Chapter 3: Left The World
"Ellis!" Rochelle cried, peering her flashlight behind the bookcase. "Where the hell did that kid go?"
"Hey, Ellis, stop dicking around." Nick said, flatly; he was getting tired of that kid always playing around when they needed to act seriously. They had ran into a dark, isolated house that was located nearby a swamp to evade some nearby zombies, when suddenly a wind picked up and slammed the front door shut, locking them inside. Ellis had run deeper into the dark house, only for the Rochelle, Nick and Coach to lose him.
"Ellis!" Coach called out. No reply. "Let's check upstairs, he might be playing a trick on us. The fool."
Nick, Coach and Rochelle creeped upstairs, playing Ellis' game. Turning their flashlights off, they held their laughter as they creeped further and further upstairs. Nobody jumped out at them or said "Boo!". When they reached the top of the stairs, they went from room to room, till they reached what seemed to be a bedroom. Strangely, although there was no power, a small TV situated in the corner of the room was switched on; it only displayed white noise however.
"Well thank the Lord." Rochelle cried, going over the TV and hugging it. She hadn't seen one in what felt like years! Just as she touched the TV, it began to glow brightly. Before she could back away, the bright light zapped her, and instantly she disappeared!
"What the hell!" Nick screamed, frozen to the spot. He could not have just seen that. He quickly looked back at the TV. There was nothing remarkable about it. Beneath it he could see a little, flat black box. "What's that?" Nick said, his voice thin and strained.
"It's a Nintendo 64." Coach croaked. "Looks like someone's been playing it, it ain't covered in dust. Well, I'll be." Coach continued, as he leaned in closer to it. "It's got Mario in it."
As he said these words, the TV started to glow again, and instantly they were both zapped, both to disappear…
