The Tale of the Video Game Buddies
Chapter 1: intro
By Son of the Specter 992
The Clearing was lit with the crackling fire by the time that John arrived.
"It's about time you got here John; we can't start the meeting without you." Nicky said in anger and relief. Ever since the New Midnight Society had begun he had been uptight about its members and their promptness. "where were you?"
"sorry, I was… never mind."
Michelle was sympathetic to all of the members and highly catholic. "Come on John, tell us where you were and all will be forgiven."
That's when Josh stood up. "I'll tell them John." John looked at Josh in shock. "John was finishing the inspiration of my story tonight. Did you beat Phantom Gannon yet?"
Nicky looked like his head was about to explode. "A VIDEO GAME? YOU'VE KEPT US WAITING BECAUSE OF A STUPID VIDEO GAME?"
Josh got up and comforted Nicky. "calm down nicky, he's here now, and besides, if he weren't playing his game, we wouldn't have a story today." Nicky sat down and Josh began his introduction. "there is a fine line between fiction and reality. The line is so fine that even the littlest thing can destroy it. What would you do if you were trapped in a world of fiction, a world of fantasy, a world where any wrong move can cost you your life. In my story, a kid enters such a world and finds out that there is more to life than what you can see or feel, that what you touch, taste, and smell isn't the only thing in existence and he winds up in a game where if you win, you live, but if you loose, you die."
He grabbed the sack of salt from behind him and grabbed a handful. "submitted for the approval of the new midnight society, I call this story…" he throws the salt into the fire and announces the stories name, "The Tale of the Video Game Buddies".
