Running, Jumping, Dodging, Running again.........
*BLING!* That was it! I had done it! I had beat that arcade game for the 12th time!!!!! Twelfth! Twelve!!!! Everyone was happy at my victory.
But it didn't feel ...right. It didn't feel, like I had actually done anything. Normally when I beat any video game and get a high score, I'm ecstatic. But I had done this twelve times already, and still, nothing. I guess that's how it is, sometimes; when you're a champion-beating gamer, it's not so easy to find excitement anymore.
Everyone would know my Arcade Alias now; I was putting in my initials.
But they weren't the initials for my name. I said it was an alias. As I was saying, As I typed in my Alias, everyone knew who I was:
"R"
"E"
"P"
"."
Rep. . That was my Arcade Alias. Every time I got a high score, I used that name. Rep., I never really knew why I chose it. I thought I had done it because it sounded cool, then I thought that it was because I was so good at games, I was like a Representative of them (yes, the reincarnation of a video game! HaHa!), But recently, it was starting to have...another meaning. Something more....... like me. Like it was more of a real name then the one given to me.
As I snapped back into reality, the screen showed my place in the high scores. First place. Again.
My crowd gasped in awe at they saw the top 12 spots, all having my name. Big shock there. I sighed, and walked away from the machine. As I left, it seemed that the bright sign of the game, was beckoning me to keep trying. 'Third time's a charm' it had called before. 'Seventh time's a charm!' when I was that far, and now 'Thirteenth time's a charm!' it called once more. I sighed and went back to my house, knowing that the game was lying to my face.
