"Hey, Peter, why are you in such a hurry?" Said a random animated guy.
"Um... I'm looking for Miss Polly!"
"Polly? That Ghost Girl."
"Um...yeah"
There are different types of cities, towns and countries here on this planet (our planet earth). But have you ever thought about the world that can be inside our computer, laptop or smartphone. A world that we humans have created but are still unaware of. Do Peter and his newly made ghost friend belong to that world? A world about which you must have heard or seen in movies or read them in a fiction book. But have you ever thought that this world may really exist? And it may also be that some minor characters are watching us right now, when we are using our phones or PCs.
"You broke my heart, you kissed that voice typing girl." A floating pen said while pushing a bucket-shaped figure away, which was floating in the air too.
Well the world inside Iseul's computer is really cool. It looks very different than the outside world. Here the machines talk and so are the managers, guards and cops. Who help maintain the peace of their hometowns.
"Hey kiddo, don't run like this. You will fall. And your mother will blame me." A cop with a big mustache said to a boy who was running crazily fast.
"Peter! What's up man? Long time no see. Haven't seen you, since that ghost girl had kicked my ass."
And the city where Polly and Peter were built. It is called the Write-Ups town. It is a writing software where people across the world write stories, novels and then send them to various online writing sites so that the world can read their stories and recognize them as a true writer.
"Hi, J and sorry for not showing up for a while. Well, you should stay in your character, after all you're the bully in the story." The green-haired boy Peter replied to a boy who seemed like a good kid.
"Miss Polly! Miss Polly! Where are you? We are getting late. Miss Katy will get angry. Miss Polly?" He reaches the end of their Write Ups town, yet Polly is nowhere to be found. He was in a dark place, and he was also very scared. And suddenly 'crackled he heard the sound of a door slowly opening. Which was probably a private unused room. And as he turned he saw the bob-haired girl floating in the air in an awkward position. It looked like she was doing some kind of yoga. Her eyes were dilated as if the pupils of her eyes might come out and a green light was coming from behind her.
Seeing her like this Peter was horrified and asked with a trembling voice, "Miss Polly, what are you doing in such a state."
"I am trying to concentrate so that I can enter the world inside the smartphone. You remember right what, Miss Katy told us the previous night? That we can keep up with Iseul-shi through her smartphone too."
Last night
"You can go to the outside world even when the computer is off, but the city you're built in needs to be installed on his smart phone, iPod or something other than this laptop. Which she carries with her wherever she goes. Turns out, the phone screen can be your second gateway to the outside world." The words of the AI really exaggerated Polly. And she got so excited that she didn't get much sleep last night.
Present
"I'm trying to stay awake for the rest of the day. So that we can enter the world inside her smartphone, perfectly." She laughed strangely.
Peter tried to talk to her "Miss Polly, I know how desperate you are to help Iseul-shi but....You know what I mean? I know you are a ghost. But you must take care of yourself too." Peter continued to talk, he closed his eyes giving her a great lecture, and meanwhile when he opened his eyes in the middle of his stupid lecture, Polly was no longer there. She had already disappeared from there.
"Oh my god! She's already gone." He cried out in despair. Then he turned around, got out of the room and ran again towards the city. It was as if he knew where she would be.
"Hey, Peter, are you still looking for the Ghost Girl?" A girl asked.
"You're still looking for her? I thought you might have found her. Anyway, I saw her go to the east corner." J the bully said.
"Thanks J. I'm going that way too." Peter answered him, breathing heavily.
"You're welcome" he replied politely and continued to repair his broken bicycle.
"Okay... keep calm Peter. Miss Katy knows you, she won't attack you anymore. You're a brave boy, aren't you? And Miss Polly is in this room too. Right? So don't be afraid. " Peter was doing some sort of rehearsal before entering the AI's room. He was terrified, as he remembered the last moment he had met her. After hours of rehearsal, finally he slowly opened the door and entered the room. "Miss Katy! Miss Polly! Is anyone here?" As he stepped inside, he saw the AI and Polly talking to each other like two good friends. But the AI was still under-reacting to that sentiment. The only one who was laughing at her own jokes was Polly.He couldn't believe his eyes. "Sorry, Miss Polly, are you okay? I mean you looked very disappointed a while back. But..."
"Oh about that! I was just fooling you. And I can't even believe, that you really thought I was disappointed because I couldn't sleep last night. Don't you know? Ghost doesn't sleep. Haha!" She started cracking jokes on Peter.
"Yeah! Yeah I'm an idiot" He said with a hopeless look. And added, " Well when are we going to enter that world?".
"Everyday at 8 a.m. her alarm goes off. She always takes about 15 minutes to turn off the alarm. That means you'll only have 15 minutes to enter the door, I told you about earlier. If even after her phone is on at 8 o clock, the door will not appear at the end of your city. Then it simply means that it is not installed in her phone either. If it will not open, then there is no other way out" Said the AI.
"So, we must go to the door now," Peter answered.
"Not us but me. I'm going to be near that entrance. And you'll be right here with AI and notify me when her alarm clock goes off." She said this with a serious look.
"What? No...I want to come too!" Before he could finish his word. Miss Polly had already left.
"Oh no not again..." He was disappointed.
AI was bored seeing him whining like a kid. "Oh...hey Miss Katy" he shook his hand at the AI with a forceful smile that stared at him without any expression.
(Ring! Ring!) Peter's phone rang, it was Polly. "What is it?"
"Um...nothing, I just wanted to know if your cell is on." she giggled.
"Agh" as he hung up his phone.
Iseul's alarm started ringing out of the blue. It was 8 in the morning. Peter then called Polly to confirm whether the door was opening. But the answer was quite unsatisfactory, the door didn't appear. They waited for about 5 more minutes but it didn't appear or open.
"Miss Polly..." Peter took her name on the phone softly because she wasn't talking, she was sad.
She didn't say anything, just hung up her phone and turned to go back to her city with tears in her eyes but like a bolt from the blue. She heard the sound of a door crackling, the door opened. It was 8:12. Which means, she had only 3 minutes in her hand. She couldn't believe her eyes. A huge light was coming from inside that room which could blind anyone. But Polly didn't care and because she had little time left. She jumped inside the door without thinking anything. After she passed through the door, It closed and disappeared from their world.
