Video game

Yusof was a person that loved inventing things even though he was only 11 years old. Whenever he had some new or interesting inventions, he would invite his friends Azim, Hana, Aleesya and Syirah over to the house.

One day, Yusof invented a video game. As usual, he invited his friends over to his house.

When his friends arrived at the house, Azim asked, “Okay buddy, what have you invented today?”

Yusof brought out the video that he made out from his pocket. It looked like a video game controller but it had a screen on it.

“This, is what I made today.” Said Yusof proudly. 

Syirah looked at it not looking as impress as Yusof. She said, “This is what you made? Video games are what the world already have. I was expecting something even more interesting from you.”

“But, this is not just some ordinary video game.” Said Yusof.

What he said managed to get everyone’s attention including Syirah.

“What’s so special about this particular video game?” Asked Aleesya interested.

Yusof smiled from ear-to-ear as he was happy that at least someone was interested with his invention.

“Well, this game needs five characters. It’s okay if it’s less than five. Anyway, if you look carefully, you can see like a tiny camera on top of the screen. So, what you have to do is take your picture using this camera. You need to press the blue button. After you press it, your faces will appear on screen wearing the clothes that the game thinks suits you.” Explained Yusof.

“What type of game did you make?” Asked Hana.

“A horror game.” Said Yusof. At that very moment, Syirah was interested.

“Can I try out this game?” Asked Syirah.

“Sure. Okay, Azim, Hana, Aleesya and Syirah please stand over there.” Said Yusof.

The four did as they were told. Yusof took the photo. At that very moment, Azim, Hana, Aleesya and Syirah were sucked into the game!

“Where are we?” Said Syirah as she found herself and her friends in front of an abandoned mansion.

“Guys, I think that… We’re in the game.” Said Azim as he pointed to the screen which had Yusof’s face outside of it.

“What are we going to do? How do we get out?” Asked Hana terrified.

No one answered Hana.

“Yusof! Yusof! Look into the screen!!!!!” Shouted Aleesya.

Yusof looked to the screen and saw the four of them. “How did you four get into the game??” Asked Yusof full with curiosity.

“Wait, you can hear us?” Asked Syirah in amazement.

“This game has sounds. So, whatever sound comes from inside the video game, the player can hear it.” Explained Yusof.

“Again, what happened? How did you four get into the game?” Asked Yusof again still wanting an answer.

“I think that your video game needs some fixing. By the way, why ask us? Ask the genius that made this game.” Said Azim.

“But, this will be interesting. Yusof did say that this video game is themed horror.” Said Syirah.

“So, are you four going to play or not?” Asked Yusof.

“Depends, how do we get out?” Asked Hana.

“Once the game is over, the characters faces will be changed so I’m guessing that, when you four finish the game, you four can get out.” Said Yusof.

“Are you sure?” Asked Aleesya.

“Yes. Yes I’m sure.” Said Yusof.

“What are we waiting for? Let’s start playing!” Said Syirah excitedly.

Without another word, the four of them went into the mansion prepared to experience the unknown….
