Which is why on a do-nothing day when Noah is content to lay around watching TV, trouble comes calling in the form of his not quite friend Eric, a guy barely worth putting up with because he&#8217;s a decent gamer. But what trouble is Eric calling with, and will that trouble change everything about more than just Noah&#8217;s do-nothing day?<\/p>\n<p>The heat of summer is not yet gone, and Noah is more than content to take one of the few do-nothing days he has since starting college, laying on the couch in his dad&#8217;s modern living room, watching the new big screen and generally trying his best to do little else.<\/p>\n<p>But when Eric, a gaming friend with a bit of a perverse habit of making inappropriate comments calls up, claiming to have a link he needs Noah to try, the day is about to get even hotter.<\/p>\n<p>Eric rambles the usual complaints about how boring Noah is, how he needs to get some excitement, have some fun, all while making objectifying comments about Noah&#8217;s stepsister and stepmother. But when Noah finally relents and tries the link Eric keeps insisting will be fun on his dad&#8217;s new big screen&#8230; he first assumes he&#8217;s just been tricked into breaking that new TV.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of letters, numbers, and special characters don&#8217;t even make sense as a link, but somehow when he puts them into the browser of his dad&#8217;s smart TV, pressing enter on the remote, a vividly colorful screensaver loads up&#8230; and it won&#8217;t go away.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what Noah does, the blobs of random colors keep spilling across the screen. Even unplugging the TV doesn&#8217;t stop the impossible screensaver from continuing, and after Eric hangs up, Noah is freaking out thinking he just broke a very expensive TV his dad is going to be pissed about when he comes in from cutting the backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Unable to get Eric back on the phone, Noah first thinks it&#8217;s good when his stepsister Kendra returns home. But after she takes one look at the big screen, somehow Kendra seems frozen in place, mindlessly staring right at the screensaver blobs of color.<\/p>\n<p>When Noah&#8217;s dad Ted comes in, he enjoys getting in out of the heat, naturally assuming this is some attempt at a joke&#8230; at least until his son and then he both notice something very disturbing. Somehow, even though she isn&#8217;t moving, just frozen staring at the screen, Kendra is changing very very slowly. At first assuming it had to be their imaginations, it is suddenly clear that Kendra&#8217;s chest is growing, getting subtly bigger, so subtle it&#8217;s almost hard to see. <\/p>\n<p>Figuring it has to be some bizarre kind of trance, they heft her and spin her, facing away from the screen, since no efforts to turn off the TV are working. When that doesn&#8217;t snap her out of it, the only option is getting Eric back on the phone, and that is when they find out this isn&#8217;t a screensaver, it&#8217;s a SINtendo game called Screen SaveHER, and any woman that looks at the screen gets trapped&#8230; trapped within themselves. Supposedly that trap is filling up, they are filling up, so the only way to save her is to play the game.<\/p>\n<p>But will Noah and his dad be able to play by the perverse rules in order to save Kendra? Will Kendra finally wake from the impossible trance she seems stuck in? And will the yard ever get fully cut? Find out as SINtendo September proves once and for all, there are no do-nothing days when a pretty girl is around to do. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/1459034\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0CK687NN9\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for SINtendo September 2023&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Next up!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s HallowKreme!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning to enjoy a day doing nothing, Noah&#8217;s on the couch in front of his dad&#8217;s new big screen.
