Son Races Deceased Father's Ghost on Xbox Racer

1. Well, when i was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. you know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001.

2. We had tons and tons and tons of fun playing all kinds of games together - until he died, when i was just 6.

3. I couldn't touch that console for 10 years.

4. But once I did, I noticed something.

5. We used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge. actually pretty awesome for the time it came.

6. And once I started meddling around... I found a GHOST.

7. Literally.

8. You know, when a time race happens, then the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver? Yep, you guessed it - his ghost still rolls around the track today.

9. And so I played and played, and played, until I was almost able to beat the ghost. until one day I got ahead of it, I surpassed it, and...

10. I stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure I wouldn't delete it. Bliss.
