o you believe in monsters?” I asked Ryan, my best friend, when we were chatting and
sitting side by side on my bed. He was having a sleepover at my home during holiday.
“No, I never believe those baby tales.” He replied tiredly. “Why? I am sure after you
know what happened to me, you will change your mind!” I told Ryan.
Last summer, my father brought me a computer game about the Gobi Desert. My mission was
to find and defeat the final boss – Mongolian Death Worm. The game’s introduction booklet said
it is a giant sand worm lived in the southern Gobi Desert. It looked like a salami sausage with a
long and huge body. It could be five-foot-long. Its round mouth with many sharp teeth can spit
venom and it can emit electricity from its body, too. Such a scary creature! Because it moved
under dunes, I have to find the door to its underground kingdom. At last, I got there and I was so
excited! Suddenly, there was an earthquake. I felt dizzy and fainted. After a while, when I opened
my eyes, I found myself lying on the sands – it was a DESERT!
The desert was very dry and hot. I was very frightened and frustrated. When I tried to stand
up, I felt very heavy, Then I looked at my body. “How come?” I shocked. I was wearing the warrior
costume as same as the warriors in the game I played before. I suddenly realized that I must be
in the Virtual Gobi Desert Adventure game. I understood that the only way I could go back to the
reality was to complete the mission of the game. So, I started to walk to the underground kingdom
to look for the Mongolian Death Worm and defeat it!
On my way to the underground kingdom, I saw dunes and cactus. Feeling hot, I realized that
I was lost! Surprisingly, a camel appeared. It did not speak but its eyes seemed like telling “Follow
me.” So, I stepped careful after the camel. five minutes later, the camel stopped in front of a cave.
I found and a torch of fire and a sword which was also as same as the one belonged to the warrior
in the game. I grabbed the sword and rushed into the cave with the torch of fire. All of a sudden, I
remembered that there should be a quicksand near the entrance of the cave, so I walked carefully
and jumped over it when I found it. Finally, I reached the room where the Mongolia Death Worm
was in.
I slam opened the door and I was surprised to see that the worm was playing video game. It is
as tall as me! “Who are you? Where do you come from?” This “Salami Sausage” did not have eyes,
but it could feel me and asked curiously. “I…I come from Hong Kong.” I stammered and shivered.
“What?” Its face was full of questions marks. Suddenly he cried “ Ah, King Kong! “ The booklet
said this creature have no ears. They are right! “King Kong is my good friend. Hey, come here
and play with me. I am so lonely.” It continued. Then, I entered the room and sat down beside the
worm. “Yeah, Let’s start!” the big worm laughed and then pressed the “Start” button on the game
control. “Ouch! My head is hurt!” I screamed and the TV screen went dark. At the same time, I felt
the earthquake and soon became unconscious.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on the sofa in front of the TV at my
home. “What a relief! It must be a dream.” I comforted myself. When I tried to get up and drink
some water, I found myself holding something heavy -- It is a sword! “ I grabbed it in the cave in
my dream. Why it goes into my hand?” I puzzled.
“Ryan, Ryan.” I grabbed Ryan’s shoulders and shook him. “ Are you listening to my story?”
I questioned. “What story? Monsters? I NEVER believe those baby things!” Ryan replied loudly
when he had just woke up from this nap. “No!!!” I yelled exhaustedly.
