I Paused My Game.to Be Here Novels & Stories

I moved away, smiling at him sheepishly. “Sorry...” I stated. He avoided my eyes before he averted it back to his computer. He continued the paused game before yawning, and I grabbed that as an excuse that I need to go home right now. “Hey, I think you’re already tired. I’m gonna head home right now,” I stated. He turned his gaze upon me, looking like he doesn’t want me to go yet. But I knew he couldn’t say anything right after those weird moments happened earlier.

the man again sat in his place calmly and said "let it be we got a pawn to play game let's see the next move" the another bowed and went off from there by locking the door

Go home and wait for me. The screen went dark.

And as the screen went black, I knew one thing for certain: the real game was about to begin. ---

It sounded as if he had been waiting for the moment I opened my eyes. The question was a mockery and I pushed myself upright, my stomach twisting, as I rasped, “Why am I here?” His eyes gleamed. “Because you’re ready for the next game.” I froze. “No.” I was tired of his games. Done with them all. But he didn't think of it that way.

Not now. To be continued...

"I'm in the middle of a game. Just do your thing for now and stop bothering me." Right after he finished speaking, the rhythmic beeping of a disconnected tone could be heard. The woman blinked in confusion, momentarily at a loss for words. Then, Giselle said, "What game is he playing? Send me his player ID."

Another reason I need my phone. I project the idea of wiggling until my toes get the idea and obey. Slowly, my locomotive functions kick in but with it comes another realization, the beast is stirring. I stand and take in my room. Apparently, I'd blacked out and the beast'd taken over, destroying everything, furniture and all. The bed was the only thing left untouched. I walk to my phone to find the screen split in different directions but it still works. 7:21 pm ****** I head downstairs, opting to call Junnev but stop when I remember he has a game tonight. Their first game of the season.

A pause. “I finish them.”

I paused. I stepped back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
