Fast Eddies; Friday Night
If he'd been home right now, he'd probably have gone out with Hatton, wandering around in a bad costume while small children raced past him and their parents caught sight of his scar and averted their eyes. So, a very typical Halloween!
But, Travis wasn't home despite having thought of heading there earlier today. In the end, it just hadn't seemed worth it so Travis had found his way to Fast Eddie's for the first time. It wasn't anything like Arnie's Arcade and Travis suddenly really missed the Retro Room. But, his prayers were answered when he stumbled upon Space Invaders.
Travis put his hands on the controls and took a breath. He remembered his past panic attack at the controls of this game very vividly and didn't want that to happen again. But, the game had to be played. It had to. His name wasn't notched across the high score board and Travis wanted to correct that.
He plunked a quarter in the game, listened to the familiar music get started and went to work. 29601 was a daunting score but he knew that it wasn't impossible to overcome. Travis' fingers curled comfortably around the controls and he took a breath.
God, he hoped he didn't have a panic attack.
