The Video Game's Glitch
The screen flickers like it does when the grown-ups are fixing the TV. Sometimes I can see through the glitching, into the menu below. Today, the game freezes on a blue screen with a white “T” in the middle. It’s supposed to be a town where you can walk around and find things, but right now, nothing happens. I press the A button hoping it will start again, but instead, my character just stands there like a statue. The glitches make funny shapes on the sides of buildings, looking like wavy lines or tiny squares that pop in and out. They’re not as pretty as the real game is supposed to be when everything works.
