A young girl sat in her room playing a video game. She was perched on the end of her bed, knees crossed and eyes glued to the screen. Her fingers were moving frantically as her character jumped over obstacles, collected coins and found hidden paths. The level of focus she had was unbelievable, until she finished the level and activated a cut scene. She threw her arms up in victory, screaming with joy, "Woo! Finally!". She had been stuck on this single level for hours, it was the last one. And this was the last cut scene.
Her pure focus went back to the screen, watching her beloved characters interact with each other. A sudden ray of confusion hit her however. Her grandfather's favourite chair was the throne for the king, literally identical. Her eyebrows screwed themselves together as she tilted her head to the side. As the camera angle drifted to the left she saw more things that belonged to her family. "What?" She asks, getting up on two feet and inching her way closer to the console, "What's going on?". As she reached close enough, she saw her best friend and flinched back. She shook her head and began to rub her eyes, thinking she was dreaming. When her eyes reopened, all her friends were in the game, standing and staring towards her. So she rubbed them again and then pinched herself, but now her family were there as well. This was when she started to freak out. She shook were head erratically, repeating the same words over and over "No, no, no, no..". She couldn't believe it.
Then, with a single blink, her whole world changed before her.
Everything became pixellated, everything was made up by tiny visible squares. The trees in front of her were perfectly round and the ground was covered with perfectly luscious grass. The sky was a pale blue and the clouds stood still, hovering above her head as her eyes searched through the scenery. A small melody played in the background, cheerful notes sounded throughout the world. With everything around her and the soft melody played, she just laughed. She was confused, dazed, rattled. She didn't know what to do, she had no clue, so she just laughed and laughed.
