But sometimes a husband just seems to get obsessed with something, and in Matt&#8217;s case it happens to be a ridiculously confusing video game he has spent far too many hours playing.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia heads into the living room, watching her thirty year old husband bouncing around excitedly like a teenager with the game controller in his hands, eyes glued to the television where as far as she can tell nothing all that interesting or exciting is happening.<\/p>\n<p>He slaps at the buttons but on the screen blobs of random colors melt into one another seemingly without meaning. There isn&#8217;t even a high score or any other information listed, but Matt seems to know when he is doing well or not. For two weeks it has been this way, Olivia definitely a patient wife, but not this patient for a stupid obsession like this taking all her husband&#8217;s attention and focus.<\/p>\n<p>As Matt energetically jumps around, excited about reaching level nine, already moving on to the next, Olivia is more than just annoyed. She&#8217;s going to get her husband to pay attention to her one way or another, and so she sits next to him on the couch as he plays&#8230; feeling both sleepy and enraged by his silly obsession with this game. But everything she says, Matt just makes a comment like &#8220;that&#8217;s nice, honey&#8221; or &#8220;sure, whatever you want,&#8221; and clearly he is not even listening to her.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Olivia remains determined, and figures if she can&#8217;t get her husband&#8217;s attention through sheer determination and pushiness in talking to him, she&#8217;ll get it by raising the stakes and saying things she never would say.<\/p>\n<p>And so begins a day of gaming for Matt, but Olivia saying more and more uncharacteristically dirty things, suggesting they have sex, talking about getting bigger tits, maybe even sex with strangers&#8230; and every comment, every attempt to shake him from the apparently hypnotic sway the television has over him with that unbelievably cryptic video game fails. <\/p>\n<p>Getting more and more desperate, pushing herself to new levels, Olivia is soon stripping, doing things to her body she&#8217;d never do in a brightly lit living room, determined that something will finally pull her husband&#8217;s eyes back onto her&#8230; and yet nothing seems to work as he just happily jumps about, reaching level after level in his stupid video game.<\/p>\n<p>But is this game really captivating him&#8230; or could the entire point of it be to captivate her and make her do the very things she is doing out of desperation? Can a video game truly be so mind numbing it numbs someone else&#8217;s mind? Can it be so sleep inducing it puts all sanity and reason to sleep? And will Olivia ever get her husband&#8217;s attention, even when she takes her self-abusing actions to extremes&#8230; or will she find herself dozing permanently after he finally beats SINtendozzz?<\/p>\n<p>SINtendo September continues with a loving tale of a husband and wife doing things together&#8230; one way or another.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1164231\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BD5BR6WN\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Up next&#8230; It&#8217;s complete&#8230; synergy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Olivia comes in from a pleasant walk outside to find her husband Matt still hours deep into his obsessive game playing, she&#8217;s just about had enough.
