LJ Idol Week 3: In Another Castle

[seakittym]

Pupils dilate. Breaths are short and shallow. Mouth is dry.

Heart racing. Palpitating. Getting closer now.

The cold sweat of my brow is dangerously close to my eyes. Stinging. I must give all my attention to this one task. I can't lose now. I've come too far.

Heart pounding. Faster. My mind scurries. I struggle to stay on duty. Should I give up? No. I've come so far.

I'm here. Fighting for my life. Hammers fly. Fireballs whip past. I focus. I dodge. I jump.

Jaw clenched. Extremities numbed. Can I get through this? I think back on times before. I wonder how much more I can endure.

I've defeated the beast. I'll get what I've come for!

Your princess is in another castle.

Damn it.

What new Hell awaits beyond the pipe?

OMG YES, bahahah. I did in fact beat that game. Once. In my entire life. I can't even play it anymore, it's so much harder than I remember it being.

I played The Lost Levels and it was pretty much an experiment in how much teeth grinding my enamel could take. Couldn't do it without save-states.
