Inflation

by Brian Taylor1


The video game ate my quarter.
Its measurements fit perfectly with my forklift.

Midnight arrived.
I cut the alarm and blowtorched the back door... In with ease.
... Plug out... Game on lift... "Wait. What's this say?"
... "Fifty cents per play?... What year is this?... And why are the cops outside?"
