The Retro Days

A 1980 PacMan coin operated arcade machine, fine dining next to a mini sized pizza joint. The overhead stove lighting illuminating over the retro machine like it's a museum's prized possession, with _glory _written in bold letters. An art piece of that magnitude would cost a fortune. Your wallet cries out while you pull your newly acquired debit card from it's sleeve. The crisp reflection catches a glimpse of the menu,_ $5.99 pizza. _Your stomach is churning at the word hunger. You try to satisfy the need to spend that much of your allowance on a single slice. Though the exchange is more costly, your eyes yearn for the Hot Chicken Deluxe with extra pickles. The swipe of your card and the attend asking if you would like your receipt masks the sound of your belly grumpling for the last time.
