Mistakes

Frank walked back to the Indigos headquarters in shame. Out of all the years people took to make this world, they threw it away, in exchange for a world where there’s no such thing as depression, no such thing as a imperfectness, no such thing as…

Pain.

Pain. Something that has no cure, not like injury pain, but emotional pain, C2 (the cyberspace people live in) has ever had any. The kind of pain you feel if a close relative died, or if your dreams are crushed by one little idiot mistake you made in your life.

By that thought Frank thought of Jonas, his brother who was trapped in C2, and Frank was too in C2 for a period of his life. Jonas was dead, not virtual reality dead like most deaths where one thought they were dead, but they weren’t, it’s seems like everyone’s dead in a way, but I’m not going to get off topic. This took place when Frank was in C2 and didn’t break out of it much longer after the situation happened. It all started when Jonas invited his younger brother, Frank to dinner one night in June and when he got there they talked about how good the tea and wine and cheese and crackers were so delicious, than they talked there mother who did a ‘virtual’ pass-away three years ago in the middle of the conversation Jonas these two black vacuum-shaped things near his head, but no one noticed, for it was so fast it wasn’t noticeable until it hit Jonas’ left and right ear. Suddenly, Jonas looked like he was suffering from a seizure but he wasn’t. He was being electrocuted. Frank, noticing the vacuum-things quickly jumped out of his chair and began ripping the vacuum things off of him. But they wouldn’t let go, they were planted firmly on him. After thirty minutes of sheer terror, Jonas died. The vacuum things, noticing that its duty was accomplished left he couldn’t quite explain how it left, it just disappeared.

Frank just mourned over his brother’s body than he realized he could not end up like his brother, which he doesn’t, he learned when he came of age, that this wasn’t real, only virtual reality. It’s like after that thought of escaping it, for some strange reason, he saw a light, the sunlight as people called it, yes, he saw it during the Week, which if you stayed in it to long it would give you a red rash, wait, he escaped! He escaped! C2 for some strange reason let him go, it’s like it didn’t want him anymore.

Frank remembered this as a mistake. But some good came out of it, he found the Indigos a day later, which found him new clothes, he was wearing, bland, saggy and ugly looking suit-thing, at a store they call OLD NAVY and L.L. BEAN, which he never heard of before, and they told them that they new that C2 had a mind of its own, and it wasn’t going to do it for good, like most people assumed. C2 was going to destroy it’s user with electricity.

It was going to kill them.
