Hey, so before we start this incredibly long story. I just want to properly introduce myself. Hello, I am Eli Smith and I am a normal-ish kid who just so happened to get stuck in a video game. We all good on introductions? Yea? Ok, Good. Let's get this over with before I lose my mind from people asking me to do this.
It all started with me walking home from school with a smile on my face. I had finally been able to make the last $50 bucks that I had needed for a trip that I've been planning for years. The last $50 that I needed to go to the place that all "Nintendorks" (Such as myself) wish to go at least once. The E3 convention, the biggest video game related convention ever. I had been saving for over 4 years just so I could go and I finally had it, the money that I needed.
As I walked through the door of my house, I put my backpack in the little backpack holder my mom had put up so that she wouldn't have to clean them up off of the floor. I walked to my room and put the cash that I got into the large jar that I had hidden in the top of my closet and as I put it back I could hear the whining of my dog, Punkin. So I put the money back into the top of the closet and took Punkin out of the kennel. As I was putting her leash and collar on her, I found myself humming a familiar tune that I couldn't remember which game it had came from. This had bothered me for some reason, and I knew it shouldn't had but I just found myself in a state of frustration from not remembering. While I walked my dog, I continued to think of where the song had came from but eventually shrugged it off due to me not wanting to give myself a headache.
When I walked back into the house, I began to go back into my room so I could properly count the money from the jar. As I was half-way through, my family walked through the front door and my mom called,
"Eli, you here yet?"
"Yea, I'm in my room mom!" I called from across the house.
"Get down here! I need to talk to you!" She called back up.
Sighing, I got up reluctantly and went downstairs. When my mom saw me, she told me to follow her into the living room as she sat down. Not ever really understanding what my mom has planned, I continued to stand as I patiently waited. She thought for a second before speaking, and what she said had blown my mind.. But it was also the main reason that what happened in the not-so-distant future. Thanks mom.
