Chapter 1
Jenny, whose hair is the color of honey in the sunlight, and whose eyebrows are like two decisive brush strokes, and whose eyes were the color of pine needles, was walking down Eastman Avenue one day. Even though that was a very rough part of town, Jenny isn't all that intelligent about keeping herself out of danger. She was throwing her boyfriend Tom, with his rakish, devil-may-care smile, his birthday party today, but alas- She didn't have anything planned!!! She had been planning a pool party, but goddamnit a cold snap had come a long and ruined EVERYTHING!!! So she had come to the dangerous part of town so that none of her friends would see her (oh, the embarrassment!!), in search of some sort of game they could play tonight.
She kept glancing and glancing and glancing over her shoulder, because she could hear the pitter-patter of footsteps, which belonged to two SCARY looking guys!!
She wanted to find a very special game. Something glamorous enough for Audrey, sexy (OOH BABY) enough for Tom, and frightening enough for Dee. Something seven people could play at once.
The pitter-patter of footsteps had turned into a loud clompity-clomp!!! They were very close, and were approaching more quickly than before!! AAAHHH!!!
She looked down Montevideo, and realized that the record store wall had a mural on it. The mural was of a street that looked much like Eastman Avenue before those damned riots had to come and ruin everything. Strange- Parts of the mural looked oh-so-real!!! Like that storefront painted in the middle, the one with the sign Jenny couldn't quite make out (due to her forgetting put in her contact lenses yet AGAIN). It had a door with a hand that seemed three-dimensional. In fact...
Startled (for what reason, no one knew why), Jenny took a step toward it. As she looked more closely, she could see undoubtedly that the door was real.
Oh sweet Moses!!! IT COULDN'T BE!!! …And yet it was. There was a door stuck in the middle of the mural.
Jenny didn't know or care why. She needed to get off the street and away from those creepy guys, and so she stood and said a little prayer to Mohammed in front of the door, that it could please, please be unlocked.
She grabbed the knob and…it turned in her hand!!! The door swung inward, and she could see a dimly lit room.
After but a moment of hesitation, Jenny leapt inside with a whoop.
Just as she did, she squinted, consciously taking in the sign above the door, which read…(can you stand the suspense???)… "More Games."
