PC Nightmare!!

[JorgeA]

I woke up early this morning, so rattled that I couldn't get back to sleep.

Dreamed that I was happily working away at my computer, when all of a sudden the familiar Word 2007 blue interface starts changing into various colors for no apparent reason. Huh?

Next, I notice that the name of the program is changing from MS Word to something like "Vert-Word." WTH??

Panicking, I try opening other programs, and they are all undergoing the same transformation. Excel becomes "Vert-Excel" and so on.

At this point, I discover that I can no longer get into my document files, as they are all getting encrypted.

In the dream, I think to myself, "Great, for all the good my overlapping and redundant security software has done!!!"

Finally, a message in thick black lettering over a red and purple background comes into view on the monitor: "Your files are being encrypted..." and the message trails off as I'm shocked out my slumber after barely 5 hours of sleep. Spent the whole day in a twilight state of as a result.

Thanks, dream hackers...

Maybe I need a vacation.

After the encryption is done, the only think you will be able to see is this horrifying image on boot:

And then... you wake up! _{(that was some good creepypasta!)}
