Don't Stop Believing, Alice Edition.

  

It's 2:13 am on a Thursday, and the only reason I know this is because I received a text message at this minute. I read it, but neglect to reply as I'm incredibly busy right now. Caramel apple lollipops strewn along my side, half-eaten pastrami sandwich lying on a petite alphabet napkin, and large tumbler cups with sips of green tea missing. I'm wearing my combat gear, my full onesie piece with the bottom flap, tonight I'm conquering the world. I've got my blood-laden vorpal blade, and I'm going to practice my julienne skills on the insidious ruins, then immediately rip out my hobby horse and smash the exoskeleton out of  mutant smoking crabs.   

  

When the ferocious crab blows a fireball at me, I jump along to the left side along with my character. I lean in while attacking with my frost pink PlayStation 3 controller. I scream in delight when the beast rolls over and croaks, I sprint around and scoop up all of the valuables. I take two steps forward and before I can do a full fist pump the ground begins to rumble, and the rapture begins. Gasp! Boss Battle! I press pause immediately and whisper "oh, snap." I stand up take a bite of my sandwich and chew it feverishly then wash it down with a gulp of purified green tea. I reposition my monitor, roll my shoulders, stretch my fingers out, grasp the controller firmly again.

     It's go time!

 

 

 

 I whip out the pepper grinder to disorientate, then go for a full out melee attack with my vorpal blade, then before dodging out, round it out with a good pounding out. Thanks, hobby horse. This large broken doll baby is extremely agile, yet surprising to be a newborn. I walk into doll's attacks a few times, I'm just being careless. It's definitely costing me as my blood is dripping from the roses, and she seems to be outlasting me. Pause. Deep breathe. Unpause. Come at me bro! Pepper grinder, then slashing heads of the colossal with my vorpal blade, immediately smashing, bashing then repeating. I stand back for half a second and he crumbles in to my riches. I let out a fuck yeah accompanied with a hard fist pump. I just killed one of the greats all because I didn't stop believing when Journey told me not to.
