"Bri, you HAVE to push the Xbox button! My controller flashed when I did it, but I think we have to do it together, let's try again."
I consider myself to be a pretty patient and rational person, but sometimes I do dumb, outrageous shit, and when it comes to videogames, I ALWAYS do dumb, irrational shit quickly and in a hurry. Shit like throwing a gas can at the witch and lighting her on fire, jumping off of buildings, and running head first into a horde of zombies. *YYYABBB- Left Trigger-Xbox Home button*
Sirens began to go off in what sounded like the near distance, but felt like inches away, and after 2 seconds of the sound piercing our ears; I spat my gum out. Our eyes were blinded by a multitude of bright light flashes that seemed to last forever causing us to close our eyes for at least an entire minute. The air around us thickened and swirled, wrapping us in a cloud of uncertainty. And just as quickly as it began, the madness ended, and we opened our eyes.
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me, this is the opening scene from Blood Harvest, like the level the from the game" I slurred, obviously in shock.
"Yup, looks that way, HOLY CRAP!" Lindley said non-nonchalantly, while simultaneously going into survival mode and beginning the search for weapons.
We searched frantically and silently for what must have been 10 minutes before coming across anything. We remained focused on the task at hand as to avoid freaking out about our situation. "It's just a game" I kept reminding myself silently.
"There's an old crowbar over here in this car; I guess it will have to do for now" Lindley whispered. She grabbed the crowbar and I wielded the large, sturdy branch I found, and just like it was any old gaming session, I took false lead, jogging 15 feet ahead of Lindley into the unknown, weapon steady. Just one thing was different today, it's not just a game anymore, we both knew and accepted it, but refused to admit it because at that moment, there was no room for our ever so common freak outs.
