 The Virus



 On a Saturday evening, I sat at my desk browsing through the web on my laptop.

 I was beginning to get tired considering I had been up all day. I went on my Facebook and Twitter to see anything new and then played a few games. Before I logged off my computer detected a virus. So, I went to my anti-virus software to see what it was. Oddly, the software said there were no threats. Puzzled, I went to bed and fell asleep. Suddenly, a loud noise woke me from my sleep and I checked my clock. It was 3:45 A.M., and I saw my laptop had a blue screen. I walked over to it half awake to shut it down and that’s when I heard a bloody screech from it. Now, I am fully awake with wide eyes and I saw my laptop changing screens rapidly. It was too fast so I couldn’t make out what they were.



 I reached for the power button to attempt a force shut down. However, I sat there holding it down with my finger tip turning white for minutes and nothing happened. Then, the screen paused on an image of my room. I saw the camera was on so I tried to close it down but, the mouse icon never showed. So, there I was staring at myself in the camera with no control and that’s when I heard the voice… rather a whisper that said only a single word “Michael…”



 At the time I was practically petrified and a face of a woman quickly appeared. I was still in camera mode yet there was no one in front of me or behind me.

 Then I realized she was in the actual computer. I jumped back and let out a little yelp. She had dark black hair and pale white skin. The worse part was her facial features. Her eyes were solid black as If you could stare at yourself in them. She gave me a grim smile with red stained teeth and a red flow down the side of her mouth.



 A new feeling rushed through my body, fear; I have never felt fear until now. I yelled as she reached for me and a bloody hand came from the screen. It came further until another and then her head appeared. She was real. You could touch her and you could feel the cold skin (I assume it would be cold). Eventually, her whole torso came out and that was it. She had nothing under her belly and I fell off my chair laying on my floor. I couldn’t move, I was paralyzed with fear. All I could do was feel her fingertips craw up my body. Soon enough we were kissing distance from each other and she whispered to me “Your anti-virus is out of date, you are prone to infection”
