Line 1:
One time I was laying back on the couch eating a twinkie, and just totally being lazy. I mean ultra-lazy. I
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
I saw the post man getting back in his mini car.
"Hey, I
He drove off without looking once at me. What an idiot.
I took the box to my porch and looked at it. Since it was suspicious, I
The letter was in very shaky handwriting, which read:
Line 17:
Dear John,
I
Lots of love,
Line 23:
Bobby
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:
I went to sleep later that night and had a dream of Bobby with black, bleeding eyes holding the game and repeatedly telling me, "
The next morning I looked for the game, which I left on a table by my door. But, it
"Oh, no you
I tried to take it out, but it was stuck.
Line 45:
"Shoot," I thought.
"
I
They ignored me and said, "Get that out of here, NOW!"
Line 57:
"Did you find bugs, honey?" My mom asked sweetly.
"No," I said flatly. "
Later back at our house, I brought the dumb game in my room.
I figured I could bury it in my back yard. Or throw it away. I figured
The next day, I tried digging a hole with the game still in the bag.
"Oh, doing some gardening?" He said with a big grin.
Line 77:
That evening at dinner, my mom suddenly got a big smile on her face before taking a bite of mashed potato on her fork.
"Oh, honey,
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!
I sighed and decided to explain to her my attempt to get rid of it.
"I
"What?" She asked, suddenly having a frown. "Does it not work anymore?"
"Yes, it
"Well, how about you put it on later and find out?" She asked. "
Later on, I took it back to my room. My parents wanted to see it turn on, so I figured
"Oh, a horror game!" My dad said cheerfully.
Line 105:
The last thing I wanted to do was play a game from a supposedly dead friend begging me not to play it.
"
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.
Line 115:
The next morning, I saw the console was plugged back into my TV. I ran over and pulled the game out of the console, shaking the cartridge in anger.
I figured that I could wait for the house to be empty, and could destroy the cartridge with a hammer. Leaving it in a school bathroom
An idea came to mind. I could try flushing it!
Line 125:
Later in the day, my parents did their regular shopping run.
"Okay,
I smiled and twisted my hands together in an evil villain sort of way.
Line 137:
"Goodbye, evil video game," I told it, bringing it to our kitchen trash can and lightly dropping it within.
No, I
About a week later, I got another package in the mail. This time it was from my friend Jessica who had recently gone insane and was sent to a mental hospital for no explicable reason. I opened it to find a cartridge and a letter. I threw both into the trash late at night.
