Adventures In Virtual Africa(Twilight Challenge)

It was a long, hard day in the desert of Africa. Or, so I liked to think. I mean sure, maybe I wasn’t actually there, but those man eating gazelles can be pretty hard to kill when you have a beat-up keyboard like mine. And those small, almost invisible swarms of mosquitoes can be quite hard to see with my old Gateway monitor. But nonetheless, I battle it out.

My only saving grace – Audrina. She has made it all the way up to the lion position, where I am but a mere baby zebra. It’s basically like being a lamb. A dumb, useless, lamb. Audrina is my partner in the game (Adventures in Virtual Africa) and my girlfriend in real life. She always makes fun of me for being below her, but today I will catch up. Just you wait.

After my lunch, I signed on to my computer. After about an hour of playing, I had been demoted to a gnat. I mean a gnat for crying out loud! What was I doing!
Just before I signed off to go wallow in my misery, she had to rub it in: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.

    I love how inept the narrator is at the game, tries valiantly anyway, and how the girlfriend just has to rub it in that she’s better. Cruel but funny: the lion fell in love with the lamb.
