My husband is no longer the man I married.

I don’t blame those who stare; a grown man playing with My Little Pony in public – it’s weird isn’t it?
I can’t take it away from him though; it’d cause a huge scene, a screaming fit.

Jake and I met at a traditional gaming convention; love blossomed during Operation – how ironic.
Jake got hooked on Call of Duty; he became a computer game convert.

I missed our old games.
“Jake, let’s play our old favourite – please,” I asked.
“OK, fetch the mule,” he said, pulling himself away from Mortal Kombat.
Saddle loaded: he carefully placed the bucket, his face close, closer still – trigger snapped – Buckaroo!
The plastic shovel shot into his eye, severing the thalamo-cortical nerve in his frontal lobe. Even the neurosurgeon winced.
......
Now, he bawls like a baby when I take his toys away.
