C-S06 — The Evening without a Score
Module C · version 0.4.0 · original fictional reading practice

1. Matan's friends met every Friday to play online games together. One evening, the internet stopped working just as they were starting. Matan searched for a signal while the others waited. His younger sister put a box of drawing cards on the table, but nobody wanted to leave the game they had planned.
2. After twenty minutes, the friends agreed to try the cards. One person drew a strange machine, and the others guessed what it did. There were no points or winners. At first, Matan thought that a game without a score would be boring. Then a drawing of a shoe with wings made him laugh.
3. When the internet returned, the friends noticed that they were still enjoying themselves. They finished the card game before opening their computers. Matan put the funniest drawings on the wall. He asked his sister to leave the box downstairs so they could use it again.
4. The friends did not stop playing online games. However, they now sometimes began their meetings with a different activity. Matan discovered that he could enjoy an evening without trying to improve a score. The broken connection had interrupted one plan and opened a door to another.
