At home I put my backpack on the kitchen table where my younger brother, Jake, was sitting doing homework. "What's up midget?" I asked jokingly. "Doing my homework. What does it look like I'm doing?" He responded a little tensely. "Well someone's moody." I said back then yelled, "HEY MOM IM GOING TO BRUNO'S HOUSE BEFORE DINNER OK?" Jake looked up. "Why?" He asked. "None of your business midget." I said and went upstairs.
In my room my golden retriever, Homer, was laying across my bed probably shedding all over it. I sighed then went to my personal computer to my friends' and I's chat room.

My computer screen went black. "Dammit!" I said quietly to myself and looked to see if the plug fell out. It was in. And my computer was on. "What the heck?!" I exclaimed.

The two words on my screen, fuzzy green. Glitchy looking letters:
Don't go.
