In about 20 minutes, Adam was pulling a jacket on and walking out his front door. It was time to enjoy his day off.

Adam began to shuffle down the stairs. He really wasn’t paying attention to where he was going. As he pulled his car keys out of his pocket, his foot slipped and he hit the steps with a thud. He slid down a few steps before coming to a halt at the bottom of the staircase.

It took him a few minutes to catch his breath and recover. Once he could move again, he picked up his car keys and slowly got up.
“Today is just not my day…” he mumbled as he walked slowly to his car. He made sure he was paying attention to where he was stepping this time.

Adam hopped into his car. He knew exactly where he wanted to go. He then put his keys in the ignition and started his chair. As he was backing up from his parking spot, a car flew past, causing him to slam on his brakes.
“Why the heck are all these things happening to me today?!” Adam yelled, bashing his fists on his car horn.

After successfully leaving the parking lot, Adam made his way to the store he wanted to visit. It took a while to get there because of the New York traffic, but he knew it would be worth it.

Or so he thought.

In what seemed like an hour later, Adam was able to park his car in front of the local GameStop. He took his keys out of the ignition, slid out of his car, slammed his door shut, and made his way to the door.
Adam opened the door without hesitation. He walked straight over to the PS3 section and began to look for Street Fighter IV, the game he had been waiting so long to get. To his horror, he could not find the game anywhere on the shelf.

After scanning the shelf for a fourth time, Adam made his way over to the clerk.
“Excuse me, do you have any copies of Street Fighter IV left?” he asked.

The clerk laughed. “These babies are selling like fresh baked pies,” the clerk said. “No, we don’t have any right now, and probably won’t for a few more weeks.”

Adam groaned.

“Alright…thanks,” he told the clerk as he began to trudge towards his car. He opened the door, dragged his feet to the car, and then slid into the driver’s seat. Adam tilted his head back and sighed.
“I should have known,” he mumbled.

Meanwhile, the members of theOtaku were gathering in the chatroom.
