I know none of you will take this seriously, i doubt it so much, but some things must be said, I have to, no, MUST say it. before i start i want you to do two things, the first. Shut off the lights, the only light coming from the computer screen, Two. Use your imaginations, try to see what i see though this recounting tale.

For this you can call me Tom, it's not my real name, but it doesn't matter, my name isn't important, it's what happened to me that is.

It was a Friday, like any teen i would go off on a little journey, so i took my bike down to the local game shop down the street and look at what they had. Being that it was midweek, I had no cash, I just enjoyed looking through their selection. I was looking through their computer games when one of the employees came up to the collection and placed a few games in there, one of them was a burned copy of a Pokemon game, it was in a old DVD case, looked like it could fall apart any second. I asked the man how much it would be, as their collections of PC games don't sell too well, he turned to me “This thing? its worthless, here take it” He said, tossing me the case.
I caught it, looking at it happily that I was getting it for free. I asked him why someone sold this to the place, or even decided to get rid of it. He looked back at me, though for a second back to when the person sold it “They dropped it off in a rush, clearly scared about something” Then turned back to putting stuff away. Well that's odd I thought, Who would give this to a game shop, it's worthless, but at least i got a free game. I hurriedly biked home as i was at a stoplight and waiting, i looked more closely at the cover, there were red markings on it, looked like it might be blood

it looked to be gibberish, a bunch of random words and marking somewhere completely illiterate made, others made just no sense. but what was stranger still, is the words looked different from different angles, the words, pictures, all the symbols, they change in look when you tilt it different ways.

I shrugged it off, as i thought the light from the stoplight was playing tricks on me, the light turned green and i took off. I just had to ride down the street, nothing occurred, though i kept hearing a buzzing, it sounded like it was coming from the disk, unnerved me a bit, but it takes a lot to scare me, so i didn't think much of it at all. I arrived home, it was only 8pm but night already had fallen. I parked my bike in the garage, then hastily ran to the house.I threw the case onto my counter, then quickly fell asleep, as i was exhausted

I awoke in a sweat, nightmares flooded my dreams, what was odd is i wasn't thinking of any scary thing, but the dreams...oh the dreams, they would have driven someone to insanity. It was all my friends, family, loved ones, they were all there, Then there was this creature, This thing was about 6 feet tall, 5 feet wide, it had at least 10 arm/leg/tentacles each with three 5 inch claws, the thing had me trapped in a glass box, i couldn't do anything but watch as it one by one sliced each of them open, tearing out the organs and body parts, after it was done, there was only bloody messes left, and i screamed, screamed until i forced myself to wake up.

I Sat up after that hastily, drenched in sweat, even more than I thought was possible. I quickly got to the shower, as washed off, spending most of the time wondering why i would have such a horrid dream, something....something...something so nightmarish that it would drive someone with a soft heart into insanity.

I wasn't able to keep myself calm all day, during school I continuously fidgeted and i couldn't focus, i was called into the office and they constantly asked me what the issue was today, I just....just..I just couldn't tell them what happened, they would think i was mental, then ship me away, so i kept myself silent, not telling them the truth, I just said i was having one of those days. They bought it and let me go, class was just letting out so I started walking home. Paranoia is high now, I look over my shoulder every minute or so, thinking that creature is there, every time I turn a corner, I expect to see tortured family members, it is going to tear me apart. How can a stupid dream affect me this much!? It was a stupid dream, no possibility that it would happen...oh god how i wish I could believe that.

I returned home, the usual, do homework then go to my room and play video games. I remembered that i got that game, so I went to the game locker, grabbed the old, torn up, red mark stained DVD case with the game inside, took out the disk, and put it in my computer.
It did its normal start up screen, ran verification, and allowed me to play it though saying it contained a few unknown scripts, I just assumed they were some things the other person added to the game and shrugged them off.

The game was a copy of Pokemon Emerald version, I was excited about this because I hadn't played that version before, it started off normally, I picked one of the three Pokemon, beat all the bosses without going into the legendary Pokemon, with i thought was weird, the entire game was simple, only a few odd things, like the red eyes on the old sprites and how they would always say negative things, never nice, always menacing and making me feel bad.

but after that, I beat the game, Elite Four done, data recorded, and you were able to take the ferry. it didn't take you to the battle frontier it was a island, though you couldn't see too far, there was fog, it was like cave, though when i tried to use flash it didn't do anything whatsoever, it made it seem even darker. what's weirder is there is what appears to be blood on some of the stones, wall, and floors, by now I was starting to get a little unnerved but, i thought that this was part of the game, so i paused to go though the game guide and see when this happened...I swear I looked through it 6 times, this part was no where, i was starting to sweat a bit, considering maby I found a Easter egg or maybe a hidden script in the game. I continued on, the happy music stopped, playing a odd sounding, scary toned song, the deeper into the island I went the music would slow down more, getting slower and slower after I got into a dark forest type area, static started, it got louder and louder the deeper i went into the woods. then the voices started, now by this time the sound was beyond the capacity of the small game it was made on, the voices sounded high definition, them all beckoning for my sprite to come closer.
I was on the edge of my seat, getting quite scared, everything seemed more realistic, everything got higher definition in the darkness, anything I saw after landing on the island, the blood on the walls and floor, the floor, it looked so real, my sprite was even becoming more and more easier to make out all the little details, I was increasingly getting more and more paranoid, that's when the screen flashed, and i went into battle mode, now I spent a while leveling up my team so I have 6 level 90 Pokemon, and they haven't been beat at all yet

That is when I saw my opponent, I swear I Shit a brick.
It was that thing....from my dream...the creature...oh god, well i thought it was part of the game, so i attempted to fight it, i was such a fucking idiot. My attack did 1 damage, then it used one move, a move that once I saw the name, I already knew what would happen.....’torture’

4 of the 10 limbs lashed out, grabbing my main Pokemon, then tearing him apart, I was appalled.
The blood looked so real, it tore it apart, limb by limb, it tore it apart, all the guts and blood looked super real, i nearly hurled, it was just disgusting, how could someone do something like that?! the sicko that made that, but it wasn't even the start, it just got worse and worse. as he quickly took out all my team, it turned to me, my sprite became the final battle, it's only moves where ‘punch’ and ‘kick’ i picked kick and he attempted to kick the beast, it quickly grabbed my sprite, and tore him apart, blood and guts splattered everywhere, the sight was appealing, this time i did throw up, all over my lap, i was going to clean it up....when the absolute unthinkable happened
I stared in horror, it stared at the screen almost as if peering at me, then it starting walking at the screen, it getting more and more realistic with each step, it was covering most of the screen, then the screen started acting weird.......and god...oh fucking god....the thing...it-it...it came out of the screen, the tentacle..it reached out...I rapidly attempted to shut down my computer, it didn't work, it kept coming out slowly, part by part, i ran out of my room, blockading my door with a lot of random stuff, after awhile i heard it ringing, loud muffled thumping behind the door as it attempts to break though. I was in full panic, I ran into the basement, grabbed the shotgun my dad hid behind the sofa, and brought it upstairs, it already broke my door, a hole where the handle used to be , I stuck the barrel of the gun into the whole and fired, i saw it impact, it hit is square in the head, it fell back, a ear splitting yell shook the house.

I peered into the room, it was getting back up, the wound repairing, it was anger, madder, scarier, it now not just wanted to kill me, it wanted to drag me down to hell with it. i turned, ran, just ran...I ran down the road to a farm, in that farm was a bunker, I am hiding in it at the moment, i am writing this as it happens...i don't know whether I will live or die, I hear it outside, pacing, planing on how to kill me, now i may be dead by the time you read this, but remember this one thing.....never...ever...play video games that aren't supposed to be like that, survey the warning, or you will end up like me, oh god, it found a back entrance.....it's comein-
