“Blake! Please get off that computer! You’ve been playing video games for hours. I’m going out with your father and we need you to look after your sister while you wait for Aunt Sarah.” Said Mrs Anderson. “Oh no mom, please don’t ask Aunt Sarah. Anyone but her!” exclaimed Blake. “Sorry, we already asked her and besides, it’s not like you can look after yourselves, you’re only eight years old.” “Well, can you at least ask Aunt Sarah if I can sleep later this time? I’m not a kid anymore.” “No Blake, your bedtime is your bedtime. You need to sleep because you’re still growing. And don’t let me catch you playing video games again!” “Aw mom! Please let me play my video games just a little while longer.” “No Blake, just do as I say. I will see you later on.”
They hear a car hooting outside their house. It’s the taxi cab Mrs Anderson called for her and her husband. Although she is worried Blake may disobey her, she rushes out of the house and tries her best not to worry too much.
Blake, however, had other plans. He loved his mother dearly and didn’t want to get in trouble or disappoint her but his hunger for playing video games was stronger. He saw that Aunt Sarah hadn’t arrived yet, so decided to have a quick look to see if his sister was okay. Little Mia was sleeping quietly in her bed so Blake decided to head back to his room to play more video games despite his mom’s warning.
Blake wasn’t exactly a people person, he really enjoyed his alone time while playing video games. He liked all types of games, but his all-time favorite was "The Sims". He loved this game for one reason only: He was in control and this made him feel powerful.
When he got to the comfort of his own room, he reached for his bright green and orange blanket, his monster pajamas and his light blue hot coco mug, which he got in the kitchen on his way from his sisters room. He grabbed his computer on his desk and cuddled up warm and comfy on his bed. He smiled as the game started loading and the signature background music of the game began to play. He continued to play for hours.
After what seems like years in a "Sims" life, the characters of "Sims" became annoyed with Blake for treating them so badly. They didn’t like the way he controlled and misused them. They hatched plan to get revenge.
Soon the computer began to overheat and started appearing larger than normal. Blake was confused by this but it wasn’t the computer getting larger, Blake was getting smaller. He began to shrink until he was just 1cm tall. He shrieked! “What’s happening to me!?” He shouted. Just then a glowing white hand reached out of the computer screen and pulled Blake inside the game.
“So, we finally meet the infamous Blake Anderson” Said one of the "Sims" characters, “How would you like being controlled by someone and being misused?” All his "Sims" characters approached him furiously, cracking their knuckles as they walked. “You have ruined our lives Blake Anderson and you better fix what you have done to us! Or you will never go back home to your family ever again!” yelled another "Sims" character. Blake was speechless and terrified. He stood frozen as they approached him wondering how he could ever make up for what he was done to disrupt these "Sims" lives. Will Blake ever see his family again? To be continued...
