Playing games

A story about different games an ordinary person might play around the house, with certain twists.

Hello, its me! Back again after a Dramatic car crash and serious leg injuries….

Split Personality: What a cry baby!!

Don't you ever leave me alone???

Anyway, here it is.

Chapter won.

I breathed heavily, in and out. Sweat dripped down my forehead as I heard the creak…. creak of footsteps pounding down on a rotting wooden floor. It was getting closer… to close for comfort. I heard a final creeeaaak and then.

"Blah!! Haha, I found you Max!!"

"Damn!" I swore under my breath as the Gasman pulled me up from my savage crouching position under the coat rack in the closet.

"Now you have to seek next!! But first, I have to find Angel, Total, Nudge, Fang, and Iggy."

"Fang agreed to play??" I asked in shock, recoiling.

"Yea, he said he'd find the best hiding spot, and I'd never find him! C'mon!" He started ushering me along the hallway, towards the kitchen.

"I wonder if anyone's hiding in there."

We peeked around the kitchen doorway to meet the gaze of Fang, sitting on the counter and eating a bag of stale potato chips.

"Fang!" the Gasman whined, folding his arms and pouting. "You where supposed to hide!"

"I'm hiding in plain sight." Fang remarked calmly, shoving another handful of chips into his mouth.

Gazzy untangled his arms and put his hands on his hips, which sent me into a little giggle. "But that's no fun!"

"It is for me." Fang countered.

Gazzy gaze up, then grabbed my arm again. "C'mon, Max. Lets go find everyone else." We started walking, leaving Fang to his Potato chips.

"Lets check Iggy's room next!"

We slowly crept up to Iggy's door, trying not to step on any squeaky floorboards. Gazzy pushed the door open, which in turn swung into an unsuspecting Nudge, using the old 'hide behind the door so when they open it, they won't see me trick'.

"Ouch!" she called out impulsively, and our heads immediately snapped in the noises direction.

"Found you Nudge!!" the Gasman called out, and Nudge slowly crept out of her hiding place, massaging her temple.

"Now to find-" Before Gazzy could speak the name of his next victim, there was a loud and sudden eruption of sneezes, originating from under Iggy's bed.

Gazzy, Nudge, and I looked at each other with aghast looks on our faces, then slowly crept up to the bed. The Gasman dropped to his hands and knees and carefully peeked under the oversized sheets.

"Got you Total!" I heard the gasman yell out, followed by a, "Oh, darn it!" from Total.

The Gasman pulled his head out from under the bed, as Total crawled out the other side.

"Hoh, if only I hadn't sniffed dust ball. Say, Iggy really needs to clean under his bed! Its disgusting in there!"

"I'll keep that in mind." I commented, seeing smiles from Gasman and Nudge.

"Now, only Iggy and Angel left!" Gazzy punched the air, and set of moving. We all followed.

We started of to Gazzy's room thought better of it, (I mean, who hide in there? It should be shut off from the rest of the house and fumigated!) and headed down to Nudge and Angel's room.

We didn't make an effort to keep quiet, knowing Iggy would here us either way.

We all burst through the door, and Gazzy proceeded to check the closet. Bad idea. Apparently, Iggy had booby-trapped the closet, and as soon as it was opened, a huge puff of flower exploded, covering Gazzy from head to toe.

"Grrr…" Gazzy started, when heard a small snigger. It came from behind the curtains.

We walked towards it, and Gazzy ripped open the curtains. There stood Iggy, his shoulders still shaking.

"Found you!!" Gasman said, his teeth clenched.

"Hurry, Max." Iggy called out. "Describe Gasman's face to me!"

I gave Gazzy a good long look. "Lets see, powered white face with bits of steaming red skin breaking through, and an expression between 'I am so going to kill you' and 'Aaaauuugh!!!'

Iggy chuckled.

"Angel!" The Gasman called out. "You win!"

Reluctantly, Angel crawled out from under the bed. "I won?" She inquired, a cute, innocent look on her face.

"Yes, you won. For like the millionth time." Gazzy rolled his eyes.

"Wait a minute." Iggy said, a puzzled look on his face. " I wonder why Angel wins every time. She had one of the most obvious hiding spots. I wonder if she's-"

"She's what??" Gasman asked anxiously.

"Huh." Iggy, sighed. "I forgot what I was about to say. Oh well. Lets just drop it."

Yay!! Chapter one is done, done, done!

Split Personality: Finally! It took you forever to write this tiny thing!

Shut up!
