Have you ever been so intrigued in something that it literally almost kills you? Well  i  know what it`s like to be in your footsteps. You see,  i  like any form of older technology, especially floppy discs. One day, while I was strolling around my favorite hobby shop,  i  noticed a floppy disc called "FROSTBYTE". I asked Bert- the dude who ran the store- if  i  could test the software out. He seemed estranged but he reluctantly let me. He must have tried to warn me about it, but as usual I ignored him and left. I should have listened to him... He was right.  When I finally returned home, I started my computer and put the floppy in. Everything seemed normal at first, but after about ten minutes or so of searching, that’s when things went wrong. I started receiving random error messages that instead of saying "ERROR" they read "YOU ARE GETTING COLDER". I thought it was a joke for a while, and I went along with it jokingly. Again, I should have listened....  <span class="TextRun SCX178082512" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;color:rgb(255,255,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:19px;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;" lang="EN-US">After a while of these error messages, I decided to take the floppy back to Bert. When I arrived, he wasn’t there, only a note that read: "I WARNED YOU". I was so fucking scared that I dropped the floppy and rushed home. When I got there, things only got worse.... I turned on the t.v and I noticed ice on the side of it! What the fuck is going on, I wandered as I ran outside in the cold. I didn’t care that it was -2 degrees out, all I knew is I had to get out of this place before it got worse than it did. I went to my Dad`s house in California. Once I made it to his house, he was glad to see me. <span class="EOP SCX178082512" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;font-size:11pt;line-height:19px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;"> <p class="Paragraph SCX178082512" paraeid="{6acfb638-9d68-4834-b448-a5eaefed1e74}{149}" paraid="871122001" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;word-wrap:break-word;color:windowtext;font-size:6pt;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;"><span class="TextRun SCX178082512" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;color:rgb(255,255,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:19px;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;" lang="EN-US">I had talked to him the night before about how to find answers, but he pretty much evaded my question. <span class="TextRun SCX178082512" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;color:rgb(255,255,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:19px;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;" lang="EN-US">After <span class="TextRun SCX178082512" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;color:rgb(255,255,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:19px;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;" lang="EN-US"> a week or two, I brought it back up… that was bad <span class="TextRun SCX178082512" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;color:rgb(255,255,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:19px;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;" lang="EN-US"> because  <span class="TextRun SCX178082512" style="-webkit-user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;color:rgb(255,255,0);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:19px;-webkit-nbsp-mode:normal!important;" lang="EN-US">unbeknownst to me, the virus had followed me.
