This is my first creepypasta, please give me good advice and point out where I mess up, Much apreciated

It was about 5:30 when I was done with my homework and asked my mom if I could play video games. She said yes and I played to about ten o'clock. I decided to play Sonic 2 on an emulator I downloaded. I pluged in my controller and started playing. I got all but one chaos emerald when Tails AI was freaking out. I restarted the program and it was fine but Tails sprite was… a little off. I don’t know what it was but it still creeps me out to this day. It was about ten when things got weird, I used tails as a meat shield against one of the bosses and my game crashed on the final hit. The program shut down and the command prompt opened for a split second. I got a notification on my phone from a youtube channel I wasn’t subscribed to I decided to play it off like it was another glitch in the youtube algorithm. At about 2:30 I grabbed my phone, the video was killing me not literally but I was just so curious what is was. The video sounded like the dial up internet sound way back then. 

The next day, it was lunch, I was watching youtube with my buddies and I got a call from a private number. I thought it was a scam or someone was pranking me. My friends wanted me to answer it and say something that’ll make us chuckle. So I answered and started saying stupid stuff and we were keeping our laughs contained. I had it on speaker, then the dial up internet sound happened again. My friend said stay on the call and so I did. At the end it said this. “How could you over the years, torture me, put me in misery, I hope you're happy with your ways”. I was freaking out when I heard this.

When I got home I wanted to play Sonic The Hedgehog. I didn’t have an emulator on my computer so I asked my dad if I could play on his Genesis. He said yes and I went and played. Sonic didn’t looked cheerful he looked depressed. I went on and played and made it through the game. I got the good ending with the chaos emeralds when I got an ending cutscene. Sonic went up to a silhouette of what to resembles tails. The game crashed. Some text popped up. You did this, you monster is what it said. I was looking at myself disgusted.

“I can’t take this” the voice said. I heard someone get on a chair and heard rope being moved. Then I heard a thud and someone choking. I was disturbed and creeped out. Then the Genesis freaked out and turned off. I told my dad like a responsible child, and he flipped out swearing colorful words at me in anger. He sent me to my room and I started playing Sonic 2.

I questioned myself why I was doing this but continued to play. There was no Sonic option now, only Tails. The first level wasn’t Emerald Hill like normal. It was a more glitched, duller version. Tails looked depressed and at the brink of sanity. The level had no enemies. I beat it then the command prompt opened. The computer said I had a virus but I played it off. Besides if I told my dad that my computer was freaking out he would be pissed off at me. I booted up the program when Tails was just there standing he looked up at the camera tilted his head and made an very demonic grin. I started questioning why he was doing this. I heard laughing from every angle. I was holding my head crying and screaming stop it. The last thing I heard was the dial up internet sound and the words “this is what I feel everyday, going mad by the minute are you sorry for what you have done to me you monster.” My mom comes in very worried. She asked if I was ok. With no hesitation I said no, I'm going mad, please help me mom.

She was worried sick and brought me to the psychologist I was diagnosed with PTSD and he said I might go insane as this is not helping my current diagnosis of depression. After a few weeks I heard the same thing over and over, it was driving me insane. I got put in the loony bin but after ten years i'm out still on depression meds and PTSD treatment in my twenties. I’m just glad that that hell is over with and I can live my life like normal now!
