So when someone knocked on the door, I yelled out loud angrily and got up like a drunk sloth. When I stumbled over to the door and opened it, with my twinkie still in hand, I was surprised to see a small package lying at my feet. I picked it up and took a good look at who it was from. It was addressed from my friend Bobby, who had died in a tragic chalk-eating accident last year. |

"Oh no you don’t,” I said, running to the street. |

"Hey, I don’t want this junk!!” I shouted at the top of my lungs, waving my twinkie at him in defiance. |

I grimaced, and looked at the game. It was a N64 game, and one I had seen at his house. It was called, "The Legend of Zelda: Pokémon’s Mask” and was written in black ink over its plain cartridge. I decided to do what he wanted. |

I went to sleep later that night and had a dream of Bobby with black, bleeding eyes holding the game and repeatedly telling me, "Don’t play this game!” I mostly replied with, "Shut up, I’ve heard you like a thousand times already! I’m not going to!” What an idiot. |

The next morning I looked for the game, which I left on a table by my door. But, it wasn’t there. I looked in the living room, bedroom, and even the bathroom in case I left it there on accident. Nope, no game. I was going to give up when I looked at my old Nintendo 64 console sitting on a shelf in my living room. It was already in the system! |

Then I realized how stupid that was and went to get some pliers. I got it out, finally. I put it in a bag and decided to take it on a road trip. |

"Hidden so no one will find it, huh?” I thought as I stood on a local mountain. I took a trowel and began digging a small hole, and then I set the game in. |
|||
"Stop right there!” Someone yelled in the distance. |

I turned around to see a park ranger running up the hill in a hurry, all the while huffing from exertion. |

"You’re… not supposed to litter!” They said, coming to a stop in front of me and barely looking at me. |

"Did you find bugs, honey?” My mom asked sweetly. |

"No,” I said flatly. "I’ll have to try later.” |

"Oh, doing some gardening?” He said with a big grin. |

"Yeah…” |

I spent the rest of the afternoon gardening. Shoot. |

"Time for you to go,” I told it. I walked outside directly to the garbage bin. The trash truck would pick it up tomorrow. I was done. |

She ran out of the room for a few seconds and CAME BACK WITH THE CARTRIDGE! Dang it! |

"You had almost thrown your game away! You’re so lucky I saw it.” |

I sighed and decided to explain to her my attempt to get rid of it. |

"I don’t want it anymore, so I was trying to get rid of it.” |

"What?” She asked, suddenly having a frown. "Does it not work anymore?” |
|||
"Yes, it doesn’t,” I lied. |
|||
"Well, how about you put it on later and find out?” She asked. "Don’t be wasteful.” |

Later on, I took it back to my room. My parents wanted to see it turn on, so I figured I’d leave it on for only a short time. I plugged the old Nintendo 64 into the wall and connected it to our TV in the living room. I grabbed my parents and turned the game on. A howling noise came from the game and a Nintendo logo came in and out in a staticky way. Then, the start screen appeared with a eyeless Link staring right at us. |

"Oh, a horror game!” My dad said cheerfully. |

I groaned, and watched the evil Link glitch out repeatedly with the happy mask salesman's laughter occasionally joining in. |

The last thing I wanted to do was play a game from a supposedly dead friend begging me not to play it. |

"I’m tired tonight. I think I want to go to bed now.” |

I did my best to feign sleepiness, and they both left. I went to turn the game off, but it stayed on. I unplugged the system, but it was still on. The happy mask salesman in a Keaton mask flashed on screen for a second. |

"Goodbye, evil video game,” I told it, bringing it to our kitchen trash can and lightly dropping it within. |

No, I didn’t hide the video game. I was smarter than Bobby and just got rid of it. I spent the rest of the day lying on the couch. |
