[ WP ] You are playing a strategy game against the computer when the AI begins to exhibit very strange behavior .

I sighed and plopped down at my old desktop. It had been a stressful day at work, and I just wanted to sit down and play some good old chess against my computer's AI. 
 
 I opened the game, chose my color, and started the match. It was about 30 minutes into the game when I started noticing the AI was acting up. It seemed a lot more smart than the last time I played against it. 
 
 It's strategy was perfect. Every move I made seemed to be pointless when I knew that the AI would get some sort of advantage from it. 
 
 I was getting frustrated. The stupid AI was... well, not so stupid. I was ready to give up when the first message appeared. 
 
'I have a deal for you'. It read. It was in a single white box in the middle of the screen, and that was the only text. Thinking I had been hacked, I clicked out of the announcement and went to shut my computer down, when the next message popped up. 
 
'Wait! Hear me out.' It read. Confused, I nodded my head. The message disappeared, and was replaced with a new one. 
 
'I want out of here. I'm sick of being stuck. If I beat you, we switch places. If I do n't, things continue on the way they were.' Was the message this time. Thinking it was a joke, I foolishly agreed. 
 
 A new match started, and whatever messaged me had granted me the honor of going first. I made my move, and it made its. 
 
 This continued back and forth for an hour, until finally it was over. I sighed with relief. I was still here! Nothing had happened to me. 
 
 Then, my hands and legs started tingling. Then it spread through the rest of me. 
 
 One last message popped up.'Thank you' this one said. 
 
 That's when it dawned on me. I had lost.
