The girl sees an advertisement for computer software that allows people to go into an environment that they can create. When she gets home that evening she goes into the game and has fun doing things that she loves with no worries. When she looks at her watch she decides to leave the virtual world. When she gets to the portal in the virtual world, it isn’t working; it is shut down from the outside. What had been 5hours to her was 5 days in real life.
Her parents don’t know where she has gone. They closed down the ‘computer’ on the same day she disappeared not realising it is actually the portal from the virtual world she was in, to the real world. The same night the girl and her mum had a typical teenage argument and the mum thought she ran away from her so the mother never forgave herself.
Later just before the parents move out of the house the computer gets put into the basement with a load of other stuff and years later when new people move in, they discover the computer and whilst learning how to use it they turn it on and go inside the girls game. The come across the girl, recognising her from news reports as ‘missing’. Then they take her to the portal and bring her back into the real world. They then help her find her mum who was in hospital very old and ill. They get re-united just minutes before the mother dies happily.
