How To Pass Time Being Sick

My name is Kyle Rea. Recently I got the flu, which has left me at home with nothing to do but play Minecraft and watch soap operas. Luckily, I&amp;apos;m going back to work tomorrow, because I&amp;apos;m not as sick as I was one week ago, but being in this state reminded me of how I pasted the time when I was sick for two weeks.

I work at an accounting firm, though I&amp;apos;m also a part-time computer technician and expert. Somehow, I came down with a terrible cold. When I went to the doctor, he said that I should stay at home for at least two weeks to recover. This dissappointed me, as I didn&amp;apos;t have that much money and food, and my cable company said my contract was up. Luckily, my girlfriend at the time had everything but a cold, so she was able to help me get through.

But two weeks at my dreary little house?! I was bored out of my mind on the first day. My only hope of avoiding terminal boredom was &quot;Doctor Who&quot; on Blu-Ray, but I was too sick to get out of bed. On day two, I got an idea.

I was going to troll my friend.

I downloaded the files for one of my favorite games growing up, &quot;Sonic the Hedgehog.&quot; I created all sorts of creepy things, like demonic pictures of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles, hanging guts of critters, red and crimson palette swaps, all sorts of creepy and scary stuff. I burned it all onto one ordinary-looking disc, and hid it so nobody would know what I was doing.

I then wrote a letter to my friend saying how he needs to destroy the disc, before it was too late.

On day 13, I then decided that I would add more levels of creepy. I found a Sonic plushie that I had bought and painted red around its eyes.

When I felt better, while coming home from work, I entered my friend&amp;apos;s house (he enters my house unannounced all the time, so don&amp;apos;t say I&amp;apos;m breaking-and-entering) and very silently put the plushie right behind his chair. He was taking a nap at the time.

A couple days later, he found out that I wasn&amp;apos;t dead. He almost killed me when he punched me in the face 30 seconds later. I guess you could say I deserved it.

I&amp;apos;m still friends with Tom, and he&amp;apos;s actually turned my prank into a really popular online creepypasta. So really, without me being a jerk with the flu, he would had never been able to scare you guys.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
