Chapter 3
Shadow Puppets
I was starting to lose track of how much time was passing so I was trying to play SNES games as usual bcuz I was bored the hell out of my mind. Sure I had nachos and nacho cheese from the fridge but whenever I stopped looking at them theyd disappear or turn into something else, like spaghetti or mac in cheese or celery and stuff. Whatever. So anyways I was trying to play stunt racer fx but the cars kept bugging out and disappearing and the map was from super mario kart, which would have been awesome if the game friggen worked. Suddenly I glance towards my nachos and then back up at the tv and the game is gone, and on the screen are just a bunch of puppets instead.
I think to myself I wasn't watching sesamy street... What is this crap for babies!? But the puppets arent even saying anything, their just hanging out, looking at me, almost leaning forwards right out of the tv.
It's three puppets: a bunny rabbit, a cat and a crow.
The bunny rabbit was small and shivering and had big purple eyes that shined with little stars. The cat was kinda sad looking and had shiny yellow eyes and smelled like a tuna can left open in the kitchen for two days. The crow was a small chuby baby crow (fatazz lol) and even though it was cute it somehow smelled even worse, like chinese takeout that you reheated twice and then forgot about in mikes dads room under his pillow. It had deep red eyes, like meaty blood balls.

Sudde©nly i was with the three puppets on a hill with dark red grass in the middle of nowhere, under the night sky. The cuts going across the sky were still there, with black and white liquids flowing out of them. I was sitting on the grass, and the puppets were walking around, and sat in my lap snuggled together. Suddenly the coin guy pops out of my pocket again, and starts spinning around the puppets so fast that i can barely see him anymore... And then they start talking to me: (i am parophasing here because i dont remember it so good):
Jimmy, isnt the night sky wonderful?
I'm not a fan.
The stars stretch on and on forever, and you can trace any shape you want between them!
You can find the shape of loved ones, of your passions, and maybe even youreself.
You can find anything you like in the stars. And if someone tells you to find what they like... Tell em to shove it!!!!
But what if you find what *I* like?
Well... I promise I wont get mad!
Not even a little?
Its in your bloooo-oooood.
Okay... maybe I'll get a little jealous. But I could just get into other stuff!
These stupid puppets were just bickering about nonsense I didnt care about so I didnt even bother replying and laid down with my hands behind my head.
Jimmy! What kind of games do you like?
I like demons crest on the snes. And street fighter 2 and dkc.
Demons crest?? I love demons crest thats one of my favourite games!
Huh? you love demons crest, bunny? that's so cool!
Yeah that's awesome! Your taste is so impeckable!!
You should totally tell us more about your favourite games, bunny!
Well, um.. I like street fighter 2!
Wow!!!
I didn't really get what was going on. That stupid rabbit was trying to steal my thing. So i got up and started spraying flames at them cuz they were pizzing me off. Suddenly there was a bright flash and a super loud sound... And a super high piched sound...
And i was back in my room. The puppets were back in the tv, doing nothing. And the floor was covered in black muck.
