Nation of Gamers

“Max, are you awake?”

“Eh?”

“I said, MAX, ARE YOU AWAKE?”

“Oh fer cryin’ out loud woman, I’m old and hard a’ hearing, but I ain’t deaf!”

“Do you remember when we were twenty-five…”

“I can’t even remember what I had fer breakfast this morning.”

“You had cyber-oats.”

“Ding dang ol’ cyber-oats. Whatsamatter with oatmeal? Kids these days too good for oatmeal?”

“You remember when we were twenty-five, there was this game we used to play. What was it called?”

“Eh, you gotta give me more than that, Helen.”

“You know, you were a little guy, and you ran around…”

“Oh yeah… what was that called again?”

“There were bad guys, and you killed them.”

“I remember the one. You had a sword…”

“More than one, dear.”

“Yeah, but there was this one… I think the game was named after it. Why do you want to know, anyway?”

“Well, it’s our ninety-third wedding anniversary this Thursday, and I thought we might play it again, for old time’s sake.”

“I never liked that game.”

“I know, but what was it called?”
