    As they began playing, they noticed something was off. The characters were distorted, and the game was unusually dark.

    Suddenly, a terrifying version of Sonic appeared on the screen. With blood red eyes and a malicious grin, it was Sonic.EXE.

    Sonic.EXE declared, 'You can't run!' The room fell silent. The game had turned into a chilling experience.

    Alex and his friends were paralyzed with fear. They tried to shut off the game but the console wouldn't respond.

    Alex, remembering how the game worked, formulated a plan. 'We must trap him back inside the game!' he yelled.

    Alex and his friends lured Sonic.EXE back into the gaming room. They began to reprogram the console.

    With Sonic.EXE momentarily distracted, they managed to reset the game. Sonic.EXE roared as he was sucked back into the console.

    Exhausted, they collapsed on the floor, relieved that the ordeal was over. The game cartridge was discarded, never to be played again.

    After that night, they were more cautious about the games they played. The haunting memory of Sonic.EXE served as a chilling reminder.
