where fate tried to murder their face but they miraculously made it out unharmed. Well, I clicked on a link that claimed to be a video of people making narrow escapes, but found myself having to make a near escape of my own.
As soon as I clicked the link, the light on my table went dark. My first thought was that the power went out, but the desktop computer was still on. However, it cast no light on anything in my room, and the clock on my dresser no longer told the time in bold red numbers. So , you can understand how I might be confused. To add to that, when I looked back at the computer screen, I saw myself in the video staring at the computer.
I leaned close to the monitor just to be sure, and a popup window appeared. It read, "Don't stand up. Do you understand?"
Sure, whatever. I clicked to agree.
Another one said, "You're the 1,382,321,873,232 visitor! Please click OK within the time limit to claim your $30,000,000 prize!"
"What?" I said aloud, and moved to click the OK button as the timer slowly dropped. The problem? The window moved away from the pointer every time I got close to the clicking it.
"This is stupid." I said.
A popup window appeared, "This is not stupid. This is your life. If you do not click OK to claim your reward, you will be killed."
"The fuck?" I said, and situated myself to sit straight up. I pressed the OK button to remove the new popup, and began to chase the other one around the screen.
At about 15 seconds, I started to feel the urgency even though I didn't know exactly how I would be killed . At 12.5 seconds, a giant pipe burst in my wall, and the room began to flood with gallons water. I tried to stand to run out of the room, but I couldn't get up.
So , I did what anyone else would do in that situation. I let out a high pitch scream hoping someone would hear my cries for help. As my banshee call began to kill my throat, I realized I was losing valuable time. At nine seconds, I stopped screaming and continued to chase the OK button.
By five seconds, the water reached my chin, but somehow the computer continued to work. I chased and chased, and suddenly realized I had to fake it out. I quickly began to pass the mouse from each corner of the screen in fast successions so that the window stayed in the center of the screen. I eased closer to it, and eventually found my mouse over it. I began to click absurdly hard and fast, mashing the button. When the water covered my mouth and nose, the window disappeared.
I thought for sure that was it. I had a fear of drowning, and now I was to die a most feared death. As I held onto my breath, making every second count, the water finally receded from the room. I don't know where it went, but it was gone. The burst pipe? Well, that had gone, too. When the light on my desk flickered back to life, nothing was wet, including my clothes. On the computer screen was a video of people having near death experiences.
"Sleep deprivation? No. Too much Redbull ? I know. Someone must've spiked my pizza. That's it. Shrooms instead of mushrooms." I thought, but then I got a wild hair to check my account balance.
I logged on to the website managed by my bank, and viewed my account balance. As I expected, it read a zero balance. No shocker there. No, the real shock was that I had 30,000,000 dollars pending from an unknown bank account. Consequences be damned, I thought. Maybe I should take more chances knowing that the higher the risk the better reward. That was, of course, just five minutes before I tried to do a nude handstand for a YouTube video, but instead I slipped and cracked my skull wide open. Death wasn’t sweet and I was a little bitter that I didn’t get to enjoy the money I won, but at least I didn’t drown to death. As a bonus, no one heard my girly scream earlier, so I guess I died with some kind of dignity. A thought I immediately retracted when I looked at my nude body crumpled on the floor with my ass somehow pointed directly at the camera.
