It was 11:30 P.M. and I was just about to go to sleep. My room was dead silent, and the only thing you could hear was the rats under my floorboard making a mess as usual.

I crawled into bed and rested. Well, at least for about 5 minutes. I woke up and heard a noise coming out of the kitchen. I immediately dismissed it as the rats just doing whatever rats do like always so I tried to go back to sleep.

The noise was still there. Only louder this time.

Eh, I was thirsty anyways. So I went into the kitchen to get some lemonade and see what all the ruckus was about and what I saw nearly scared me to death.

A game cartridge. Right out of nowhere. And I KNEW I didn't have this one either, so something creepy was obviously going on.

I didn't even know what to do. I was honestly getting scared, so I turned on some of the lights in my house and decided to play the seemingly happy-go-lucky game I found on the kitchen floor. It was called "Sonic R", and since it seemed to be a kid-friendly racing game, I decided to calm down and play it for a little while.

Little did I know that was a HUGE mistake.

Now, I'm the kind of person who just HAS to 100% the game, so I spent all night playing that racing game until I got EVERYTHING. I even unlocked this funny character that was just a doll of Tails. Talk about LAZY!

Then I had a funny idea. I swore to myself that I'd beat SUPER SONIC with JUST the Tails Doll character. After I did this I was going to reward myself with a nice big glass of some more lemonade and finally go to sleep.

I saw this mode that I think was called "Tag-Race" or something like that, I really don't remember. But the objective was to tag all the players and win the race.

I spent a LONG time trying to beat Super Sonic, he was EASILY the best character in the game. But after countless attempts, I finally tagged Super Sonic.

..................

That was the worst mistake of my entire life......

At first, nothing really happened. It gave me the whole "Congratulations" screen and I drank my lemonade and went off to bed. It was 1:26 in the morning and I was TIRED.

But the second I even made physical contact with my bed, the doorbell rang. At first I thought "Who the HECK would wake me up at 1:26 in the morning!?" But I went to the door anyways.

I checked through the little peephole in the door to see what it was but nobody was there. Nobody.

First I thought it was one of those "Ding-Dong Door Ditches" but it rang again. And again. And again.

Annoyed, I looked through the peephole once more, only to find a bloody Tails Doll trying to get into my house.

I was downright SCARED, and I had NO idea what to do. If I called the police, they'd think I'm crazy!

I tried to contact my friends but they never answered! No matter WHAT I did, the outcome was always the same.

I was stuck in my house with a bloody Tails Doll outside of my house ringing the doorbell every 2 seconds.

I downright panicked. There was no way I was going to stay here and let that dumb supernatural doll ring my doorbell every 2 seconds. I went to the kitchen again, grabbed a long sharp knife, and hid it in my pocket.

I finally opened the door but when I did, nobody was there. I checked EVERYWHERE for it. Outside, inside, above me, below me, every direction known to man! But I couldn't find the doll.

I closed the door and told myself it was just a creepy dream. But I still had no idea what to do. I didn't want to go to sleep anymore, I just wanted to have a happy night.

I once again inserted the game cartridge into my Sega Saturn and played Sonic R to calm myself down a bit.

It was fun for the short time it lasted.

It was now 3:40 and I was so ridiculously tired I felt like I was going to fall asleep in one second. I went to my bed for the last time and what I saw..... Jesus Christ the lord what I saw.........

The bloody Tails Doll was sitting on my bed. It was also staring RIGHT at me.

I panicked again and got out my knife, only to have the doll take it right out of my hands and throw it out a window.

I also tried using all the other kitchen knives in my house, but the outcome never changed.

I was now weaponless. All I could do was sit in the corner of my room begging and pleading the doll to not hurt me. I've never been so scared before in my entire life.

"P-p-p-p-PLEASE! I.... I didn't mean to! I was just scared, don't hurt me! I beg you!" I said, more nervous than a person doing a comedy act in front of a million people.

The doll just stared at me for about 10 seconds, then it telepathically grabbed one of the knives it threw out the window.

It jabbed it straight into my heart.

RIGHT after that I woke up on my couch, with the Sonic R game still on. I sighed and turned off everything while telling myself it was just a nightmare.

It was still 6:00 in the morning, so I thought just a little bit more sleep would do me good. After all, sleep IS a healthy thing.

I went to my bed, sat down on it, and did nothing. Nothing at all.

Because sitting on the couch, with the Sonic R game cartridge in his hand, was the bloody Tails Doll I saw earlier.
