My X-Box Experience

Last night I decided to play my X-Box for a while before I went to bed. I was sitting on the end of my bed and I turned my X-Box on. It seemed to be making strange noises and the picture was very fuzzy. I checked my controller to make sure everything was ok. I checked the wiring and that seemed to be fine. I just couldn't understand what was going on. I could hear voices but everything was dark on the TV screen. I tried and tried, but I could not get a clear picture. I turned around to see if maybe a plug fell out of the wall and I ran right into a glass wall. How could there be a glass wall in my bedroom? I walked up to the wall and I could see my bed. My bed was on the other side of the glass wall. This was strange.. I looked around and I was standing in the middle of a battlefield. There were soldiers and monsters running all around. The only place to hide was behind a jeep. Someone called my name. It was my friend Jacob. Jacob and I always played video games together. He was just as surprised as I was to be in the middle of the X-Box game. I was beginning to feel very nervous. I asked Jacob how we got here and he just shook his head. This could not be happening. The noise all around us was so loud it hurt my ears. We just did not know what to do. I started call for my dad but he couldn't hear us. The monsters we coming our way and the soldiers were right behind them. The gun shots were coming closer and closer. We realized that the monsters could see us as well as they saw the soldiers. We were right in the middle of a big battle. Being on this side of the TV screen was not as much fun as it was on the other side of the screen. While we were hiding we had to duck from the bullets and the monsters. I wanted to get out of here and crawl into my bed. I realized that this game was not fun when you were in the middle of all the danger. Jacob and I started pounding on the glass wall. We were yelling for help but no one was coming. I wish I could just push a button and blow us out of this mess. The monsters were running towards us. We kept pushing against the glass wall to get out. I had an idea if Jacob and I could just flatten our bodies against the glass maybe the monsters would charge us and we could move and they would break the glass. It took several limes but the plan worked and the monsters cracked the glass. Jacob and I smashed though the screen. The monsters were so surprised they missed us that we had time to cover the TV screen with a piece of wood. We were safe. Jacob and I decided that we would not play video games for a long lime. I knew my dad would be happy to get rid of my TV and X-Box in the morning. I think I will be happy too.
