Duke Nukem 3D:Hell Hound

Ever since i was a kid i have been playing Duke Nukem games with my dad. We would handicap ourselves by making challenges like run threw the game with nothing but the pistol or try and play the first level of the game blindfolded since we played threw the first level so many times, things of that nature. Rescently my father had past away and i sat in bed crying and thinking of all my memories of him as a child. I remembered all the things we did like go fishing cook things toghether and my favoruite, playing Duke Nukem 3D with him. I decided to get up and go see if i could find my old copy of Duke Nukem 3D. I searched for hours and couldn't find it then suddenly i remembered that i had put all my old things in a box last week and put it in my closet. I rushed to my room and opened my closet, and a box marked "old things" was sitting there. I opened the box and found some of my old clothes,toys and at the bottom of the box, Duke Nukem 3D. The box looked like it had been chewed up from the sides but the game was in fine condition. I sat down in my desk, turned on my computer and downloaded DOSBOX so the game would run since the game was too old to run on modern computers. I then proceeded to enter the cd into my computer and run DOSBOX. It ran into some errors loading the game up but it fiannly launched after i tweeked around the options and re-launched it for a 3rd time. I started off in the first level were i spawn on a roof and have to explode the gas tank to proceed to the level but something was a bit off, the walls had textures that sort of looked like someone screaming in pain instead of the usual stone brick wall texture i continued on and found some monsters i had to fight using only the pistol, i noticed that the monsters would scream in pain when i killed them before quickly dying. I didnt know what to think of it so i just continued on since i was finnaly starting to forget about my dad and i needed something to distract me.I then found something terribly wrong in the game, the game would quickly make my monitor flash every know and then and when it did i swear i could see a picture of what looked like a hell hound from call of duty. I was a bit confused by this but i again needed to get my mind off my dad and this seemed to be the only thing that would distract me. I continued on and suddenly ran apon a dog that looked like the picture of the hell hound i saw earlyer when the screen would blink, i stared at it for about 30 seconds since it didn't attack me and it suddenly started to talk. "Hello Mutara, and welcome to the game, i hope you enjoy the rest of your experience, cause it will be the last expierence you will ever witness." said the hell hound. I stood in shock trying to find a logical explonation to how it knew my name, not even my computer had my real name on it so how could it have known mt real name! I turned off my computer even though i knew i would start to remember my dad and ran to my kitchen were my phone was. I called my wife since she was at work at the time and told her what happend. She told me she was in a meating and the she cant here my silly video game adventures at the moment and hung up. I stood there in my kitchen amazed and scared on how the game knew my name and what i would do to get my mind off what just happend and my dad. Suddenly i heard my computer make a loud popping sound combined with what sounded like fire in the background. I walked to my computer and saw nothing but a black screen and a picture of the hell hound from earlyer.Suddenly a picture of my dad showed up on the screen and i started to cry while the memories came flooding back into my mind. "Face it, you will never get over it. Just deal with it and come to me when you can." it said. I was crying and screaming at the same time on the floor trying to get rid of the memories and understand what was happening and what the hell hound ment all at the same time. My wife finnaly returned and saw me crying on the ground "What happned!" she said all worried. I couldn't speak so i pointed to the screen and showed her the picture. "She gazed in horror as the picture changed from my dad and the hell hound to me and the hell hound, then her with the hell hound. "What is this!" she said scared out of her mind. "The game created the photos" i said crying on the floor. She then managed to turn off the computer and bring me off the bed. The next morning i woke up soaking wet in my tears, i got up and went to my wash room as my wife asked me what exactly had happend. I told her everything that had happend and she stood in horror as i told her how the game knew my name and what it was saying to me. We both stood there for about 5 minutes talking about what possibly could have happened and then we both carried on with out day as normal, but all i could think about all day was what had happend and what the dog ment when he said to come to him, and i still to this day try everyday to understand what happend that one horrible day.
