It was a stormy June night, and I was approaching my local game store, which was not a GameStop, which makes it creepier.
The
man.
His name was Ian, and he was VERY thin, and, uh, he welcomed me
Ssssssenter".
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
"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!
demonic. So tell me, what of this special game?" I said to Ian again.
Ian
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"
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
"woof woof" the
puppies cried. But in my mind I heard voices saying "THE DISC THE DISC".
All
throughout my jog home, the rain poured down on me like bullets from gun
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".
asshole, so I ignored it, and then placed the disc inside the Xbox 360.
I
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
"What a douchebag," I thought
aloud, and turned off the Xbox because fuck that guy! "THE DISC" I heard
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
Yeah.
I offered it to the
and in my head I heard some more kinda barking, I think it was a regular
MEEEE" I heard. I trembled, and extended my hand towards the second 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.
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

barked in unison. "This is a very long sentence" Ian concluded.
"You're
Sparkles. Take care of Sparkles, and don't ever let him leave your side.
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

all of his puppies. I returned inside, not sure if I was scared, or just
