Eddie had intended on testing out his spellcasting powers, he really had. But, the urgency to get back into the grove of things wasn't there for him. He wanted to take a breather and enjoy the things he had. An arcade, for one. It wasn't a terribly busy arcade and a lot of the machines made to attract families had been taken out. Now, the rows of perfectly restored pinball machines were attractive to the older crowd, the weird, the nerdy. They'd stay at the motel down the street or rent a room nearby just to play some old arcade favorites.
Thanksgiving weekend had brought a lot of new faces. Family members with nothing better to do than to sneak out to play some classics from their youth. Eddie had been busy, manning the main counter and fixing machines that went on the fritz. He almost didn't even miss Second City and Karma's Bite. The dangerous and intense world where every decision changed lives. Here, a broken down Pac-Man machine was his biggest concern.
So, he had opened the arcade in the afternoon, got himself a coke and started working on the Pac-Man that was so old the ghosts had been burnt into the screen. Jimmy Buffett played overhead singing sailor songs that a city boy like Eddie could only dream about.
