Write a thriller story beginning with this premise.

Game Over

"Game Over" I look around and that's all I see. Flashing over at all the arcade games. The door are clicked shut. The overhead lights are abruptly turned off.

Okay now I'm freaking out. "Anybody there?" And that's how people die in horror movies. I need to shut up and I need to find a way out. I run to all the exits and as expected they were all locked and all the windows are boarded up. I can't remember how I got there but I'm really starting to panic now. I started getting really tired and decided to fall asleep.

I woke up and realized there was no food and water there was nothing editable in the arcade. I wanted to cry. I spent the rest of the day hungry. And the next day. And the next day. At some point I gave up. I look at the game over screen one last time. I laugh.

"Really is game over for me huh." That's the last thing I said before I killed myself.
