Just A Glitch:Ben Drowned

Chapter 5: Haunted

You sat down on your carpet, excited about using your Nintendo 64 with a new game. You were quite curious, The Legend of Zelda series was one of your favorites. You've played Ocarina of Time on the N64, but you already finished the game many times! Your parents never got the chance to get you Majora's Mask, but you finally got it. And for free!

Makes you wonder, "Why is Mr. Walsh giving away all his stuff?" But never mind that, it was none of your business.

You took out your old console from the closet, placing it neatly in front of the Television and plugging it in. Pushing the power button, you grabbed the cartridge and almost slammed it inside the game slot. The N64 logo appeared, making you squeal in excitement.

The game then started, a mask that slightly resembled a heart appeared on screen, after came the file selection screen;

Save 1: BEN Save 2: DROWNED

You remembered the name on the cartridge, these files belonged to Mr. Walsh, so you simply deleted them. The game wasn't his anymore, after all. You made a new save, beginning your game and starting to play.

Time Skip

You smiled, you had already obtained 3 masks from the game and you've only been playing for a few hours. Your laptop was at your side on the floor, you had searched up a video on YouTube about how to do the Fourth Day glitch... But you ended up coming across something else.

"day four.wmv, jadusable.wmv, DROWNED.wmv..." Wait, BEN.wmv? What's this?

You clicked on it. After watching it, you finally understood what "Curiosity killed the cat!" meant. But... Isn't Ben, Mr. Walsh? You were confused. You just continued playing, but when you turned your head to focus on the screen, everything was glitching! The stairs leading to the center of Clock Town were disappearing, and all the NPC's would only say;

"You shouldn't have done that..."

You remembered. Cleverbot had said something similar the last time you talked to it. You wanted to keep investigating, I guess you could say you were the cat...

You put the words BEN and Drowned together, making something that looked as similar as a name. You Googled it, Google was like your best friend! It would give you the answers to everything, but what you didn't expect was Google to actually find answers for what you just typed in. Creepypasta.wiki? You clicked on the first link and began reading what was in front of you.

Your eyes widened, "H-He can't p-possibly be r-real, right?!" You stuttered. This so called "Creepypasta", had just made you worried about the world around you. What if he was real?

You shook your head and began chuckling to yourself; "No, no, _____. Haha! BEN Drowned isn't real, silly!" You said to yourself. Still paranoid, you shut down your Nintendo, crawling in your bed and hiding under the covers. Your room suddenly felt cold, but you ignore it. "I'm getting lonely, _____."
