I was locked from the outside. I was panicking. I knocked on the door. I knew it was Ms. Jackson, I asked her to open the door. She wouldn't listen. I said that I was just interested in what was actually going on and that it was my right to know where I am, and what for. A big thud. The doors all opened at once except the door I wanted her to open. Everyone one of those doors contained cabinets, cabinets that had files filled in. She said only the recent files are kept in  the dark room. She said that this was just a game. I asked her, "WHAT," "WHO ARE YOU LADY, I was hungry when I could have spent my time in videogames and snacks... I got freaked out when you said it was about saving the freaking world." "ALL THAT for a GAME!!!" She said It's best if I calm down. Because, I needed energy to win the freaking game. "Energy, Energy????" I shouted. I continued, "I miss my family and my friends all for a game?" "Okay explained further." I asked her. She said my real body is in coma and that I am communicating through dreams with real events, and she said the time in the game is tripple the time in real life. She said I was stuck in this game for months. She also said that while I was walking to home after helping May at Ben's Pizza I was caught in a accident and went straight to coma. The hand that touched me was Ms. Jackson, a stranger who was the victim of the accident. She called 911 and took me to the hospital. I was actually playing a game in my mind all this time. I had to wake up. I had to get up. My eyes, Its glued. I can't open. I try so hard. I saw a light. I must have woke up. Voices. Voices. Voices. "Your okay, son." "Yay, your back" " Welcome back" Laughter everywhere. I finally squirted my eye, the light was too much for my eyes. I managed on. I was now riding back home. Dad was driving... Jesse in the back seat, loud like always. Ryan holding my shoulder tight. Who was in the front? Ms.  Jackson. We drive home, the dream I had about a dark room and the map all a dream. At least now I have something to talk about when I see Jane. But, with only one arm. A dramatic story, a story which changed my life. If I had a Last wish, a wish when I can ask anything and get an answer... of all the people in the world...Why me?
