Meanwhile, Harry Potter managed to untie himself from the firehouse wheel and walked home.

"I hope Pac Man is ok. It's probably just a small kitchen fire," he thought as his cloak and

paisely pants dried in the fall sunlight. Upon arriving home there was a mysterious letter

addressed to him in his mailbox.

"Dear Harry Potter,

My name is CatScraps and I was the current author of the popular Pac Man vs The Hippo blog series on

AtariAge.com. By the time you read this letter I will have committed suicide. The blog is

insanely popular and I have all the fame and power in the world, yet my drug abuse has gotten

to the point where I no long feel anything in life. But enough about me.

You have been chosen to continue the story. The author before me committed suicide and I

received a similar letter and continued the story until it was time for my own suicide.

This does NOT mean that you must commit suicide, though you are certainly encouraged to.

Do your best. One stipulation is that YOU MUST begin by telling the AtariAge community that

you are my mom. It is important that no one knows the true author of the story. Have fun

with it, think about your own suicide, and you'll be a big hit.

Here is the login information:

Username: CatScraps

Password: xxxxxxxxxxx

Your Pal,

CatScraps"

Harry thought about it for a while and decided that the story was more important to the

AtariAge community than his life was. He then made a secret pact with the authors before him.

The pact was sealed with a drop of blood onto a pentagram that he drew in chalk on his kitchen

floor. This meant that he would commit suicide when he felt it was time.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Harry logged into AtariAge.com and posted 'Pac Man vs The Hippo pt 16'.

Little did he know that the story he agreed to author was the very story of his life!
