{ Hey! I'm not dead! Well, not on the outside anyway :v I've been sooo busy lately with drawing and making other written stories that I completely forgot Wattpad even existed. But fear not reader! I am 100% not dead, and I will be continuing this story! I'm not sure how long the chapters will take but I'm gonna try my best to update it. I still can't believe it got so many reads. Like dang. But anyway! Enough about meh. Enjoy the story! }

Some aspects of this story to take into account:
- Bea now works at the Video Outpost Too. I know. It's a random change to the story of NITW.
- Each of the characters will have different content in each chapter! So you can read the others if you wanted to, and I actually encourage it. But if you want to just experience the story with one character, you can read those chapters first until the story is finished. Each character has a different conflict and theme. Anyway, enjoy the story!

You sit on your rickety bed in your new home and think about what you will do next. You spend some time staring at the various, now organised items surrounding you until one particular item catches your eye. You look over to the side of your bed, which is naturally more untidy than the rest of the room, and notice a cassette tape amidst some empty chip (crisps) packets.

You pick up the dusty cassette tape and turn it to look at the label on the front of the cassette tape:

{ A Game of Cat and Mouse }

This was a movie that you had watched back when cassette tapes were still a relevant medium of video storage. Just holding the tape fills you with nostalgia. The feeling of sliding the cassette tape into a VCR was just so satisfying, and having to reverse the entire tape was tedious but strangely you miss that feeling. This gives you an idea.

You remember that there was a small video rental store in Possum Springs that is hiring, and even if you don't get the job, it would be a cool place to visit.

You jump up from your bed and get ready for your visit to the store. You pick up some papers that you might need for the job application. Things like qualifications, your passport and other documents that are usually never needed until looking for a job.

With your educational documents in hand like some sort of sketchy looking teacher, you leave your home and walk towards the video rental store.

The cold brisk breeze of the wind rushes by and gives you a slight chill. You take a big breath in and exhale, feeling calm. As you are waking, you see the red leaves fall softly to the ground and crunch whenever someone walks on them. The crunching of leaves is such a satisfying sound. You remember all the times you used to purposely step on them to hear the loud crunch as a child.

Well, okay, maybe you still do that now.

You are walking by the step where Selmers usually sits but do not see her there. When you turn back towards the path you are walking on, you see a crowd of people hanging around a closed restaurant. You walk a little closer to see what is going on and notice that a lot of people, mainly older people, are chatting and arguing about different things.

One old goat was saying that the economy of Possum Springs is collapsing, another old beaver was complaining about his aging problem and a scrawny looking cat was protesting the closure of the restaurant. You don't overhear much, but you learn that this restaurant, called Pastabilities, had closed down due to some problems with the economy.

You continue on your way to the video store and find it after some walking. The shop doesn't look like anything special. Simply a small shack looking place with a brown neon sign that was barely lit up. The sign reads:
