Audience: college students or Mortal Kombat 3 fans
Detail: A boy who still uses a 1990-looking computer program
Setting: In a computer lab
Character: A girl who went to a Christian Camp over the summer that was a very spiritual experience who is to start college again for the fall semester.

“I have to go to the computer lab after class to take my test,” Emily said to her friend as she took out her Bible. Emily had recently had a spiritual awakening at Bible Camp over the summer. She said bye to her friend and walked to the computer lab while reading her Bible. She read the Bible aloud since she felt it would help her realize the message of the parable she was reading. When she arrived she noticed Josh sitting in the corner with his computer. Josh's computer looked older than he was and he was often ridiculed for it. Emily had just started being nice to him since she learned at camp that no one should be left unloved. She sat next to him and noticed that he was concentrating hard on his computer. She asked him what he was doing and he answered, "I'm owning punks in Mortal Kombat 3." He suddenly got really angry and yelled at the screen of his old computer, "This idiot thinks he can kill me with Subzero's ice attack." Emily had remembered Mortal Kombat from the 90s but didn't really know much about it but she did realize that it was a violent game and tried not to look at it. While he played the game, she was trying to read him passages from the Bible but he wasn't listening to her. She also felt the yelling at the screen was immature and childish.
Although, Josh asked her to play and she played a match so he wouldn't feel bad. She got addicted to the game within seconds and suddenly she found herself yelling at the screen. She said things like, "I'm going to wipe that smile off your face with a scorpion spear move." She first noticed that she was into the game when she was impaling Raiden with Kitana's fans. She played all day and chopped off many heads to become an even better player than Josh. That is how she went from being a spiritual girl to a video game addicted one. Emily now plans on playing Mortal Kombat 3 until the day she dies. No one knows if she will go back to being spiritual or if she will continue to kill b***hes in Mortal Kombat 3.
