Wake up in a pacman game

 “Dark room, a bunch of pellets floating near me, feeling hungry” you think. “I must be pacman” you say. But realize you have a bow over your head. “Miss pacman” you correct yourself. 

You see a ghost, “i must eat all i can before they find me” you say as you start walking and eating. “They taste like oreos” you say as you eat your first pellet. You keep up walking and hiding from ghosts. Suddenly you see a bigger pellet. As you eat it, you feel empowered, you run towards the nearest ghost and eat him. “He tastes like marshmallows” you think. But as you say that phrase, your perspective changes. You are a couple of disembodied eyes. You have the need to go back to the center of the stage. 

As you reach the center of the stage. Your body materializes, “orange” you say out loud. “What’s that clyde?” The red ghost asks you. You realize, you can hear and talk with other ghosts. “Blinky” you tell him. Realizing you know his name. “Time to go out and trap the pacman” he says. “Wait!” You yell. “We should come up with an strategy” you tell him. You wait until pinky and inky are close by. You tell them what to do. 

As you all get out of the center box, you all quickly fly towards miss pacman, and corner her. “Let me” you say as you touch her, killing her and turning her into a ghost herself. 

You are so happy. You won. But your celebration cuts short when everything goes dark again.
