Game Rules

  Game Rules                The phone rang. “Do you want to play a game?” asked a robotic voice on the other end of the line.                “Knock it off Julian!” I was tired of hearing that voice every time I answered his calls.                His voice returned to normal. “What say you?”                “What kind of game?” His games were usually a little bizarre and I never really understood them, so I was always leery of agreeing to play.                “Just meet me by the tower in ten minutes.
