@Reece: Come and find it here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/14678132...

I'll serve up the first few paragraphs of my story Red Rain. Everyone seems to like them, so...

"My dreams are never normal. In fact, one might say they're oddly specific in their weirdness. It only fits, I guess, because God knows my upbringing hasn’t exactly been what you might call ordinary. Why else would I dream about playing a nonexistent Pac-Man video game? And not a very nice one, either.

First, I have to navigate the little yellow dude through an intensely complicated maze. Then, when I've gotten him to eat every pellet, I have to get my character to the far corner, where a chain of pellets waits to fly him to safety, and past a number of multicolored bare trees surrounded by blackness.

Unfortunately, as soon as he lands on a little seaside dock in broad daylight, Pac-Man is swarmed by these green-and-purple things, like land-based sea urchins, and with creepy puppet-like smiles fixed on their faces, they drag him to a big bucket of water and hold his head under until I hear the "sorry, you're dead!" sound effect, in perfect sync with the ringing of my alarm clock.

The worst part is, the whole thing is viewed as if the camera were at the bottom of the bucket, looking straight up for the most up-close-and-personal view possible as Pac-Man writhes around, struggling in vain to free himself from these...things.

I think it's perfectly clear why this game doesn't exist in real life."

Hey peoples! Name's Ricky, and I wasn't gonna join (Reece kept throwing invites at me every day), but then I found you guys had a Creative Writing thread, so now I pretty much had to come here.
