Escape From Monster Manor
Escape From Monster Manor is a video game that was released for the 3DO game console in 1993. It's a First-Person Shooter that was inspired by Wolfenstein 3D. I bought it at Walmart in 1995 for $30.00.
In this game, you must search for pieces of a magical Talisman to end a curse. You must shoot Grim Reapers, ghosts, spiders, floating heads, etc. You must also search for keys to unlock doors. When you get wounded, your hand starts getting bloody. When it gets extremely bloody, you die.
I'm sorry to have to say it, but this game isn't very good. It only has twelve levels...

A Broken Friendship
When it comes to forgiveness, you won't forgive, you won't budge.
You truly hate my guts and you sure do know how to hold a grudge.
I did you wrong but you did me wrong too.
But forgiving me is something you won't do.
I'll admit that I made mistakes but when it comes to admitting yours, you won't.
I wanted to make up with you but after seeing how much you hate me, I don't.
If there's ever a grudge holding contest, I know that you'll win first place.
You hate me and because of that, I hope we never meet again face to face.
I wish that you didn't hate me...

Rest In Peace, Mom - Part V
When a person dies so young, I have to ask why.
I still miss you as each day passes by.
When my brother told me how sick you were, he told me face to face.
He didn't want to tell me over the telephone so he came to my place.
Until he told me the bad news, I didn't know just how ill that you were.
It was painful and heart breaking and your death was hard to endure.
You didn't die on the operating table even though the surgeon thought you would.
I was unhappy eight years ago today because I had to say goodbye to you for good.

Emphysema
I received some bad news a couple of days ago when I went to the doctor. I have Emphysema. It's my fault. I did it to myself because I smoke. I quit smoking in May of 2019, but because my nerves are shot, I started back.
I want to take this opportunity to ask every reader who are non-smokers to stay away from cigarettes. They are dangerous. Cigarettes killed my uncle twenty years ago. I've got Emphysema and it can happen to you too if you smoke.
I'm also asking any readers who are smoking to quit. I know that it's difficult to stop smoking, but it can be done. All you...

Sweetie Pie - Part II
If somebody says that I don't care about my dog, it will be a lie.
On August 18, 2020, I bought my new dog and she's my Sweetie Pie.
She loves to lick my cheeks and my chin.
Hazel loves to lick me over and over again.
Hazel was what her former owner decided to name her.
She is very protective, she always barks at strangers.
I was very scared because Hazel became sick and I thought she might die.
But a vet saved her life and I'm very happy that I didn't lose my Sweetie Pie.

Sweetie Pie
I wasn't going to buy another dog because it hurts too much when they die.
But I decided to buy another dog and she is my Sweetie Pie.
When it comes to the heart, losing a pet sure will break it.
When it came to my former dog's death, it was hard to take it.
But several weeks later, I ended up being in luck.
I bought another dog for only two hundred bucks.
Hazel looks similar to my old dog and I sure am a lucky guy.
My former dog was my Baby Doll and Hazel is my Sweetie Pie.

I Didn't Watch The Inauguration
Today Joe Biden was inaugurated President. But I didn't watch the inauguration. I'm not a Joe Biden supporter. He didn't win because of me. I voted against him in both the primary and election. I voted for Mike Bloomberg in the primary and Donald Trump in the election. I hope that Biden will be a one term President.
I do not like Joe Biden. If this offends some readers, I apologize. But I have to be honest. I'm not a Joe Biden supporter.

My Baby Doll - Part III
It was six months ago today when you drew your final breath.
When I found you in my kitchen, I learned about your death.
It was the day that every pet owner dreads.
At about 10 PM, I learned that you were dead.
You were my baby doll and I loved you a lot.
If people wonder if I'll ever forget you, I will not.
You were my dog and a companion who was a loyal friend.
It was heart breaking when I saw that your life came to an end.
When such a beloved dog dies, it's something that is hard to bear.
You were my baby doll and when I go to Heaven, I hope...

The Last Day Of The Year
2020 is about to end, this is the last day of the year.
During the last 366 days, there has been much fear.
Many people have suffered because of Covid-19.
People have perished but now we have a vaccine.
People had to start wearing masks while in stores.
In less than twenty-four hours, this year will be no more.
The people who lost their loved ones are shedding tears.
Today is December the 31st and it's the last day of the year.

Merry Christmas, Mom - Part VIII
You died and it's something that I don't like to remember.
You won't be with me again on the 25th of December.
Nine Christmases ago was the last Christmas that I spent with you.
When it comes to your death, I wish I could say that it isn't true.
You were the most unselfish person I've ever known, you loved to share.
You wanted me to be happy and it was wonderful to know how much you cared.
You gave giant print bibles to people while you lived.
You were so very special because you loved to give.
It's very sad because we can't be together on Christmas...
