Arcade game

Back when me and my friend jimmy were eight at the time there was a arcade opening up in our mall.

We always went there with our mothers begging them for money to play while they went shopping. They finally agreed and we went inside .

We were so fond of all the games they put along with a snack bar where all the teenagers ate pizza. We sometimes look at the prize area where they cost 100 tickets or less at that time.

11 years had passed and me and my friend were looking through college options on the computer. My friend found something on the internet saying that the arcade was closing down we realized they were putting up games for sale.

We looked through some games and we saw a arcade game called "CarnEvil" we ended up going to the mall and buying it.

The arcade owner told us to beware of the game as he told us a story about when he was closing along with two other people . One of them was turning off every single game. All of them were completely off but when it came to locking the door they heard that one arcade game. So he ordered one of his employees to turn it off. By the time 10 minutes had passed he hasn't heard back from his employee or seen him since that night.

So me and my friend ignored his warning and ended up buying the game anyway since we grew up playing it. We took it to my house and hooked it up in my garage. I lived alone at that time. Me and my friend played it for hours until it reached 9:30 pm.

Jimmy told me he had to go home already and went straight to his car and drove off. Leaving me alone with the game. I turned it off by that completely off.

I went into my house and up to my room where I slept. By the time it reached midnight that's when strange things started happening. I heard noises from the arcade machine and I always ignored it since its been one day.

It kept on getting louder and louder so i got up and quickly went to the garage surprisingly the game was off I even checked the plug and it was unplugged which was weird.

When I was halfway up the stairs I heard it again I quickly called my friend about it and he told me he'll come at 9 am. I went to the bathroom to see if I was alright and unexpectedly I saw a ghost of a young guy that had a uniform of seems like a arcade employee. I rubbed my eyes and next thing I knew he was gone.

The house shook violently and I heard all the plates shattering from the kitchen. I saw a message on my mirror saying "beware the arcade game".

The next morning my friend came and we ended up selling the arcade game for $800 on eBay. Thankfully this person bought it for 1200$

That was the last time I bought a arcade game. And suddenly I received a message from an unknown number I opened it and I was shocked I saw a picture of what seems like a person hanging in the middle of a large room I instantly zoomed in and saw the same exact person I saw in the restroom there was a message saying "thanks for playing. Your next."
