Ben laid happily on the floor eyes fixed to the screen as he made Deku scrub Link run to complete his goal. He completed majora's mask several times but he loved the game so much he would start it over again.
Playing video games was the only way he could ignore torments from his older brother and sisters. He also played games to get away from his depressed alcoholic father. His father had been like this since Ben's mother committed suicide when Ben was just 3 years old. His father blamed Ben and so did everyone else apart from his grandmother and grandfather, or meemaw and pop as Ben called them. They loved Ben very much, they were the suppliers of all of his video games.
"Dad, are you sure about this?" Ben's older sister Laila said from the kitchen.
"Yes think about it, he's an absolute disgrace" Ben's father sighed.
Laila sighed she had never really liked him all that much anyway.
"I guess you're right I'll go get Jackie, Matty and Ben,"she says.
Ben looked up at his older sisters when she walked into the room, switching off his game by the switch, Jacqueline took him by the arm.
"Hey! Let go of me. I was about to..,"
He was cut off my his father telling him they were going to the beach and he was coming with them.
Ben grumbled whilst his brother dragged a strange bag behind him.
"Matty what's with the bag?" Ben asked.
"Nothing Ben," Matty said looking at him with disgust.
Ben traipsed after his siblings sand getting in his boots and the wind whipping his blond hair into his blue eyes.
"Hey BEN let's go for up on the pier" Matty said taking his little brothers hand and walking him up the pier.
"Thanks for being nice too me for once," Ben said.
"Hold still Ben," Matty said hooking something onto his belt.
"What's tha-" the cold clash of waves interrupted Ben.
"HELP ME! I CAN'T SWIM!" Ben felt his body being dragged downwards.
He came to the shocking conclusion that he was going to die, never again would he hear his meemaw's stories and never again would he play chess with pops. He was drowning.
The black bitterness of death enclosed Ben.
Ben's spirit lifted from his body, he saw them. Angered he followed them home and watched them give all of his stuff to his meemaw and pops.
He flew into majora's mask and attempted to finish his game, until he saw his pops face through the game. His pops must have got curious.
"I can see why he liked this came Margaret, that avatar looked just like him," poppy said saddened.
"Oh poor Ben, he met with such a terrible fate..."
