I am ashamed to admit that I had an addiction. If I heard the music from those machines I had to waste my two rand and frustrate myself beyond all reason. Slowly but surely I was rehabilitated and I could walk past the machines without feeling their magnetic pull.
Then the Evil Claw Machine hit me.
I was going to the bathroom on our way back from Grahamstown when I heard the music. It was the same old song, but low and freakish.
It called me.
I played.
I lost.
Why does it say 'play at own risk'?
