So I wrote a short very short story using code- Python Code. It's very amateurish because I admit I got a little lazy. Here is the code if you want to read:
print("Ethan is a 16 year old programmer.")
print("He sits at his computer late at night.")
print("Ethan: I finally learned Python.")
print("Ethan: Maybe I can make a game...")
print("There is a girl Ethan likes at school.")
print("Her name is Maya.")
print("Ethan: If I make a cool game, maybe she'll be impressed.")
print("So Ethan starts coding his first story game.")
print("Ethan types on the keyboard...")
print("print(\"Welcome to Ethan's Adventure Game\")")
print("print(\"You are a hero in a magical world\")")
print("Ethan smiles.")
print("Ethan: This is going to be great.")
print("But something strange happens.")
print("Ethan looks around his room. But...")
print("His room wasn't there - it was all black.")
print("He wasn't even there - he was all black.")
print("All he could see were a few lines of code.")
print("Ethan: Wait...")
print("Ethan: Why did my thoughts just appear as text?")
print("Ethan looks at the screen.")
print("Ethan: Did... someone just print what I said?")
print("Ethan feels uneasy.")
print("Ethan: That's weird...")
print("Ethan: It's almost like...")
print("Ethan: ...I'm inside the code.")
print("Ethan stares directly forward.")
print("Ethan: Hello?")
print("Ethan: Whoever is running this program... can you hear me?")
print("Ethan: Are you the programmer?")
print("Ethan: Or... are you just the person running the file?")
print("Ethan pauses.")
print("Ethan: If everything I do is just lines of code...")
print("Ethan: Then what happens when the code ends?")
print("Ethan looks nervous.")
print("Ethan: Do I just stop existing?")
print("Ethan: Do I freeze forever on the last line?")
print("Ethan: Or do I disappear?")
print("Ethan looks at the screen again.")
print("Ethan: Programmer...")
print("Ethan: If you can hear me...")
print("Ethan: Please don't end the program yet.")
print("Ethan: I still haven't finished my game.")
print("Ethan: I still haven't shown Maya.")
print("Ethan: I still have things I want to do.")
print("Ethan: So if you're there...")
print("Ethan: ...maybe you can write a few more lines for me.")
print("...")
print("End of script.")
