last blow I had to make.
-Jump.
-Pull back on the sword.
-Jab the blade into the chest.
"Yes!" I said as I made the defeat.
For a boss he seemed pretty skinny and pretty strong for someone with no right hand. Oh well. The game had made him seem to the gamer that they were weak, smart. The door opened slowly awaiting my victory. I ran my avatar in the door and opened the chest. A dozen happy evil spirits flew out. Obviously happy that I was outsmarted and that they were now free to terrorize a town (I assumed).
"Dammit. All that for more trouble,"
"Scarlet! Dinner!" I heard my mom call me from the kitchen.
"Ugh. Well at least it's a longer game then I expected." I saved my game and took my headset off. I saw the computer screen glitch for a second but I blew it off since it never means anything. I walked into the kitchen and the smell of homemade spaghetti filled my nose.
"Mmh. Smells good mom!"
"Thanks sweetie. I have to go to my night shift after dinner. You'll be ok right?" She said as I took a seat with a clean fork next to a huge plate of spaghetti awaited me.
"When am I not?"
"I'm just a little worried since..never mind." I saw my mothers face drop a bit. My mother and father had had a fight about a month ago and my father chose to leave. I wasn't taking it that hard since I never really liked him in the first place.
"Mom it's ok. Anyway..he never really acknowledged me when you had to work anyway. It won't be any different if he was here."
I said as she took a seat next to me.
"Alright. Don't get into any trouble."
"I won't. I mean what kind of trouble? I have no friends except my online friends who also have no friends. What are we gonna do? Sneak out when we have no idea if we live anywhere near each other?"
"Ok ok. Haha. But it would be nice if you made some real friends instead of playing on that computer of yours all day."
My mom said before she put the fork covered in spaghetti in her mouth eating quickly.
"Well I like being an introvert so.."
"Alright. But high school isn't gonna be so nice."
"Well I have some friends.."
"Uh huh."
She said eating the last bite of her meal and placing her dishes in the sink.
"Well I'm off. Don't do drugs." She laughed and grabbed her car keys.
"Love you." My mother said right as she closed front door. I finished my plate and placed my dishes in the sink.
I got out an un-popped bag of popcorn and placed it in the microwave. I set the timer for two minutes, while I waited I got out some popcorn salt. The timer went off with a small 'beep beep.'
I opened the microwave and carefully took the bag out. I emptied some of the popcorn in the bowl, salted it, emptied some more, salted, and so on. I finished the processes and was left with an equally salted bowl of popcorn. I made my way back to my room with the popcorn exited to play music way to loud and play my game. I got to my desk and minimized the game window to play some dubstep and a bunch of bands like lFalling in Reverse" and "Panic! At The Disco." I honestly didn't understand society, actually likening the junk music they actually put on the radio. What happened to music that actually had meaning like what the hell.
I sat down in my chair and put it game back up when I started playing "Fuck the Rest." By Falling in Reverse. I resumed my game and as soon as I tried moving my avatar it starting glitching abnormally. I heard a single voice that sounded of a plea. My avatar on the screen changed appearances for a second and I didn't get a good look. I saw blue hair, tattered clothes. I couldn't tell right then, but it looked as if she were crying.
