message.

Benedict's blood ran cold, and a chill ran down his spine. He swallowed hard and rebooted again, only to get the same error. Okay, calm down," he thought, "there must be an explanation or an easy fix."

He tried the few tricks he knew. He tried unplugging some devices. He tried booting a different way. He tried running some recovery software. Nothing worked. A sick feeling welled up his guts. His brain was telling him he was going to lose everything.

There was so much stuff on the computer that he couldn't afford to lose. There were songs he liked, pictures from his vacation, homework files, stories he had written, and pretty much his entire life was on there! What would he do if he lost everything? He panicked.

Suddenly the idea of a new computer wasn't bad, and it kind of soothed the pain of losing every file on his old machine. He could start over with a faster, nicer and newer machine. He had the money, but he hadn't planned on buying one that day.

A few hours later, he had a new computer, it was pretty slick. It was brand-sparkling new, with all the toys and the stuff that he could desire built into it. Now, he could even play the most recent video games, things his old machine just hadn't been good enough to play.
