        I walked around my little neighborhood, checking out their garage sells and thinking of what I should buy. I was sorta new to this place, ya know, my parents thought having a place of our own could make a 'better' future for me and little sister. I know that sounds a bit crappy but whatever. Okay, I kept on looking at rows and rows of tables filled with almost good looking items and my eyes caught on one thing that made my day. " Marjoa's Mask." I saw the name on the cover of the game cartridge that was sitting on the table as I stepped closer to it. " Hmm....I heard about this game. Perhaps, I can play it and see if that so called glitch is real......."  I smiled and picked it up. It was sorta smooth with the original cover ripped clean off from it. The title was written on it with a sharpie. I turned it over in my hands, examining it like there could be a good clue to solving a great case. 

        " Like what you see young one?" I looked up to find the creepy 80 year old man smirking at me. His face was dirty with dust and his clothes were tattered and wrinkled, like his tanned skin. 

     He has a girlfriend who is like in her late 30s' which is really gross and creepy. I just can't think and vision about what they do in.....private times. Eww. Anyways, he smirked at me which made me really uncomfortable and I slowly held up the game cartridge and nodded. " Yea. I like to buy this game. How much for it?" I put on my fake smile which totally made anyone think I was being nice but really.....I dislike them. " ............no charge. You can have it for free." His smirk was replaced with a frown. His eyes were suddenly filled with fear and discomfort. "What is up with this guy all of the sudden?? Did the game scare him?? Oh don't be crazy!! No way!!" I just kept my smile. " Are you sure? I have 10 dollars." "No. You can keep it for free. I am very sure. Just..........take it away please......" He walked away towards his own home which was broken down in some places and the lawn was filled with junk.

     I shrugged and put the cartridge in my back pocket. But then a sunken and uncomfortable feeling started to dig deep into my stomach, making my palms sweaty and my head sorta dizzy. "Oh calm down.....its hot out and the sun is only making you feel crazy things." I tried calming myself and it worked....sorta, because I couldn't help but to think and feel that someone was watching me.........buying this game was the beginning of my nightmare, I can tell you that.......
