RPD Nightmare

 


RPD Nightmare


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears. I see I'm in my bedroom.

It's the weekend. I've got nothing important to do.

So I set up my new gaming laptop. I grin.

I go online and find a Resident Evil website.

Someone created a fan-made Resident Evil 2.

I download the modification and try it out.

I play Leon, and I'm stuck in the RPD station.

I avoid zombies and other monsters in my way.

The puzzles are incomprehensible; I'm stumped.

Mr. X punches me in the face. I go on danger.

My phone alarm goes off, and I quickly wake up.

Sinister Tales

 


Sinister Tales


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears. I see I am in my room.

It is not unusual for me to be in my room.

Yet, I do not have any work to do right now.

So I turn on the old television set to relax.

Sinister Tales is airing now; it’s an old TV show.

The episode I'm watching is incredibly creepy.

An elderly lady is eating some creepy crawlies.

The lady claims she does it to remain young.

I actually feel sick after watching the show.

My phone goes off, and I quickly wake up.

Sonic R Revival

 


Sonic R Revival


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears. I am in my bedroom.

It’s not unusual that I am in my bedroom.

I’m bored. I have nothing to do right now.

So, I decide to play some video games.

I find out about a new Sonic R remaster.

Curious, I download this free remaster.

I load the game, and I am impressed.

The character models look much better.

The music quality for the game is great.

I am having tons of fun in the game.

I wind up beating every single course.

My phone’s alarm soon wakes me up.

School Out-takes

 


School Out-takes


By Craig Wilson


The smoke has cleared, and I’m in a meeting room.

However, I see that there are other people in here.

The other people are my former classmates.

We watch the final school year on a large screen.

I am reminded that our school experience was fake.

That's odd, because my school life felt real to me.

I see a lot of footage of me botching my lines.

I don't remember seeing any of this. I am baffled.

Heck, there’s footage of me taking breaks.

My phone alarm goes off, and I leave this dream.

School-Break Coffee Time

 


School-Break Coffee Time

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke dissipates and I end up in my old school.

I say old loosely as the school now looks futuristic.

I walk around the main hall, and I find a public café.

I soon get served, and I buy myself a few things.

I buy myself a chocolate doughnut, and an iced latte.

Carefully, I find a free table, and I sit myself down.

I take a bite of the chocolate doughnut and it’s divine.

What’s odd is that I can really taste the chocolate.

My alarm goes off and I soon leave this dream world.

Graduation Error

 


Graduation Error

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke dissipates and I am in secondary school.

I am in an English room with my fellow students.

The biggest paradox is we’re all our current ages.

I question as to whether or not we have graduated.

Naturally, the other students look at me quite baffled.

There is a weird flux in time and everything changes.

We’re no longer adults – we resemble kids once again.

Nevertheless, I am the only one that’s actually noticed.

I feel tense that I have to graduate school all over again.

My phone’s alarm goes off, and I abruptly leave the dream.

Sweet Treats

 


Sweet Treats

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke clears and I find myself back in school.

However, the school looks modern and old, too.

I take a good look at myself, and I am a kid again.

Heck, this was before I had actually hit puberty.

I do not recognise any of the students in my class.

Also, I do not recognise the man who’s teaching us.

I look around and realise I am in a cooking class.

The teacher tasks us with making some sweets.

So, I get my equipment and ingredients ready.

I prepare the treats and they turn out pretty fine.

My phone’s alarm goes off and I soon wake up.

Subtitle Fail

 


Subtitle Fail

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke clears and I find myself in my bedroom.

However, I do not recall ever going to my room.

I notice on the calendar that it’s now the weekend.

There are no obligations so I decided to unwind.

I cannot think of a single game that I want to play.

I suddenly have the urge to watch a foreign film.

So, I search through my collection of old DVDs.

I find an Asian movie I haven’t watched in ages.

I pop the DVD in the DVD player and I get ready.

However, I’ve to mess around with the subtitles.

My dream suddenly ends – my phone’s alarm wails.

Majora's Mask Hack

 


Majora's Mask Hack

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke clears and I survey my surroundings.

All of a sudden I find myself sitting in my room.

My N64 is on, and I am playing Majora’s Mask.

I have no memory of setting up my old console.

Thus, instead of beginning a new file, I continue.

I run around the Clock Town at my own pace.

Suddenly, I bump into my little buddy, Saria.

I realise that this isn’t any ordinary copy I’m on.

There are more assets from Ocarina of Time.

I take my time noticing the many differences.

Sadly, my alarm goes off and I soon wake up.

The Final Grade

 


The Final Grade

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke clears and I find myself walking to school.

I don’t recall why I have to go to school at this point.

One of my friends runs and they soon catch up to me.

My friend reminds me that I need to get my final grade.

So, my friend and I hurry to school so we’re not late.

We arrive at the school and enter the main building.

My friend and I enter the assembly hall and take a seat.

Time flows quickly and I soon realise I have finished.

The examiner says I’ve barely passed and I can graduate.

However, my alarm goes off and I soon leave this dream.

A Rare Documentary

 


A Rare Documentary

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke clears and I find myself in my home.

My folks and I are hanging out in the living room.

Thankfully, it’s the weekend and I can now relax.

It’s raining outside and we don’t need to go out.

My folks and I are watching a documentary on TV.

There’s a documentary about the game company Rare.

The documentary is brand new and almost an hour long.

There’s a big grin on my face and I feel like a big kid.

We’re up to the part where it showcases Banjo-Kazooie.

Sadly, my phone’s alarm goes off and I wake up ASAP.

Turok 2 Modification



Turok 2 Modification

 

By Craig Wilson

 

The smoke dissipates and I end up in my room.

I’m sitting on my bed, playing on my game laptop.

Presently, I’m checking out a fan mod of Turok 2.

The mod makes the graphics look a lot more modern.

There’s more blood and gore and the lighting is great.

The music quality is a vast improvement in the mod.

The current level I am playing is the River of Souls.

My childhood memory guides me through the entire level.

I feel like a big kid and I cannot control my wide smile.

Sadly, my phone’s alarm abruptly ends this great dream.

Donkey Difficulty Hack



Donkey Difficulty Hack

 

By Craig Wilson

 

I am sitting in my room and I am playing some video games.

It has been a long day and I really want to chill out right now.

I am checking out a really hard Donkey Kong Country Rom.

The hack has made Donkey Kong Country quite impossible.

The bonus zones are much harder and much more merciless.

Also, the bosses are so bloody annoying that I keep dying.

I rage as I play the game and I regret playing this hard hack.

I finally turn off the game, but then I end up leaving the dream.

Biohazard Evacuation



Biohazard Evacuation

 

By Craig Wilson

 

 

I’m playing a really amazing fan-made Resident Evil game.

The game’s like an old-school Resident Evil which is ace.

It’s based in Raccoon City, during the events of Nemesis.

However, this is from the viewpoint of some civilians.

There’s an epic truck sequence that is an FMV sequence.

Sadly, I’m stuck in a bit where there are tons of zombies.

After I beat the enemies, I enter an abandoned facility.

Unfortunately, I get ambushed by two green hunters.

When I get an infamous game over the dream ends.

Retro Treasure Trove



Retro Treasure Trove

 

By Craig Wilson

 

 

 

My dad and I are in a retro gaming store that’s brand new.

Inside, we find numerous interesting gaming treasures.

My dad considers buying a Game Boy and also Tetris.

I am tempted to buy numerous retro video games.

I manage to find loads of classics from my boyhood.

However, I check my budget, and it’s not in the cards.

My father even finds some Dragon64 games for sale.

He wants to buy as many games as he possibly can.

I feel happy for my father that he’s found his prize.

Sadly, our trip to the shop is cut short by my alarm.

Back to the Holiday



Back to the Holiday

 

By Craig Wilson

 

 

I wake up in a soft bed, and realise it isn’t my own.

I sit upright and look at myself in a nearby mirror.

I'm not a grown-up anymore; I realise I'm a kid.

I leave the shared bedroom and enter the main area.

Instead of being in England, I find myself in Spain.

Somehow, I have gone back in time to a better time.

My folks smile and greet me on this fine morning.

All of us make plans to head out to the local bakery.

Sadly, my phone’s alarm brings me back to reality.

Fatal Frame VR



Fatal Frame VR

 

By Craig Wilson

 

 

 

I’m playing a brand new VR Fatal Frame game.

It feels like I’m actually in an old mansion.

A ghostly woman comes near me and I yell.

I use up some of the camera film to defeat her.

The ghostly woman vanishes with a ghostly wail.

I take off my VR headset to have a brief break.

However, when I do, I somehow wake up in bed.

Hacked Mayhem



Hacked Mayhem

 

By Craig Wilson

 

 

 

I’m playing a hacked version of Mayhem in Monster Land.

This version has save states and even a health meter.

And the hackers have added synthesisers to the music.

I am actually able to beat this version in one sitting.

I go off the hacked version, and I play the original.

Of course, I die a lot and even fail to reach the last level.

I decide to exit the game, and I also exit the dream, too.

After School Hang Out



After School Hang Out

By Craig Wilson



I somehow leapt back into my old teen self.
A friend and I are hanging out after school.
The both of us get into a debate about anime.
I explain as to why I really love Black Butler.
He, on the other hand, prefers the show Bleach.
I smile because I’m reliving the good old days.
Sadly, my phone’s alarm goes off and I wake up.
