He knew he shouldn't have pressed the ad. He knew he shouldn't have. He knew about the missing people, the sketchy ads, the terror in general around the 'Find A Friend' ad. He felt like he was being teased, though. Now, as 2 hands gripped his shoulders, he sat thinking to himself; That was a terrible idea. And it was. Now, as the loud laughter rang out, he could do nothing but sit in terror as the being pulled itself out of his computer screen.
"HAHA! I'M SO HAPPY TO FINALLY MEET YOU!!"
He was terrified. The creature was vaguely humanoid, but it had no arms. It had 4 hands, 2 floating where they would be if he had his hands and non-existant arms relaxed, and the other 2 gripping his shoulders so hard he thought he'd bruise. The creature's head was a triangle with one large eye.
"Trikon, lovely to meet you, Alex!"
He was so terrified he didn't even register the person- Trikon- said his name. He started to scream.
"Oh, jesus- Shush! There's no reason to scream! Hush-up!"
Trikon clamped his 2 free hands over Alex's screaming mouth. Alex squirmed and tried to kick him.
"Shut. Just.. Be quiet. It's harder to struggle."
Trikon glared.
"You're my best friend now."
