Expunged

You were a bit of a daring person, and had a group of foolish friends who did dumb, silly stuff.. and always convinced you into doing it, despite how much it may hurt or ruin your day. Currently, you were looking at the schools newspaper and saw that there was a dangerous .exe file on their school computers which people have been clicking on and activating, where it is so extreme it will cause the computer to break and the screen to shatter completely. No one was sure what the virus was, or what kept reeling in people to keep on doing it, but, one thing’s for sure, despite not sounding like it’s the MOST dangerous thing.. you still shouldn’t do it, of course. But, well, you? You, of course, decided to test it out during break into one or the abandoned classrooms, just for more creepiness and also so you wouldn’t be spotted.. maybe. Who knows, you gotta be kinda stealthy about this to risk not getting in any type of deep trouble and getting detention again. It’s never fun, never is..

When break came (1:00pm), you got your computer and went into the abandoned classroom.. It was dark, and only one light worked, and only four desk were still up while the rest were knocked over or just broken. It smelt like dust and mold, but I suppose it could be worse. Ehh.. You went to the desk nearest to the door, just for safety.. since you were becoming a bit weary about this. You turned your computer on and it made a sound, a weird, crackling sound. Then, you saw all your apps on your computer were.. gone..? And the only one, which seemed to be new, was one with a bunch of glitchy texts on it.. had to be the virus. So, you clicked on it and it made your entire screen black, and a little weird character appeared in the middle. They had a big, large smile on their face as their eyes looked completely soulless, and nothing happened, not weird things or anything, you just stared at the little guy.. before they disappeared. Damn, this virus sucks! Why would anyone be scared of this!?

You were about to close your computer before a large crack appeared right in the middle, and a hand slowly began to come out of it. It looked pixelated, and it didn’t seem to be real until it actually began to-to come out!? The hand finally exited the computer and found its way to grip onto the edge of the desk, another hand exiting as it gripped the other side of the desk. Slowly, a large hat came out and then a being with that same gigantic, happy smile on their face appeared and bursted themselves out of the computer, standing up as their height almost made their head hit the ceiling!!! They had sharp nails, and sharp teeth, and just looked utterly horrifying in general.. it was not fun in the slightest anymore, well, unless you do somehow find it cool. They knelt down to look in your eyes, raising a brow as they seemed confused by your presence, when, it actuality, YOU should be confused by theirs even more!!!

“... One must ask, how did I get here?”

They’d question, their height still huge and their voice was very raspy and echo-y. Their eyes scanned over your form as they assessed you
