I had just gotten out of College for my summer break. I was on my way to my parents house when I noticed a yard sale. It was just a little ways away from my parents house so I went ahead and pulled into the driveway. I got out of my car and started to look around. "May I help you miss?" An old man was sitting in a chair beside the pile of things on his yard. "Oh no thank you. I'm just looking" I smiled at him. He nodded and looked back out at the road. I saw something that caught my eye. It was an old Nintendo 64 game. I picked it up and read it "The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask" I smiled, I use to play The Legend Of Zelda games all the time. I looked at the man "I'd like this please" He looked at me slightly shocked. I tilted my head "Is something wrong?" He quickly shook his head "N-Not at all. That'll be 2 dollars" 2 dollars? Thats cheap.. I nodded and gave him the 2 dollars "Thank you" I smiled "No. Thank you" He seemed really happy to get rid of that game... I shrugged it off and got back into my car heading to my parents. I wonder why he seemed so tense when I brought him the game..

I pulled up into my parents driveway. My mother came out of the house "Blair!" She shouted happily "Honey get her things and bring it to her room!" I smiled getting out of the car. My mom ran up to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged back "Hi mom" She smiled "Hi sweetie. I missed you!" My father came out of the house "Welcome home, Blair" He smiled as he got my things out of the car. My mom led me inside "I'm so happy you're home. I have so many boy's at my work i'd love for you to meet!" "Mom!" I giggled "I don't need a boyfriend right now" She giggled "Of course not sweetie. But i'm sure they need you!" I shook my head following my dad up to my room. "We sure did miss you here" He smiled and me placing my things on my bed "I missed it here as well" I smiled back and we hugged. "Well i'll let you get your things out and put away." He smiled leaving my room.


I put all my things away after a while. I looked at that game again. I wanted to play it. I sat in front of my TV and put the game into my console. It started up just like all the other Zelda games did. Ah how I missed that music. It went to the 'load game' screen and I saw a saved file named 'BEN'. I shrugged it off. That old man did own the game before me. I created a new file and started to play. A little ways into the game it started to glitch and the phrase 'You shouldn't have done that...' popped up every time I tried to interact with the other characters. Great, I bought a broken game.


 I sighed turning off the game. I layed on my bed. A little while later I heard the game turn back on and the phrase 'You shouldn't have done that...' Was on the screen again. I blinked and got up turning off the game and my TV. But once I sat back on my bed it did it again. Thats when I saw something begin to step out of my TV. Yes, you read that right STEP out of my TV. I freaked out and hid in my closet. A boy that looked like Link but with black eyes, blood red pupils, blood running from his eyes, and pale skin stepped out of my TV. What the hell was going on? No wonder that old man was so happy to get rid of that game! It was haunted! 


He looked around. His sight stopped on the picture of me on the night stand. He walked over to it and picked it up, looking at it. I covered my mouth trying to steady my breathing. God I was so scared. What the hell. He just came out of my TV! "Blair!" I heard my mother yell from downstairs. He looked over at the door then back at my picture. "Blair..." He said quietly before setting down my picture. He looked straight at my closet and smirked. He walked back to my TV going back into it. Everything went quiet. The game stopped. I slowly walked out of my closet. He knew where I was? What is he? How did he come out of my TV? I knew something wasn't right about that game. I have to return it to that man tomorrow. I don't want that him in this house. There is no telling what he could do to my family...
