*Plays Mario Theme Song on the Piano * What if you could play video games all day? Man wouldn't that be great! In an old story that I am trying to find, someone Wakes up in their favorite video game while they are sleeping in the real world. The parents are freaking out and don't know what to do. When you are busy doing stuff, and your parents ask you to do something; What is the response that they receive from you?  The main Character decides that he isn't going to stop playing the game. Things start turning dark and his parents are trying to help but he thinks that he can do it on his own. How many times do your parent try to help you without you seeing it?
Hey! This is my latest Swipe File post, I'm just summarizing my short story for the week, titled 'Hunted'. It starts with the Main Character giving a quick intro to his situation, he's facing off against the demon who's been hunting him. They clash again and again, finally, the Main character, beaten, bruised and battered, cuts off the demons hand. This causes it to roar in pain. The roar, louder than the previous ones, shakes the snow loose. The Main character is lost in an Avalanche of snow, thus ending the story. I put a lot more detail into the actual writing of the story, so I hope everyone likes it!

Swipe File pt. 8

One of the easiest things in life to swipe from is the people around you. My younger brother asks me to paint his nails a different color every week but he is the star of his baseball team and plays video games every spare moment he has. My friend is obsessed with cars. He draws them, paints them, spends hours working on his own car. One night after we finished eating at a restaurant, he left to get his car while the rest of us paid, a minute later he dashed back in looking like he saw an angel but in reality it was only a Toyota supra. The elderly lady who lives two houses down, never fails to open the door every Monday and Wednesday saying, “Come in, come in dear,” somehow knowing it is me despite being legally blind. My mom once told my sister and I that girls use to brush their hair 100 times before they went to sleep to make it shiny. My sister tried one night, but fell asleep on the 62nd stroke. These characteristics of people may seem random and unimportant b...
