My friends were flying off the shelves before they ever had a chance to settle in. It seemed every time I introduced myself to someone they were taken seconds later. It was finally my turn when I saw an extremely good looking man come and take me off the shelf.
When we got to his house I noticed how carefully he took me out of the box and read the directions word for word. He set me down near his 54 inch big screen television who I quickly became good friends with, his name was Toshiba, I think he was Japanese.
The first thing I noticed when my owner grabbed my controller was how soft his hands were, he must moisturize daily. His choice of games seemed to be the usual for people his age: sports, fighting, and war games. Judging by the movies he watched, he had some infatuation with Judd Apatow. My owner uses me a lot, its almost obvious he has no life, or girlfriend, or friends in general, but god bless him he does take wonderful care of me. Every now and then I can hear him yell at his mom not to touch me, I think he has trust issues.
We've been together for two years strong now. I'm hoping soon we have the big talk and he commits by switching me to a High Definition television. I don't want to loose him though, so for now I won't push the issue.

Ali,
ReplyDeleteSuch a good post! I loved your idea behind your set up.
I think my favorite line was definitely "The first thing I noticed when my owner grabbed my controller was how soft his hands were, he must moisturize daily." Little lines like that were all over your post and they really add a good flavor to your piece.
You have wonderful ideas and a convey your thoughts in a really creative way. I'm looking forward to more of your posts! Have a good weekend
Ali-
ReplyDeleteGreat post! So is this an Xbox or PS? From beginning to end, you had wonderful descriptions of the settings and who was doing what- the way you described your hands and the game consules surroundings were excellent. It really adds to the story when you add so much attention to detail, and really helps the reader get a sense of atmosphere. Great story!
