I said something. Not sure what. :)

I have looked through all the things in this castle over and over. To be able to go to the next level... to get my ticket.. I have to find the box.

Inside it is the Heart of Happiness... which I need to be the champion.

From the first level, where I hatched from my little egg and ran away from the hungry Manticore through The Tangled Forest to the sixth level, where I currently sit, frustrated, it’s been an astounding journey.

Level two was full of hungry plants, thankfully deeply rooted. After I died so many times, I learned to jump very high.

Level three had angry hornets. I learned to burrow. To hide. To wait for just the right time to run.

Level four had earthquakes. Huge cracks opened in the ground before me. I learned to time my steps and leap at the right moment. I only died eleven times in that level.

All the carnivorous plants from level two came back with friends in level five. I dodged teeth and slashing tentacles and flaming breath to reach the platform to level six.

I climbed into the machine and rode the elevator bubbles to the castle in the clouds.

I’ve been here in the castle so long, making no progress. I know the box has to be in one of the rooms I’ve already explored. I have the pieces of the puzzles from each conquered level, and I’ve tried to put them together in the puzzle room, but none of them seem to match.

DAMMIT! The kids are getting out of bed, I hear them! I will have to turn the game off before they catch me playing and tease me all day long.

I wish I’d never coined the term Vidiot game... I wish I’d just played along with them and had fun with it.

Now I must hide my addiction.

Curses!
