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:

Discussion

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.")
