Line 1:
My name is Sarah Evans. Recently, my boyfriend – Richard – decided to reclaim his childhood by playing some old Mario game on the NES. Naturally, he invited me along to play, and me, being curious, accepted.
When I got to
His voice trailed off into a whimper.
I followed him inside, into his living room. There, he had the game system hooked up to the TV.
I took a look. I wasn't exactly sure what the screen normally should've looked like, since I never played the game myself, (chalk that up to parents who weren't exactly the biggest fans of video games not buying them for me as a kid) but what I saw...wasn't scary at all.

Richard screamed, and I exclaimed,

He was so invested in his insane rant that he didn't notice when I walked to his kitchen, rummaged through his drawers and cabinets, found a hammer, took the cartridge out of the game system, and smashed it to bits with the hammer.
Some days, I have no idea why I put up with this man.
