Back into the Game / Who am i?
I laid down in my bed thinking about last year, how we had all got together. What I would give for anything to relive those moments to feel like that again. Wait a minute.
Quickly I staggered downstairs then downstairs again to the basement. I dug through some old boxes on the shelves and found the destroyed consul, the one that had took me, Martha, Fridge and Bethany to Jumanji. I picked up the game chip and stared at it with wonder.
I remembered how inside there I was Dr. Smoulder Bravestone. He was fearless and brave, and he felt like he could do anything. I wanted to be like that again. Maybe the feeling of feeling like him again would somehow help me.
I don't know why I did it but I made the ultimate reckless decision. I was going to go back into the game and be Bravestone again. I had to. It was the only way I was going to feel less anxious again.
I plugged the consul and the chip to the TV. Nothing seemed to happen at first. I tapped. There was a sudden voom and I saw the TV put up a blurring screen. "Welcome to Jumanji," the voice called out.
I saw my fingers disintegrating and then my whole-body disintegrating until I felt myself flying into darkness, right into the green.
Next thing I remember I'm running through the jungle. Then I come to a ledge and leap and then thud. I land on my two feet without tripping. I take a moment to ease myself. I stare around and see nothing but green trees. I was back.
I suddenly gasp when I realised, I had hair, and breasts? I wasn't Bravestone at all.
Wait a minute. This isn't Bravestone.
I felt my clothes and realised they were black, and I had a long red scarf tied round my neck, fingerless guns and pockets tied to my belt. This isn't anything like the other video game characters.
Quickly I dashed over to the river. "No!? I was a girl?! My hair was black and tied up in a huge bun behind my head and my skin pigment was lighter. This is was a completely different character. Who was I?
I pressed my right breast and a purple list of strengths and weaknesses appeared.
For strengths I had cat burglar, pick-pocketing and safe cracker. For weakness I had pollen. This was basically me because I was small and crafty, and I had allergies. I couldn't believe it. Why was I a different character? The game was busted. I couldn't believe what I had just done. I came here to be Bravestone again so I could feel brave, but now I'm a pickpocketing Chinese girl with allergies who now has to finish the game by ourselves.
How could I have been so stupid? What was I going to do?
Suddenly I heard aeroplane engines. I looked up and saw an aeroplane glide over the trees. A plane? There wasn't a plane last time.
With no choice, I followed the source of the plane and saw it land in a clearway of grass. The pilot's window opened revealing Nigel Billingsly.
"Ahh Ming Fleetfoot!" he greeted. "Welcome to Jumanji. Hop aboard!"
Ming Fleetfoot? That was my new avatar's name? With no choice, I boarded the plane, unprepared for what was to come. If this plane was a new thing, then perhaps the whole goal of the game was a new thing too.
