You lost the game...

“No! No! Don’t kill me!” A voice said. The room was dark and nothing could be seen; only the sound of a female voice shouting to be spared.

“Now why should I do that?” Another voice spoke. It sounded very childish but it had a darkening demented tone to match. “You lost the game. Now it is time to suffer the price.”

Then a light is turned on. There is a teenage girl just curled up on the ground with her head tucked into her arms. “Don’t kill me! I want to live! Just give me another chance!” the girl continues to plead to the unknown voice.

“But where is the fun in that.” The voice giggled. “And speaking of fun…” the girl starts to levitate off the ground and into the air. Her body was held in a star position.

Now the girl looked like she was in her late teen years. She looked like she belonged in college. The girl had nice lovely arms that showed she did softball for a long time.

“This little piggy went to the market.” The voice ripped off the girl’s right arm.

The girl fills the quite room with her screams of pain. Her arm was just dropped onto the ground as blood starts to drip down from her stub.

She has athletic legs from all the running she would do during her practices.

“This little piggy stayed home.” The voice tears off the girl’s right leg.

The girl continues to wail in pain as her tears are running down her face. More blood starts to drip down her stump onto the floor where her limbs are.

“Make the pain stop!” She pleads. “Make it stop.”

The voice ignores her pains. “This little piggy had roast beef.” It ripped apart her other leg clean from its sockets and causing a sickening wail to escape the girl’s lips. “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!?”

The voice giggled like a child. “The better question is, why not?” The voice dropped the leg with the others. A pool of blood was formed underneath the girl. As she just screams.

“This little piggy had none.” The voice tears off the last arm. On that arm had a small ring on the finger next to the pinky finger.

“I JUST WANT THIS TO STOP!” The girl screams. All that is left of the girl is her head and her torso. The rest of her body parts are floating in the pool of her blood.

“Don’t worry, it will all end. Soon enough.” The girl’s head starts to twist. “And this little piggy went wee, wee, wee,” the girl’s head twisted all the way around making a sickening crack. The wailing stops. The room is dead silent except for the gleeful giggles of the voice. “All the way home! Now that was fun but now I am bored again.” The voice drops the body of the girl into the rest of the limbs. A splashed sound echoed the room.

“Now I need to find someone else. Numbers 1-6, I need you here.” The voice ordered.

The sound of hooves hitting liquid fills the room as six pony silhouettes came into the light source.

“Awe…you killed her off too quickly. I never get to play with them.” the first voice complained. “At least I can use what’s left of her for some tasty new treats.”

“Think about this number 1. That human manage to survive 20% longer than the last one. An improvement I must say.” The second pony responds smartly. Now if I can get my hooves on one I can experiment properly since the other…died shortly after meeting with me. “

“Ug…you and your experiments number 2…no wonder they put you in that hospital.” The third shadowed told number two. This voice had a southern accent whenever she spoke. “Now that human was pretty weak iffin’ y’all ask me. Next time bring someone worth my time.

“Well number five, I just want to get a hold of a human so I can get more materials to make new clothes. These humans have a nice coat I can use.” The fourth voice had a more refined tone whenever she spoke.

“Umm…number four…I don’t think that you should do that to the poor creature. I mean you did that to one of my favorite pets after it attacked you.” The fifth voice had a more motherly tone whenever she spoke as if trying to console a child. “The creature just needs a mother’s love to play with it. Then I can have it join the rest of my animals. Hopefully my pets won’t tear them apart like they did with the last ones.”

“Well I don’t think your ‘pets’ like these so called humans number six and number five, they are pretty slow if you ask me. Just like a certain somepony I know.” The last voice had a cocky attitude when she spoke.

“Are y’all sayin’ I am slower than you.” Number five angerly replied.

“Maybe I am, and maybe I’m not.”

“Care to make a wager about it.”

“Well we all know who is going to win.”

“Why you…”

“Stop this useless bickering at once.” The voice boomed. The six silhouettes stopped what they were doing and stood at attention. “Now I want you to get ready for the next challenger. Hopefully this one will last longer than the others.”

“Yes sir!” they responded in unison. The six were started to leave.

“Number one.” The first creature that spoke stopped walking. “I want you to pick the creature this time…I know you have great taste in these things and I value your expertise.” The voice told number one.

Number one smiled like a mad man would when he is getting ready to commit his first murder. “You can count on me to help! This is going to be super-duper, absolutely positively fun!” Number one starts to bounce on her merrily way.

Well well well...I warned you...Do you think I'm crazy? Well...the fun is about to start. Welcome to imscared

Chapter 1: Do you want to play a game?

“Thanks for the ride home” you wave to your friends goodbye. They honk their horn in agreement and drive off. You were with your friends to see the newest scary movie out there but it turns out to be a dud. You knew who the killer was and who was going to die from the start. However, the bloodbath was perfect for your taste.

You walk inside your parent’s and head towards the kitchen to grab a quick snack. You see a note on the fridge in your mother’s handwriting. It states

Gone out to eat…Will be back by 10:00 P.M. Love mom

You look at the time on the oven and it said 9:13. You parents should be home pretty soon but that won’t stop you from doing what you love. You grab a soda from the fridge and some chips in the pantry. You make your way to your room and lock the door so that no one can disturb you from your session of horror games.

You sign on to your computer. While waiting for it to sign you on, you look at the newspaper in case there are any job openings for you. You scan it over and see an article to catch your eyes.

“A college student by the name of Carly has gone missing. This college softball all-star was last seen doing her morning jog around 6 in the morning on a Monday. Carly is around 21 years old with black hair. She is around five feet six inches tall. She is wearing a black tang top with grey sweatpants. If found please contact her fiancé at…”

“Damn, she went missing just four days ago.” You talk to yourself, “I hope the police can stop this soon.” Then, your computer logs you on but it pops up with this current message.

We have a new horror game we would like to play called Imscared. We would like to send you a beta key for you to test the game and see if there are any bugs. Do you think you can handle the amount of horror in the game or be a chicken?

A new horror game? You never heard anything about a new horror game as you are up to date with the latest in anything horror related. On the pop it gives you two choices, one to download the game and play it…or to be a chicken and wimp out.

“Well what do I do? I can download it and be the first to brag about it...but it can have viruses and just cause my computer problems. Maybe it is porn? I am sure there are people who know my need for horror and will try to send me porn…not that porn is a bad thing, but I rather not have it on my computer. But, the game sounds scary. Ugg this would be so much easier if someone would to make this choice for me! Should I PLAY the game…or NOT.

If you are reading this than you obviously haven’t made a choice…so stop reading and choose…

Play the game

Or not play the game.

Author's Note

This is when you pick the choice...based off of goosebumps idea to choose how to read...It is similar but it will be linear...so these choices isn't going to effect the outcome but it will get you to think and interact with the story. Also does the end remind you of anything...if it does post it in the comments section below.

Chapter 1a: play the game

You chose to play the game.

“After all, it is just a harmless game on the computer.” You reasoned. “I mean the worse it can do is give me a virus…” You click the play button.

“Thank you for showing courage to play the game imscared. Please wait for a couple of minutes so the game can set up”

“Well now I have to wait…Damn it…I forgot the possibility of a hacker trying to gain access to my computer.” You facepalm. “Well it is too late for that.”

You sit in your chair impatiently to wait for the game to set up. You decide to pass the time by just staring at your computer screen doing nothing because…let’s face it…that is the most interesting thing to do at the moment. So spin around in your chair to help pass the time but it just made you dizzy.

After several gruesome minutes filled with boredom, the game was done with setup. The game home title appears on your screen. You click the play button and your computer turns off.

“Did I kick the plug again?” You wonder. The screen was black. You check to see if that was the case but it wasn’t that. The plug was in. “Well then I don’t…” A bright light interrupts you and blinds you. You get dizzy again and proceed to faint.

“Ug…my head” You moan. You can’t see a thing with your eyes being blinded before. You try to run them to clear your view. When your vision cleared, you noticed that you aren’t at you house. In fact, you are outside in the middle of the dirt road in foggy weather. You can’t see anything except for three feet in front of you due to the thick fog.

“Where am I and how did I get here?” You look around the area. You notice a certain sign to catch your eye. You walk towards it to get a better view. Once you are close enough you can see that the sign is falling apart and piece of it were chipped away or had sharp claw marks in it. You can barely make out the letters but it said Ponyville on it.

“Well I guess I am at ponyville but I don’t know how I got here.” You ponder to yourself. “I need to find a way back…OW!’ While talking to yourself, something seemed to fall on your head and landed right at your feet. You look around to see what could have caused and found out that it was a rolled up piece of paper. You pick it up and unfold it. In doing so, a compass fell down onto the ground.

“Hun? A compass.” You question why you need a compass. You look at the paper and realize that the piece of paper was a map of the area. “Well that explains the compass.” You examine the map closely. You see six X’s on the map at different locations. Each seemingly to be in the area of this Ponyville.

“Well, this is convenient. I know the area better since I can’t see through this dense fog.” You turn the map over to see a note written on it. “A note?”

Welcome player to the game of Imscared. The object of the game is to go to these locations and find six ponies there. However there are…other complications that you must do and might run into but that is for you to figure out and I am sure that your small pea size brain can understand this. Remember you cannot leave the game until it is finish. There are no rules except survive.

“Survive? Can’t run? What the Hell is going on!” You exclaim. “I arrive in the middle of nowhere and expect to play a game!” You start to walk away from the sign towards the other side of the road. “I think I am dreaming…I really am if I wake up in the middle of a place and I…WHOA!” You were flinged away from where you were and landed right back to the front of the town sign. You landed in the most ungraceful way by landing face first into the soft dirt.

“Ow…” You mumble into the dirt. You try to get up but you just sit down on your but while getting the dirt out of your hair. “That hurt…Oh no! I felt pain which…which means…I AM NOT DREAMING!” You panic. Everything starts to flood to you at once. Then you start to freak out. “This is real, I am in a sick twisted place, to play a game, with God knows what and I have to survive!”

By now you were in a fetal position rocking back and forth trying to understand the situation. You thought really hard for a good 20 minutes and came to the only conclusion. “I have to play a simple game of Hide and seek with the people here…no problem” You say to calm yourself but it came out a little bit shaky. “I always wanted to be in a horror game.”

You find the items that were giving to you, a map and a compass, and try to orient the map at where to go. Since the map had symbol of the sign, it was easy to find out which way to head to. “Well first is the cottage in the middle of the forest.” You gluped at the thought of entering a dark forest, “No problem. “ You head north to the cottage of number six.

chapter 1b: don't play the game

You chose to not play the game. “I doubt that this game isn’t real so I should just deny the game.” You click “no” on the pop up.

The screen promptly came up with this response. “Don’t be a chicken and play the game”

You think that this is a way for to make you angry enough or possibly give in just to play the game. You click no again.

“Wow…way to be a chicken. Here just click the play button. It is really simple and so easy a monkey can do it.” The screen keeps insulting you

Wow…the people that made this game really want you to play it, but you manage to keep your cool. You click on no for third time. The screen disappears and pop ups again with different text and a picture of a roasted orange Pegasus. This confuses you as you don’t know what that means. You ignore the picture and read what text says.

“Well it turns out you are a chicken and what we do to chickens is roast them!”

"Roast them? Is that a form of hazing?" You ignore it and got rid of the popup. So instead of play games, you decide to watch people play horror games on YouTube. “Man…this guy can’t play Silent Hill 2 if his life depended on it”

While being enveloped with the people screaming their heads off, you didn’t notice your computer wire producing sparks. The sparks manage to set you carpet on fire. You haven’t realized it until the smoke started rising. You start coughing from inhaling it, and the smoke made your eyes water. The fire works its way over to your radiator which seems to be leaking out propane gas for an unknown reason. You try to exit the room but you forgot you locked the door. You desperately try to unlock the door, but the lock seemed to be broken. Your pant legs start to ignite with the fire and cause you to hope around in pain. You try to quickly put it out as fast as you can. You look over to the radiator and noticed that the fire is almost there. You frantically look for a way to escape. You see the window and try to open it, but it is locked as well. The fire reached the radiator and is about to ignite. You only have one thing to say at this moment. “Fuck me.”

Meanwhile three girls are walking on the sidewalk after having a party. They were talking about the events that transpired.

“Hey Alyssa, did you notice that Spike was staring at you the entire party.” Suzy pointed out.

“Really? I was payin’ attention to that new foreign exchange student Patrick.” Alyssa said in her southern drawl.

“Ugg…you and your talk about boys is really boring me.” Stacy impatiently said. She was riding on her scooter at the moment.

“Sorry if our conversation bore…” Suzy started but was interrupted by an explosion from the house across the street. All the girls just stood there and stare at the remains of the burning house while debris just falls around them. It was a good thing that they weren’t close to the blast.

“THAT WAS AWESOME!” Stacy shouted in excitement. “DO IT AGAIN.”

“Well that was interesting…I wonder how did that happen?” Suzy pondered.

“It was probably a gas leak or somethin’” Alyssa reasoned. “We should get back home before our parents yell at us for being late…again.” The three girls continued their way to their house. What they didn’t know was that someone was in the house and if they looked hard enough, they can see the burning remains of your arm sticking out of the wreckage. This all happen because you were a chicken which ended up having you

DEAD

Well, well, well. You already died. That must be a world record at failing! Didn’t you know the whole story is about to play a game. I mean, it was literally in the summary and it was a freebie! You should be ashamed of yourself…unless you were just curious as to what would happen if you didn’t play the game then it was curiosity that killed you. Now you are wondering who I am…Well I am just someone hidden in these text. I will talk about how terrible you were with the choices. So you can call me the annoying guy to say how stupid you are. So right now I recommend that you go back and ACTUALLY try to play the game right. I don’t want to keep seeing you here over and over again. Well…go click the link right now or are you too stupid to do it! Do it now!
