''This is extremely short and I'd like some feedback on it. I still need to give it a name (suggestions would be helpful)''

When I’m in front of any piece of technology I zone out. Whether it’s a TV, phone, laptop, or tablet, as soon as I turn it on the world fades away and it’s just me and whatever is on the screen.

It always pisses off my mom, especially when she’s trying to talk to me. She can sit there at the foot of the stairs, yelling for me to come down, for hours. She’s already given up on trying to call me down for dinner. Nowadays I just go down when I get hungry enough.

But tonight I think I’m skipping dinner altogether. I had just been told about a brand new game that had come out and all my other buddies were already deep into it. One of them was already up to level 19, and the game was only released a day ago.

So I opened it up and started playing with a deep intensity. I hate it when people are ahead of me in video games, or anything for that matter. They start bragging about all the cool items they unlocked, and all the insane monsters they killed and it gets so annoying.

I think it was maybe four hours later when I finally reached level 19. I’m pretty good at this game, better than I thought. Maybe I could grab some dinner after all.

As soon as I took off my headset I heard my mother’s sweet voice. “Ethan, come down for dinner already, you’re food is getting cold!”

“Coming!” I respond, standing up.

“Don’t go down there!”

I pause. The word’s were a whisper, but they sounded close by.

“Son, please don’t go down there, I heard it too.” My mother whispered, poking her head out from her room across the hall. Her eyes were filled with fear.

''I'm not sure if I should delete everything after "I heard it too." or not. ''
