"Second Player". The story of the "ghost" of the father in a computer game

In 2014, the guy named 00WARTHERAPY00 left a comment on YouTube under the video “ Can video games carry spiritual experience? ". He told his small but very touching story.

The story was sold online and even published on Habré , and now it itself has become a plot for a short film. The film is called Player Two .

I was four years old when my father bought the good old Xbox. You know, that first, massive brick of 2001 of release. We played it very, very much in a variety of games and had fun together - until he died, when I was only six years old.

I could not touch this console for ten years.

But once I did it, and noticed something. My father and I often played the Rally Sports Challenge races, for those times it was a pretty cool game.

And once I began to dig ... and found a GHOST.

Literally.

Do you know that during the race the fastest lap is recorded as a "ghost" racer? Yes, you understood correctly, the ghost of my father was still driving around the track in circles.

So, I started to drive and drive, until almost overtook him. And once I was able to get ahead, overtook him, and ...

... stopped right in front of the finish line so that the “ghost” would not overwrite.

Bliss.
