Danger Road

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Astonisha, but her friends called her Ast, but some went to Ash for some reason. Quickly, she adapted that name.

Anyway, this girl absolutely LOVED Animal Jam. She played it day and night, and got some spikes in the end. She continued playing, and soon she had a den and a trade list full of betas and rare items that everyone wanted.

One day, she went on a special wiki she'd made just for herself. She planned to make stories she could later open the wiki to, and they could comment their opinions and ratings.

One day, she saw a comment on her message wall. Confused, she clicked the link and it took her to the message:

"Want to give me a magenta furry for 600$? I'll ship it to you. What's your address?"

She agreed and shared the information with the strange user. They arranged a trade.

She excitedly logged on to Animal Jam. With 600$, she could buy anything she wanted. Almost. First, gifts for her sister, Lily. Then, gifts for her puppy and mom and dad. She decided on what to give them and went to her den.

She waited for a few minutes, then got impatient and went back to the tab with the wiki. She asked what he was doing and he replied, "Driving."

"Where?" she typed slowly, not sure what to say. Should she be scared or what?

"To AJ, duh" he replied, and didn't comment after that, no many times she spammed. So she went back to Animal Jam and again, waited. She hated waiting, so she started her homework. But she got bored of that too, and turned back to the screen.

She waited for the person to come, but he never did. Angrily, she shut her computer just as she heard the sound of glass shattering.

''Mom? ''She wondered, not daring to hide. She crept silently down the stairs to see someone with a knife. Her mother was laying down, a pool of blood sinking into her clothes. MOM! ''Father's at work, right? He won't get him...''

She hid, knowing that since Lily was at dance class and dad was going to pick her up, everything was fine... except mom.

The guilt hovered over her, and at once she knew what had happened. She regretted trying to exchange the currency with the strange user, but it was too late. The knife was embedded into her stomach and she never opened that computer again.

'''The moral is basically, don't exchange online currency. It's not safe for you or your family members, and to make it less sad and intense and stuff, I let the little sister and dad live. But that's not promised if you exchange currency with someone you don't know or you meet on the Internet. So, please, don't do that. Even if it works the first time, it's not promised to the second. So be safe and protect your accounts and loved ones. Thanks again wheatgem for the wonderful idea!'''
