It all started when I was eleven. The year was 1990. At that point in my life, I was obsessed with horror and gaming, they were basically my life. I spent most of my time sitting in my room playing the games I had. Within school, I was always alone because everyone saw me as a freak because I was the only person who was always wearing black clothing and a horror-themed bag. I would always arrive back home with new scrapes and bruises... But no one ever noticed... (or cared)

I only had one real friend and they were the only person I knew that was anything like me. But since they went to a different school we could only play games after class. My favorite game back then was The legend of Zelda and to this day I still think it's the best, although that one day, the game changed.. in fact... everything changed...

THAT day... started out just like any other. I was in my room, alone (as usual) playing The Legend of Zelda on my Gameboy...

Suddenly, my game started to glitch out. Within my game, I could see that a new character had appeared during the glitch. He looked like "Link" who is the main character that I play in the game. Had the game glitch just duplicated my character? Was it just a fault? I thought it was just part of the game until the character turned to look right at me. I froze, staring at the screen. This can't be real, this is 1990, this, in my hand is a gameboy.. yet this character was walking towards the screen from the inside, not as a low res game graphic but something real.. An actual lifelike being, white skin, black eyes with a red pupil, and blood pouring from them. Real blood, from real eyes! At this point I was shivering, it was hard to move my body but I built up the courage to throw the Gameboy across my room. I left the Gameboy on the other side of the room for half an hour. I sat there, unable to move. The game boy sat there, on the carpet, screen facing down. No lights, no sound.

Seriously?

I watch way too much horror. I've started scaring myself. I collected myself, smiled and thought what an idiot.

As I was walking over to the Gameboy it flipped over all on its own, a few seconds later the character I saw thirty-two minutes ago started to emerge out of the screen. I tried back away but he moved too quickly and in a second he was behind me, I was frozen in place as I could feel his cold arms wrap around me as he whispered...

"Wow... you're fragile you wouldn't want to get hurt now would you?"
