An Twisted Mind: Short Stories

Level Two

Adam noisily typed on the computer. The light green code illuminated the pitch black closet sized room. He muttered frantically and type as fast as his hands could, The screen kept on feeding code, seemingly in an endless cycle. ' Dammit... were so close.. H-H-hey were losing connecting.. bring the transmitter closer. ' Ryan nearly jammed the Transmitter in Adams face as it keep the signal sturdy. ' Kevin what's the read out? ' Kevin glanced at Adam before fixating his eyes back on the decoder. ' Umm... we are getting there.. ' Adam rolled his eyes. ' yea like that helps. ' The pirated military decoder was working, running though all the possible passwords before it allows Adam access to another server, just to need another password. but they were getting close to the master server. that had to be quick though, all server passwords reset in an hour and they had already burnt about an hour and a half. 'There There There..... Serv three homies ' ' How many we got left bro? ' Questioned Kevin. ' We only got two more ' Ryan responded excitingly. ' Ooo.. thats like the closest we have ever gotten. ' 'Adam.. looks like the next password is gonna be 9....G...Q...5..4.6.G.5...QU. ' Adam muttered back the string. ' It worked it worked.. last one boys then we in the Ether. ' ' Kevin, time ' asked Ryan. ' Um.. oh shit we got nine minutes ' ' Fuck, can we even get it Adam? ' ' Uh yea... hold up lemme do my shit ' Adam typed string after string, anticipation growing as the end was near. ' Hey put the CodX in like hyper drive. we at the end of this bitch ' 'On it bro..... Ok... so yea there it is.. first pass is ah.. JEX...ARM..C1O2. Then you got RXKT..SDAZP..G... next is 1..A7EY...2MJ..XF... got it? ' The screen abruptly stooped. ' No No No! shit.. I think it just fucking froze.. ' exclaimed Adam. ' No fucking way.. ' Kevin replied shocked. ' ' what hold up retards its just loading.. ' laughed Ryan. 'Hmm... yup, its loading. ' Adam muttered surprised. The three friends crowded around the screen waiting. the green, hazy screen was replaced by an sharp dark purple and black screen. 'Oshitt.. they weren't kidding.. ' muttered Kevin. They made it to the land of the dead. when an person dies with an SecuroLiv microchip in their head, their consciousness is transferred to an server. An whistle blower came out an year ago and claimed the passed on people were being experimented on by the government, they wanted to see for their selfs, an bet that quickly turned into an obsession. They started their efforts about four months ago, when Adam struck an deal with I.C.E for some pirated hardware. Their dedication finally paided off. ' One of you guys brought the suit.. right? ' Adam said in an low tone. Ryan nodded and pointed to his tennis bag. Kevin unzipped the lime green bag and pulled out the modded Edon. The virtual reality head set was wired to the computer and will allow the user to travel to the Ether. ' who wants to wear it? ' Kevin asked nervously. ' Fuck it.. I will. ' Adam said with almost an stutter. Adam sat down and slowly put the device on his head. ' You when you are ready give a thumbs up, we'll connect it. Adam took an deep breath and shakily gave an thumbs up. ' Good luck broth- ' Ryan tried to finish. Adam looked around, he found himself in the dark. an misty haze. He squinted but to no avail. he put one foot in front of the other and didn't look back.
