I fixed it some more.

I went to my local Best Buy, with my switch. I was finally getting Splatoon 2! I was unable to get Splatoon 1, because I didn't have a Wii U... but thank god for a sequel. I skimmed around the store, looking for the game. I didn't see it. I was in the games aisle, with all the Nintendo Switch games...

I looked around for more. I still hadn't found it. I asked a salesman walking around and shelving some games that were delivered where it could be.

"Excuse me Sir, do you have Splatoon 2 here?" He had absolutely no clue what I was talking about...

"I'm sorry, what now? I have no idea what that is." (Delete one of these lines.)

I was getting pretty confused now. ''He should know where it is! Maybe they were sold out in the store...? No way, that can't be! They had got a new delivery!'' (Maybe you should put this into quotation marks and say the character thought this.)

"Maybe you can check for it in the boxes of games?" He reached into the boxes, looking for what I wanted.

"Sorry...I got nothing." I became upset, and skimmed through the aisles again. In the very back of one of them, was Splatoon 2. It was dusty, and there was only one, but it was untouched, not even tampered with. There was no bar tag though, no price tag, nothing..."Maybe I should ask the cashiers?"

The cashiers, also had no idea what I was doing or talking about. "Sir, I apologize but we don't sell that game here..." She looked it up on the computer, asks some of the people working there and they also have the same answer..."Since it doesn't have a price tag on it, you can have it for free. We shouldn't charge you if we don't know how much it even costs..."

(The story is pretty interesting by this point. You've created a world in which no one seems to know a popular game even when they should. I hope you expand on this world.)

When I went home, I opened my laptop first and searched up Splatoon 2. No results came up...I just assumed my internet was messed up. ''Does it... not exist? No, it has to! I have the game, I saw the results yesterday...'' (Thought bubble again.)

I popped in the game into my switch and immediately started playing the game. It was normal, with the intro and the tutorial and all that. I decided, it would be smart to start with single player...I'm not even a splatoon veteran.

So I walked on over to Marie, and shocked she jumps back into the little grate. But, when I entered It didn't formally do a cutscene or anything! I just immediately jumped into the first level. I got used to the controls, but I still was pretty bad...

I splatted the first enemy, but something was different. The head popped off of it's head, and Red ink was spewing everywhere...well, it looked like ink, but we all know what it is. For a moment I stood staring at the corpse in surprise. "Maybe I got a joke game?"

People think Nintendo is for kids. They probably wanted to make it more violent. I just continued, with every single enemy I splatted-no, killed-having more gruesome ones then the last. They progressively got harder and harder until I couldn't do anything anymore.

I eventually got a game over, and finally a cutscene happened, but it was after that I knew someone was insane. I see the squid sisters, huddling together, shaking and crying as octarians closed in on them. "What the hell?" I exclaimed.

They started ripping them apart, dissecting them, eating them, ripping out their insides. I tried to turn off the game and it didn't work. In a fit of rage, I threw out my game. It was getting late, so, I decided to go to sleep...

The next morning...

I saw my switch back in my dock again. Why!? I grabbed it...it seemed to have turned off, finally. When I turned on the game, the only words I see are 'Red Ink.'

I continuously pressed A. After a few seconds... I saw something else. "Oh, no. Haven't you made a terrible mistake?"

What happened? I never... I looked it up again, over and over... but... maybe, it didn't exist after all.
