Three Word Wednesday: descent, kill, surreal

The Three Words for today are: descent, kill, surreal

I used to kill time with Descent,
A game with a vertigo bent,
Its 3-D appeal
Was graphics surreal,
A spaceman on dire mission sent.

Descent, Myst, Zork, Galactic Civilizations, Nethack - so many hours down the tube having so much fun. Oh, for the salad days of my youth...

I'm also linking this to today's One Shot Wednesday. I do a limerick every Wednesday for 3WW, and toss off funny limericks on Twitter, but I'm not sure that qualifies me to hang out with real poets.

    Alas, my free time has so many more demands on it these days. Plunking down in front of the computer for hours and days is very hard to pull off.
