YOU FAIL

You insert your last quarter, the claw machine springs into life, you step up to the controls and get to work. You slowly move the slow, one small touch at a time toward your target, a bright pink bear holding a bright red heart with an arrow through it saying be mine forever.

As you fiddle with the joy stick you whisper to yourself slowly, slowly, slowly, you’ve got this, you’ve got this, with your tongue just outside the right hand side of your lips, like you always do when your concentrating.

The moment comes, you press the button, the claw descends, and grabs the bear, you await with baited breath.

The claw grabs the bear, your heart leaps out of your chest, then it lets the bear go and limply recoils back to its starting position.

‘Mother fucker’ you shout before kicking the machine. The man behind the prize booth taps on the glass to get your attention. You turn, he points at you’ you out’ he then points at a large size stating that there is a family policy in place.

Frustrated you throw your arms up in the end and shout ‘ fine I don’t want to waste anymore of my money of your shitty machines anyway’. As you go to leave Jen grabs your arm and shouts back ‘yeh damn things rigged anyway’ and walks out the arcade with you in tow.

‘Fucking bullshit’ you shout when you get outside, kicking the curb. There you go again with your childish temper tantrums. Before you sit on the curb. Jen sits down next to you, ‘it was real sweet of you to try and win me that beer sweetie’. You turn to face her, from the position you’re both sat in you can see straight down her top, she has a fantastic cleavage.
