Come Play, I Dare You
I was scrolling through my phone as I often do. I finished with my emails and texts for today. I had a few more things to do and finished them up. Just as I was getting ready to shut it off, a random message popped up. I normally just delete them and mark them as junk.
_However, this one caught my attention and I couldn’t look away. _
_It said, “ __Come Play, I Dare You.” I _thought about clicking on it, and I accidentally did. A creepy voice and music played in the background. There was a black screen with very disturbing images. I can’t even really explain them with words. Then it started asking me to click through another door, as it kept getting more and more sinister . I was hesitant each time, feeling my body’s intuition screaming, “ NO!” But something kept me drawn to it, and I almost couldn’t stop myself.
As I went further into it, it seemed to kind of pull my body inside and bend my mind a bit. Each layer I lost more of my sense of control and safety. I knew I was heading towards something very dangerous and dark. The next thing I remember is being awakened in the hospital. I asked, “What happened?” They said, “We don’t know? We found you in your bedroom screaming your head off and unconscious a few seconds later. Your heart rate was 162!” ! Try and get some rest and we’ll check on you soon.
