He pointed at her window. "There is a gaming centre down that road. In college, I loved to come over and play a game or ten with my friends." "What kind of games." "RPG." "Are you any good?"

Ryan asked, cracking open a soda can. Anna grinned, holding up the book. “How about we try The Reflection Game?” Sophia’s brows furrowed. “Isn’t that the one where people supposedly disappear or go crazy?” “Exactly,” Anna replied. “It’ll be fun.” Mia rolled her eyes. “Or terrifying.” Logan clapped his hands together. “I’m in.

Then, he returned to his apartment. … After School, Summer's newly launched horror game, reached two million registered users within just 12 hours of release.
