GARRY

I've always been an avid Minecraft player. I would create huge temples, statues of players, pixel art, and even a remake of my own apartment   Minecraft was really a break from reality for me, I could just wander endlessley and build whatever I want! I would go onto the Minecraft Forums and Planet Minecraft to check out what's going on in the Minecraft community.

On Planet Minecraft I came across one guy who's username was Garry in all caps. I post a video of an airplane that I built to contribute for a server that I really enjoyed. He had made a comment saying "tap tap tap". I thought the comment was very odd and strange, so I replied saying "I don't get it." And then I got a reply from him saying "tick tock tick tock". I replied asking "What's that supposed  to mean?" And he replied back saying "You'll see...".

At first I thought this was just some 12 year old being a dick, so I clicked on his profile picture, expecting to be taken to his profile. The Page that followed was an error message saying "Member not found" In bold letters with the following text "Hmm, it seems that you've come across an invalid or missing member. Where did they go!?". From then I got a little creeped out, but I kept telling myself that it was just an idiot hacker and moved on.

For a while, everything was normal. But then I received  an e-mail from "327492675@ywdvs.com" with no text and a picture as shown in the top right corner. I became even more creeped out, not to mention that ywdvs.com isn't even a website. I deleted the e-mail and went into my living room to calm my nerves by watching some TV. From then I started locking my bedroom door and closing my blinds to give myself a sense of security. The next morning I woke up and went to my computer and checked my e-mail, expecting e-mails from co-workers. Instead there were several e-mails from the same e-mail address with the picture of the Minecraft skin with text saying "Don't discard this one. Okeedokee?!". I then blocked the e-mail address and said "Fuck this shit" and deleted the e-mails.

A few days later, I went on Skype to talk to my friends, Smighty and Emosewa (awesome backwards). We talked for a while about random shit such as news, games and other stuff. A user with the username "_" joined in. Here's the chat log:

[2/9/2013 1:59:43 PM]The Dondernaut: Who the fuck is this guy?

[2/9/2013 1:59:47 PM] Smighty!: I don't know

[2/9/2013 1:59:51 PM] Smighty!: Did you add him Emosewa?

[2/9/2013 1:59:57 PM] Emosewa: nope

[2/9/2013 2:00:02 PM] _: Hi guys!

[2/9/2013 2:00:06 PM] The Dondernaut: How did you get in here?

[2/9/2013 2:00:08 PM] _: ?

[2/9/2013 2:01:01 PM] Smighty!: I think this guy's a hacker

[2/9/2013 2:01:02 PM] The Dondernaut: Yeah.

[2/9/2013 2:01:04 PM] Emosewa: im gonna call the polic

[2/9/2013 2:01:07 PM] _: I just came here to be friends. Why is that a problem?

[2/9/2013 1:01:12 PM] The Dondernaut: Are you that guy who's sending me pictures of a Minecraft skin?

[2/9/2013 1:01:15 PM] Smighty!: What minecraft skin?

[2/9/2013 1:01:18 PM] The Dondernaut: A plain white Minecraft skin with a dark face

[2/9/2013 1:01:20 PM] _: I told you not to delete those emails.

[2/9/2013 1:01:23 PM] _: Tick Tock Tick Tock

[2/9/2013 1:01:25 PM] The Dondernaut: Stop it!

[2/9/2013 1:01:26 PM] Emosewa: tha fuck is going on

[2/9/2013 1:01:28 PM] Smighty!: Dondernaut, this isn't funny

[2/9/2013 1:01:29 PM] _: tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap

[2/9/2013 1:01:31 PM] The Dondernaut: STOP!

[2/9/2013 1:01:34 PM] The Dondernaut: STOP!

[2/9/2013 1:01:37 PM] The Dondernaut: STOP!

[2/9/2013 1:01:40 PM] The Dondernaut: STOP!

[2/9/2013 1:01:43 PM] The Dondernaut: STOP!

[2/9/2013 1:01:46 PM] Smighty!: I'm leaving

From then silence fell in the chat. Emosewa asked about what was happening in a PM. I replied saying "I don't know. I just don't know". The next day my Skype contacts and Emosewa was gone, he was removed from my contacts. When I tried to add him back, Skype couldn't find his username, he pretty much disappeared   I picked up my phone and minimized my screen and my background had been replaced with a picture of a dead man in a forest. After some research I found that this was Aokigahara Forest, often referred to as "The Japanese Suicide forest". After that I got a contact request from GARRY. I started getting pissed and added him to tell this asshole off. I tried to talk to him but whenever I would send him a PM he would respond with "...". I angerly sent him an extremely angry PM to him. Garry replied saying "If you won't be my friend than you will meet a cruel fate." I replied back saying "Yeah, that'll be the day, huh?".

The next day, I was browsing PlanetMinecraft.com, for a while the site was completely normal, but then every page I had opened 404'd. I thought that the site had broke but every website I tried to access just simply 404'd. Skype, however, was working. I went on and asked Smighty if he was experiencing the same thing. There was no response. I sent a few more PM's to him and he finally responded saying "tap tap tap". I then called Smighty on the phone and he answered the call, he didn't talk at all, all I heard from him was the sound of breathing. I then went back into my belief that Garry was a ghost, but at the same time I was also thinking he was a ghost. Garry had sent me PM's saying "Hah Hah Hah Hah" over and FUCKING over again! I went into my bathroom and smashed my fucking mirror. I couldn't take it anymore, I just COULDN'T FUCKING TAKE IT ANYMORE! I went back into my room, walked to my desk, violently scooted my chair back and sat in it. Garry sent me a link to a website post. I opened the link and found out who Garry is.

Garry Curtis had died in a car crash at the age of 13 years old, a few days later his father, Martin Curtis, committed suicide. I now realized who this kid was, a boy who never got to grow up and do things with his life. He never got married, never had kids, never owned a business. His life was just cut so short...

The next day I went to iHop and had some waffles with my girlfriend. I then went home later and got back on my computer, Garry kept sending me messages saying "TICK TOCK TICK TOCK" over and OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I couldn't get up, I just couldn't! No matter how much I put my mind to it, I just couldn't get up! The sound of the Skype messaging sound, the phrase "TICK TOCK TICK TOCK" were engraved in my mind  like someone took a screw driver and smashed it deep into a rock and slid it! I finally got up, FINALLY GOT UP! I went to my bathroom and SMASHED my mirror with my fist! The bits of glass stabbed into my hand and blood started running out of my hands like water out of a sink! I smeared my blood all over my walls thinking and saying nothing but "TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK" I REALIZE NOW! I REALIZE! TICK TOCK GOES THE CLOCK, COUNTING DOWN MY BREAKING POINT!

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK
