Left and Right paddle were involved in yet another furious game of Pong. It was a pitched battle, so much so that no one smelled the smoke until the room was on fire. Quickly the players evacuated, leaving the console to continue playing by itself as the computer served out the match.
Shortly afterward, the house and game burned to the ground and became ashes. The next day the sun rose, birds chirped, the people moved to another house and students went to school.
