  In The Sky

  I just had to imagine it. Raise the blade. There we go, raise it. A little closer. A little closer. Inches away now. Keep going. Closer, closer. I can hear his heart beating. Closer. Stop. Now, just… just drag the blade across his throat. Quick! Do it! I said do it! Hell Daniel! Just hell! Do it D...

  Journey on PS3

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  I like to think I've stood up for video games. I've told disbelieving friends that video games are interactive storytelling. I've told skeptical students that video games have plot. I've told my mom video games have impact. Now, I don't have to say any of that, not a word. I...

  Ten Seconds to Forgotten

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  People have no problem forgetting. Events can be overlooked, actions reasoned with, whole memories: discarded. People can forget about sadness, people can forget about that animal part of themselves, people can forget about themselves. Yes, people can forget, and people can forgive. But what of the...

  Amnesia: The Dark Descent

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  I was very embarrassed when I gave my first yelp of terror playing “Amnesia: The Dark Descent.” It was the middle of the day and I was at my desk with headphones on, but for all I knew I was in the prison block of a castle, cautiously opening a door. Suddenly something emitted a hideous growl an...

  The Dark Hour

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  There is a dark hour. A moment in man’s story when he is lost. A moment in my story… when I must weep. All schemed. There is no changing my story, but I may tell it. And you may listen. There is always a dark hour. My eyes are dry. Some defense in my body has postponed my tears, for s...

  The Piano of Rehgale

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  If you’ve ever traveled to the ignorance-soaked town of Rehgale, and met its gray-eyed people drowning in an acute isolation, you’ve probably heard of me. I bet you wandered the streets, stumbled over unknown and uneven terrain. The bar was probably your first stop, but I bet you found no comfor...

  At the Mountains of Madness by H. P. Lovecraft

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  Anyone who knows me… probably knows that I am and never have been one for much Literature. I could talk about how I just don’t find most books that exciting, or how (I admit) I’ve never read a piece of literature outside of the school curriculum. That is, until this Summer, when I came across,...

  Fishies

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  “Come on, little fishies.” Whistled my customer, as his unstable blue eyes probed the waters. “Come on now.” My cheeks were rubber in the bitter cold. The wind slapped them repeatedly, knocking me into the railing of the drifting boat. The icy waters splashed against the sides, and my e...

  Adrenaline

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  “Do I look crazy to you!?” We give this more thought then the question has intended. Let’s see… Kyle has his hair in a normal fashion: sharply slicked back, with a few crazy dyes here and there that provide contrast to the plain walls of the room. Reds and blues and even a little green br...

  The Find

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  He looked curiously across the flat landscape with dreams of finding something marvelous, and his thought surmounted to a question: “What happened?” Sans Nomerick’s face displayed genuine bafflement as his walk built to an almost glide across the sediment. What happened indeed, he ventured. In...

  The 2-Hour Clock

  

  By Super_Mario_Prose, Landenberg, PA

  Finally the news reaches Seattle; the end is in 2 hours. 1 Hour, 59 Minutes Neighbors say 120 minutes, Anchors say 7200 seconds, but it is all the same spectrum of time, no need to dramatize it. The end is the end, and 2 hours are 2 hours. The end is near, that’s for sure. Anyo...
