I couldn’t believe my roommate Ken found the old gaming system in the trash. I don’t think either of us played since we were kids. I don’t know how Ken got the thing hooked up to our TV, but once he did, the entire room felt like it was in a grainy haze. He selected his character, Chun Li -- I joked that he should pick Ken, but he brushed it off. I picked Blanka and then went to go get a beer from the kitchen as it loaded.
I was shocked when I returned to see Ken sitting on the floor looking exactly like Chun Li.
“Think you can keep up with me?” Ken asked as he offered me the other remote.
I took a step back, making sure the wire wouldn’t reach me. That thing had turned him into Chun Li, I sure wasn’t going to let it turn me into Blanka!
“Come on!” Ken asked again, “Want to see my kung-fu? I’ll show you!”
My only thought was to unplug the whole thing. Once I did, the grainy haze faded. However, Ken was still sitting there in Chun Li’s body. But as he mind escaped from the haze as well, he immediately started freaking out about that.
