What do you think of my short story?
Prologue
Transcript from the Gaming Awards 2008 broadcast on April 21, 2009.
Host: And, the moment we've all been waiting for, the award for Game of the Year. The nominees are Chart Wars: Rise to Stardom, Carbiz Megacorp, Memphis Drive, and Imp! The Winner Is…….. Imp!
The developer of Imp, Lucy Beetle walks on stage, grabs the award, and begins her thank you speech about how she believes that the game will influence people long after her death. Suddenly she clutches her chest, falls over, writhes in pain, and stops moving. The host screams for help and someone comes to tend to Lucy. He checks her pulse and proclaims sadly that Lucy Beetle has died.
Chapter One
Detective Mullin rewound the tape so as to find some clue to all the craziness of the past week. With the canceling of the Super Bowl due to half the players and coaches skipping out on the match of the year to play some stupid video game and the President resigning since being the most powerful man in the world cuts in on his power leveling, 2/3 of the world has been abuzz with talk. The other third had been playing their copies of Imp.
He decided to focus on Beetle's speech. He had already watched it hundreds of times but he thought once more couldn't hurt. Again he heard about how the influence of the game will continue after death
or whatever. Wait, had he heard what he thought he heard? "Oh my god", he said "That's it!" He ran screaming to the Acting President's office. He was chosen by the AP because he had previously helped him out of a tight jam. "I've found it. Mrs. Beetles did something to her game that would trigger when she died," Mullin said out of breath. "But what did she do" replied the president. "No Idea!"
