fast eddies | early evening | sunday | july 12
It hadn't been that hard to find the only arcade in town and, after getting over the camp of it (he was used to pool tables in bars and dark pool halls, not in brightly lit bowling alleys), found his way to the pool tables. Despite having not played in awhile, Alex still found a stick that suited him easily and got the pool balls racked up quickly.
Alex liked pool for a few reasons. One reason was that he was pretty damn good at it as evidenced by sinking a few balls on the initial break. The other was that the pool sticks made great impromptu weapons if needed. Not that he thought he'd need it here but he always made a note of that type of thing these days. Parental influence was a heavy thing even if he'd deny that to the ends of the Earth.
And pool tended to have a relaxing affect on him. He didn't need that so much now but it was still nice to be relaxed every so often.
[possibly expecting someone but hey, open place in town.]
