    About this ebook

    1999 is a year that will haunt me forever.

    No matter how hard I try to forget it, I just can't.

    My friends and classmates ask me all kinds of questions to try and make me explain the events of that year. And I always give a similar answer.

    "What happened that year?"

            Don't ask what.

    "Why are you scared of that year?"

            Don't ask why.

    "How did you get this fear?"

            Don't ask how.

    Just.

    Ask.

    WHEN.

      I SAT STARING, slack-jawed, unblinking. The mesmerising, soporific sounds from the television lapped over me. The toddler sitting on my lap was the same. It was intoxicating. This was like the visual equivalent of Valium. I hadn’t watched children’s

      For a story written by a 17 year old, it was fun. It definitely lacked maturity, realistic facts on how things work, and had a lot of grammatical errors, making the author's age obvious. Despite this though, the concept has a lot of potential. If it was fleshed out more, a bit longer, edited better, and was given a more grown up feel to the style of writing, I think it would be a really awesome novel. It would be like a Puppet Combo video game in book form. The author did a great job for his age, but an updated, more maturely written version would be cool!

    Thank you. Without your support, critique and patience, I would have never achieved my dream and this major accomplishment.

    Acknowledgements

    I would like to thank my teachers, my friends, my family, and God without whose help this book would never have been completed.

    I especially would like to thank my parents and my brother and sister for always supporting my decisions and guiding me down the right path. I also want to thank them for encouraging me to write as I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I do. This was all possible because of you guys and I am forever grateful.

    Preface

    Dear Reader,

    As I’m writing this Preface, I am only 17 years old. I’m proud of the fact that I finished writing an entire book by the age of 17 and I believe you will love it as much as I do. How did I get the idea for such a crazy book?

    Well, at the time I was working on a book on Wattpad called the Asylum, which was inspired by a video game called Outlast. I was having a hard time getting into the story, and I realized that if I was having a hard time getting involved than a reader would have an even harder time. So, there I sat deeply disappointed in myself. I was reading some Creepypasta. For those who do not know, Creepypasta are essentially internet horror stories, passed around on forums and other sites to disturb and frighten readers. I am fascinated with horror. Whether it’s a book, movie, or game, I love horror. Yes, even the cheesiest and most predictable ones. So, while I was reading Creepypasta, I was amazed at how these random people created such freaky stories and I was immediately
