I Wish You Farewell

When I looked at myself in the mirror this morning, I knew it would be my last day here. I had been a student at Innerstar University for nearly four years, and I was going to dearly miss it. What would happen to me? I was just a cyber avatar. Would I perish, ending up in the dreaded computer file trash can?

I didn’t want to think about the end of today. I stepped out of my walk-in closet, knowing that in just a few hours, I would never step into it again.

“I love you, Coconut.” I told my favorite pet. Would I ever see her again?

I stepped out the same, slightly-creaky doors of Brightstar House. It had been my wonderful home all this time.

I would never enter it again.

I walked a little ways away from it and savored the warm sunshine and green grass. ISU was always happy, all-year round. Now, it was coming to a close. A shut-down. A complete deleting and erasing. I was going to perish.

“Starlight library,” I whispered as I walked to the place I had always loved to go. I had received every single award in Borrow-A-Book – I loved reading so much. Would I ever reading “the Feelings book” again?

I walked down the path to the river. It’s soft, calm sound only made me more sad. Would I ever stand here and listen to it again? No, I wouldn’t.

I walked a little more to behind a bush. I wanted to cry, but I had no time to lose – I had to go to a few favorite places before my world – literally – was going to end.

 I tried really, really hard not to cry as I came near U-Shine Hall. My best friends Caitlin and Piper and I had so many dance-a-thons here!

Caitlin and I dancing our hearts out.

Caitlin and I in matching outfits – we did that a lot.

Piper and I.

The Shopping Square was one place I would never forget. I said hello and goodbye to one girl as I reminisced shopping here for the latest stuff… so much fun.

There were only a few more minutes until the final shut-down. Tears stung my virtual eyes as I came upon Five-Points Plaza. I walked up the starry pink bridge and watched the fountain. My eyes started to blur, and tears spilled out.

“Oh, my beautiful home. I am going to miss you so much,” I whispered.

At Sparkle Studios, I went behind the studio and surrounded myself with nature. I looked about the green world and smiled.

One last smile.

All of the sudden, a cyner armegeddon happened.

Pixels and designs started to smash into each other.

I looked around frantically. Flashes of colorful, frightening glitches streaked by.

I couldn’t hear a thing.

I opened my mouth to scream, but no sound came out.

I felt dizzy and sick.

One, last blurry image of the Brighstar House flashed before my eyes. It blurred a little more, glitched here and there, and I felt myself falling.

I’m perishing! I’m perishing! I wanted to scream, but it only raced over and over again in my mind.

All went black.
