gamez: night in the woods

I'm not exactly a "gamer" (chz) and only I've only dabbled in the hobby recently (thanks lucas!!). My experience has been great with several, the first video games I finished being The Red Strings Club and Minit– anyway, that's for another post. Over the course of the past month, I played and finished Night in the Woods and boy, oh boy, was it fantastic.

          There’s this superstition that if you have twelve different fruits on your dinner table by the time it’s the New Year, you will have good luck. This year, we have six. I watch my mom arrange the cherries over the apples and pomelos. I ask, “How many do we have?”

“Six. It’s okay, we never finish them anyway,” she chuckled.

          New Year’s this year will come with no preparation. I haven’t whipped up resolutions or taken up my usual cycle of gratefulness– there are no letters, messages in the inboxes of my friends. I woke up this afternoon with all the lights in the house turned off, the gentle pitter patter of rain outside gradually getting louder. I’ve had a fever for the past three days, I’m still looking for the good to come out of it– it’s what I’ve been trying to do with most things.
