cimorenethe castles of dr creep
my mom met wally in her dorm in college, in the elevator. there were 15 floors or something like that. after she and my dad were married (they met, naturally, at the science fiction club--my mom a senior and my dad beginning graduate school, but they're the same age and he's just precocious) they took an apartment in lawrence, kansas, and the three of them played boggle and scrabble with folding chairs and tables and drank tea from a red teapot that has a plant in it just now, and then my dad and wally played this video game in the middle of the night on the commodore 64, which is a year older than i am. my mom sat behind them (it's a two player game) shaking her head while dad and wally 'taunted the mummies,' which are incapable of going up and down ladders, but gravitate to living flesh anyway, so that you can run back and forth indefinitely on the level above them, and they'll lumber mindlessly after you. (just imagine the fun they had with the frankensteins and the ray guns.)
the first time i solved castle sylvania by myself, i was just about the coolest person on the planet.
