A cold day it was indeed. The windows were shut and the curtains were drawn, the lights were on and the computer was whirring.
'Come on, nearly on the last level...' Maya said to nobody in particular as she played a video game on her favourite website, Vizzed.
"Noooo!" She yelled suddenly. "Game over again... ugh, one more try. I mean, it's only 3 in the mornin'..."

'Ok, I'm sold.' Maya said. She grabbed the purple hand's finger and the hand sunk back inside the computer, taking Maya with it.
Maya smashed through the screen, not realising what she'd just agreed she'd take part in...
