    They came to my house once. Once.

    I was balls deep in Lost Izalith and someone rang the doorbell. Of course I can’t pause the game, so I placed my character on a spot I thought he would be safe.

    While going down the stairs they rang a second time, must be urgent.

    I open the door.

    These two fucking fabric softener crusaders smile at me. One at the front, the other behind him. The first one asks if I “knew that Jesus loves me” and tries to hand me a brochure.

    I hear my characters dying screams faintly from upstairs.

    My eyes widen.

    The “You Died” sound can be heard.

    I don’t move. Just stare at him. He might have said something. I don’t know.

    After some time, I don’t remember how long I stood there, they went away.

    Their false god cost me my souls and humanities I could not retrieve. I will remember this. And so will they.
