You put 25 cents into Elivira and start playing pinball. You're not
very good at it, and you lose the first ball almost instanteously. The
second ball doesn't last too much longer, but you get a good fifteen
seconds with the third ball. With that game over, you feel the urge to
play again...
An unknown number of consecutive games, thousands of dollars, and seven
days later, you finally manage to beat the highest score on the
machine. As soon as you lose the last ball, your fingers curl up into
permanent carpal tunnel, your eyes force themselves shut, and
your stomach curls up after not having eaten anything during your streak.
Your Mom always says that cheap women and games will be the death of
you, but you never seriously thought she was going to be right.
Of course, she also says that chocolate syrup goes well
with fish. Never said anything about you not getting a yearbook,
though.
