The Gaming Senter
It was a stormy June night, and I was approaching my local game store, which was not a GameStop, which makes it creepier. The store's name was "Gaming Senter" I noticed how it was misspelled, which disturbed me, I opened the door, and behind the counter stood a thin man. His name was Ian, and he was VERY thin, and, uh, he welcomed me when I walked in the store by saying "MWAHAHAHAHAHA Welcome to Gaaame Sssenter".
I was perturbed, disturbed, and very uncomfortable by how I was welcomed, I looked up at Ian the game clerk and said "Is this not Halloween?"
"Yes" Ian replied, "In fact it's June, if I remember correctly!" You look like you are in need of a special type of game. My heart was racing a little fast, I looked up to Ian and said once more "A special kind of game? What kind of game do you have in mind? Is it for the Xbox3 60?"
"Why yes, it is!" Ian said. "The Xbox 360 is the most demonic console ever spawned in America." "Impossible!
I own a 360 already, Mr. Ian sir, and my 360 is not in the slightest demonic. So tell me, what of this special game?" I said to Ian again.
Ian laughed once more, and produced a blank disc from his back pocket, I guess... and handed it to me, saying "THIS is free of charge after you pay me 60 dollars!"
I pulled out by my wallet, and gave Ian 60 dollars. Reluctantly, I looked at the disc, thinking I was getting ripped off, but hey, I was a part of a story, a story written by two sources I had not known of, and still don't know of but am somehow talking about it.
After paying the mysterious game store clerk, I walked home, in the rain, without an umbrella, because who the fuck carries an umbrella, really?!
In the distance, I spotted a dark alley covered in shadow, from it emerged a dog. It stared at me with a very blank stare.
"Woof" The dog said. "woof, woof, woof bark woof," he continued. The dog bolted back down the alley and I followed in close pursuit. The dog had a family. Little demonic puppies from the trash can from which the puppies had emerged. They started to float, and started floating slowly toward me I was afraid, I raised my hands in defense, and decided to run from the puppies with my disc in my back pocket.
"Woof woof" the puppies cried. But in my mind I heard voices saying "THE DISC THE DISC". But my ears just kept hearing "yip yip", as they were puppies. All throughout my jog home, the rain poured down on me like bullets from gun firing very fast, but on my head, wet bullets, a lot of wet, wet, bullets, I made it home with the blank disc in my pocket, still hearing "THE DISC, THE DISC". As frightened as I was, I wanted the voices to go away from my head. I approached the Xbox.
The voices still ringing in my head, I got a text from my neighbor which read "Shut ur dawgs up". Even though I only heard "THE DISC, THE DISC". My neighbor was an asshole, so I ignored it, and then placed the disc inside the Xbox 360.
I placed the game in the Xbox 360, and booted up. I turned on the Xbox 360, and suddenly static. My TV was going frantic, I couldn't make out the visuals, until suddenly, I started seeing spotted image of my neighbor, Jeremy, who just sent me that text message, popping up, saying "Shut ur dawgs up" It scared me. "What a douchebag," I thought aloud, and turned off the Xbox because fuck that guy! "THE DISC" I heard once again, "THE DISC". It sounded like it was coming from the front door.
I was eager to escape the voices. I would do anything to make them stop. I sprinted toward the front door as quickly as I possibly could, tripping over a chair on the way, I scraped my elbow, but it wasn't time for a band-aid. "No, not yet" I said to myself, as I looked at the scraped elbow I stood up and opened the door. There I saw, an army of puppies, all barking "THE DISC, THE DISC" The barking continued. In the distance, I heard a scream 'SHUT YOUR DOGS UP" My neighbor yelled from inside his living room. I ignored him once again, lifting the disc up towards the puppies, assuming that I took it with me from the Xbox, I think that happened.
Yeah. I offered it to the puppies. "Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark" the puppy nearest to me said, and in my head I heard some more kinda barking, I think it was a regular dog. But the one behind it, "BARK, BARK, BARK, BAAARK" "GIVE IT TO MEEEE" I heard. I trembled, and extended my hand towards the second dog, and the first dog kinda ran in my house, because it was a regular dog, and now I've got a dog in my house. I named my new puppy, Sparkles, because of how it sparkled when it came through the door. I would give it a tag later, considering I would survive the army of demonic puppies. I really hoped I could live out my life with Sparkles, my new dog, but now wasn't the time for that. Upon the handing the disc, I placed my hands up, and the disc slowly floated out of my palms into the air, and then all of a sudden, the image starting to appear on the disc, it was fuzzy at first, but then it became clear to me what this game was intended to be.
Slowly, the blurry image began to focus. It was forming a face, a face that I recognized. It was IAN from Game Senter, which I go to all the time, and would never forget the name of. He began to emerge from the disc, as all the puppies go "Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark!" Ian, now emerged from the disc, says "You've freed me from Game Sity, I already forgot what it was, Game Senter, I never worked at a Game Sity! Now I can continue to chase my dreams of being a dog groomer. These are my dogs." "Bark, bark, bark, bark" All the dogs barked in unison. "This is a very long sentence" Ian concluded. "You're reward for freeing me," Ian continued. "Is this puppy you named Sparkles. Take care of Sparkles, and don't ever let him leave your side. If he does run away, or die at your side, you will die along with him. For you have played the contents of the disc on your TV screen, and are now bound by a ridiculously strict contract you did not realize you have signed."
In a flash, the mysterious Game Sentral worker, Sentral?! Game Senter. The mysterious Game Senter employee vanished, along with all of his puppies. I returned inside, not sure if I was scared, or just kind of annoyed with everything that had happened. After taking 2 steps into my house, I heard a knock at the door. Slowly, I turned around and opened it. Standing outside was a police officer, and he said "Yeah, we had a noise complaint about some dogs." THE END.
