Sonic's Test

So I didn’t start these dates until I realized the darkness I had brought upon myself. This was very recent though so most of everything is fresh.

Saturday 5/25/13- So upon reaching our graduation point a couple of friends had said that they created an online server for sonic two and that we should all play the retro game. I didn’t think that those sonic games were multiplayer. When I question my best friend Chris he said “it took a bit of modding, but we can all play...I’ll need to get your copy though so i can edit it for online play” chris was of course smarter than me so who was I to question him. The only reason he had done this in the first place was because we had all been searching for a good MMORPG that was free and wasn’t runescape. After finding nothing that interested us I guess he took matters into his own hand. As soon as I got home I searched craigslist to see if anyone was selling the game. Craigslist failed so after that I moved on to the next best thing. Amazon.com. Sure enough sonic two came up, but I wasn’t about to pay 42.99 for the damn thing. So I did what any sensible person would do. I clicked the buy used for 0.95. Even if i ended up getting a disk in a million pieces it was better bound to better than paying 42.99.

Wednesday 5/29/13- It took four days to get to me, and by then my friends were already getting bored of the game. I wasn’t mad i just felt like a missed a good time. Still Chris said he would play a couple of games with me.Later on that night I looked at the game and I was like...eh what the hell. I put it in my computer and installed the game. I was surprised anything was read off of it. The game was scratched all over, they were minor, but still there were a lot. The game loaded, and soon after I got to the screen where I choose whether I wanted one or two players. I chuckled a bit after realizing it was two player. This got only meagerly excited about the online server after all we were about to graduate. Then I saw options. I realized you could select to play with both sonic and tails or only one of them. I decided to play as sonic only. I exited the options, and I pressed the start button.

“Mother fucker...” I said as a sonic.exe laugh played.

Leave it to me to buy the fanboy copy whose goal is to troll everyone’s lives. Text appeared.

So you chose to play with me? You’ll regret it. There is still time to turn back do you want to continue?

A yes or no  popped up. I clicked yes without really giving it much thought.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Another laugh played then more text.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">This is now a test not a game. Will you gamble with the souls of others, or will you be selfless and save them all?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The game started. Nothing was different really. Aside from usual creepypasta bs. I was playing as Sonic.exe well at least that’s what the sprite looked like. enemies were there, and I had 999 rings. Nothing nightmarish or hellish. The only thing out of place was the sprite. I got halfway through the level when my dad came in and told me to go to bed. It was one am and though I may be 18 I still lived under their rules. Did I hate it yes, did I care no. I exited the game, and before it closed on my computer another sonic.exe laugh played. More text appeared.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Taking a break? You’ll regret it. I will introduce you to death tomorrow.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I yawned, and shut off my monitor like I always do. I think I was asleep before I hit the pillow.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Thursday 5/30/13 too busy to play the game.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Friday 5/31/13 It rained today, and I got into a car accident. See it was raining and i just wanted to get home cause it was the last day of school. But I wasn’t speeding or anything. I took the backroads, and I guess the braked went out on my car. This happened at about 1:30PM. If I hadn’t been wearing my seatbelt I would have gone through the windshield and died. I was bummed for a while. I decided to play sonic 2 some more. Maybe that silly sonic.exe could cheer me up. He better or he’ll regret it I thought. I had to start over on emerald hill zone cause I guess you can’t save mid level When I pressed start I heard that damn laugh again. Text appeared.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Did you enjoy meeting death?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Yes, or No

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I stared at the screen. I chose no, and I heard the laugh.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Time to finish your test.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The game started. Again nothing was to unordinary just the sonic.exe looking sprite I was controlling. I finished emerald Hill zone act 1. The screen cut black, and the laughed played over again.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You finished. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">the screen cut black

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Two will burn <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> the screen cut black.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Shortly after a picture of a head on collision appeared. Both cars were engulfed in flames. The driver was still inside the car. The image stayed for about ten seconds before it cut black.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I better see you tomorrow or you’ll regret it.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Shortly after I received a phone call. Chris was having a small shindig at his place. I called my friend caleb to see if he could give me a ride there. Luckily he said yes. I got there at about 11 pm, and left at 1:30 as caleb was taken me home, we both saw fog ahead being revealed by the neon lights. As we drove we both saw a light source. That light source was a fire that was caused by a head on collision from two cars. I grew sick as I saw one of the drivers dead in their vehicle. Emergency vehicles were all over attempting to put out the flames. What scared me the most is that the image I saw earlier while playing Sonic 2 wasn’t just a picture. It was how I would see it from my point of view. Almost as if someone had gone into the future, put a camera behind my eyes and snapped a shot.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">“I killed them,” I muttered right before I blacked out.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Saturday 6/1/13 I woke up in the morning in my bed. I looked over at my computer frightened. I didn’t want to play. Then I remembered a phrase i read.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Or you’ll regret it. It was about 10:40 am.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">i hesitantly opened the game and started act to of emerald hill zone.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The laugh played as the screen cut black.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Text appeared.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The more you play the more souls I collect.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">The screen went black and shortly after more text appeared

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">If you miss a day it will your soul next. <span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I had to play I was too scared of what would become of me. I felt selfish I felt powerless. I bawled as I played act two of emerald hill zone when i finished. His laugh played.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">No rules, no boundaries.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A picture of my cat Mello appeared on screen dead. He had gotten ran over. I shook my head and rushed outside quickly. I called him. I wanted to save him. He heard me and began his trot across the street. Then in an instant a speeding car ended him. I feel down weak. I slowly got up and walked over to his body. There was blood, and he was flattened.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I cried so hard. I buried him and walked back inside to my computer. I closed out the game. A laugh played

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Want revenge?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Yes or No?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">For some reason I didn’t blame the game I just blamed the dirver. As if this entity on my computer didn’t exist. I chose yes

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Play tomorrow.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Sunday 6/2/13 Yes I played I finished up as quickly as I could I don’t even remember what the text before the game said I just played. I didn’t realize that wouldn’t bring Mello back. I played and at the end the laugh and text

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ready for your wish?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Yes,or no?

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I chose yes and I saw the same car on my screen. It was flipped over. It was at the end of my street and right in front of the house that is perpendicular to the street. I waited, and at on pm it i saw the car drive and then the front right tire popped. The drive braked hard, which caused it to flip and skid to the end of the street. I heard a bang as it hit the car parked in that persons driveway. I walked over to examine what I had done. What my twisted mind forced me to do. I regretted walking over. The driver was dead. So were his 6, and 12 year old kids. I walked home and locked myself in my room. I looked at my hands evilly. What have I done.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">I walked to the monitor. To close the game. The laugh played once again. and text appeared.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">You are selfish, and upon your death you too will burn with all the others.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">No rules no boundaries

<span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">The game closed. It is 2:20 pm now. I am writing this crying. If you die because of me I am sorry. I can’t stop or I die. I can’t stop because apart of me enjoys this. I can’t stop because I am selfish. I pray that no associated with me dies I don’t want to lose my friends family or anyone. I have started cutting myself to get rid of all this. even with all the guilt I feel I know I will keep play because I am scared to face what i have caused many others to face now. Nothing I do helps. I am contemplating suicide, but I know he will get me If I end it now. I my computer is old and slow and any recording software i get online just comes out blurry or pixelated. When I have the money to afford better one I will buy one and show you all the truth. I will update everyone on what is going on and I will describe the images as best I can so that maybe if you’re next you can protect yourself. So whoever is reading this. If I caused you pain I am sorry.
