Line 7:
I looked at the cartridge in question and identified it as a Gameboy Advance cartridge. It was bright blue and had no label. On the front the word "SMILEY" was written in all caps with red permanent marker. I told the kid that I'd ask around and see if I could figure out who owned it. He thanked me and left. I called the secretary and told her to make an announcement to figure out who owned the game.
"Teachers, pardon the interruption. Anyone missing a light-blue video game cartridge with the word 'SMILEY' written on it with red marker, please report to the guidance counselor as soon as possible. Thank you."
No one came to claim the cartridge. When school was over, I decided to bring the cartridge with me. I mean, why not, right? After a bit of digging through my childhood keepsakes, I found my good ol' purple Gameboy Advance and popped the cartridge in the machine. The game started up and I was greeted by a title screen with cheerful music. The words "Smiley RPG" could easily be seen on the screen in a big, fancy font with a castle in the background. I pressed start and saw there was only one option; continue. Thinking nothing of it, I chose the option. My character was a horribly blurry smiley face in a suit of armor. I was in some large, dark room. I chose to walk to the left and see what happened. I ran into a wall and a BUMP sound played. Tried going right. Nope. Up. Nothing. I could only go down. As I went down, the screen got slightly redder and various bloodstains were on the sides. I tried to walk to them, but I couldn't. Eventually, a smiley face in a wizard's robe with blood-red pupils started walking to me from the top of the screen. I tried to outrun him, but there was no sprint button. Once he caught me, he just stood there for a minute until a text box popped up.
"Your quest is OVER."
