Mail Game

My family and I were a city, not a big one, more like a medium sized one and were passing by this large maze shaped thing. The entrance to it was like an entrance to a rollercoaster while the exit was a game on a board with poppers. The whole thing was a dark rusty color and had dead roaches and other insects on it wit dust/dirt coating the whole thing. It was so familiar I didn't understand why though or how. Until my mom asked if I remembered it, she said that it was the old game I used to play at my Aunt's house.

And as if that was the magic word, my aunt walked out from behind the thing and greeted us. Not sure why I thought she was my aunt, she didn't like any of m aunts (at least not like any of the ones I've met or seen pictures of). She was in either her late twenties or early thirties, her hair was dark brown and reached down to her shoulders all wavy. She even seemed nicer than most I've met too.

She also talked about how I would play this game, and even asked if I wanted to play. Curious as to what made the game so fun or what it was about I nodded. My aunt pointed to the entrance and told me that's where I start. I ran over and entered through the wooden archway.

Inside it was like a huge little neighborhood and the game was you were a mail truck, delivering mail throughout the town but you had to do so on time. There was many obstacles. I got to the halfway point and stopped to just look around, it seemed bigger now. I walked over to a shelf that closely resembled a tree. A bright blue bird hopped around on it, I raised my hand and set it in front of the bird. At first the bird did nothing but chirp but soon hopped onto my finger; I smiled. I've never held a bird before and this one was so cute! It was just a ball of fluff with a tiny beak and legs.
Sadly it flew away at a strange sound, I frowned and ducked under the branches and walked back into the open. I walked the rest of the way to the end where the popper game was at the exit. It sorta grossed me out since in some of the slots on the table were dead roaches, though the others did have poppers, it didn't help.

When I left the game a tall man in a dark blue suit approached my aunt and offered to buy the game from her. She glared at him and refused, it appeared this man had tried this before and my aunt was not happy to see him. They spoke back and fourth for a bit, I didn't quite catch what all they said, but I remember hearing my aunt say.

"I put new books in there for the kids...."

And other stuff on how she replaced old stuff in the game with new. She pointed to the entrance where two kids came out to wave at them. Then when my Aunt looked back at the business man she said one other thing and marched up the hill in anger to her mansion. The last we saw of her was when she slammed the front door shut behind her. I just watched in silence, unsure if I should do something or not.

The business man looked at the kids in the entrance and at me, then he perked up. "that's it! we can make a 'mail city' game!" and with that he ran to the mansion.

Shadow Star

Wires shot out of a large 8 pointed star and either wrapped around or attached to Shadow, yanking him to the machine. Shadow yanked one arm free, breaking the wire and did the same with his other arm. So at first it seemed like he was the one being attacked but since I was powerless I just stood by the car and watched. But then the next thing I knew Shadow was the one controling the starbot. Now the star was black like him with streaks of red on the points. He began the destruction of the village.

I ran off to warn people, so I went to the most populated place in a nearby running distance...the mall. When I got there I tried to warn people or maybe get help, but nobody was listening to me. Everybody was just talking amongst each other and shopping for overpriced stuff as usual.

When I spotted my friends I thought for sure they would listen to me, but when I tried to tell them they wouldn't listen either. I walked alongside them trying to tell them for twenty minutes, but all they talked about was the clothes here. I rolled my eyes and told them I get the same clothes over half the price less than the clothes here. Though I must admit I got a little side tracked when we passed a cute strapless black dress that was sparkly on the top and just solid black on the bottom.

When the dress was out of sight I tried again once to tell them but gave up and ran off. If nobody was gonna listen to me I was gonna have to stop Shadow myself! But then I ran into one of my friend's mom and talked to her at the other end of the mall. Again, just talk about clothes at the mall and the prices.

I was getting annoyed with this and cut the conversation short by running from her, trying to get outside so I could somehow stop Shadow from destroying the place!
