The Arcade

Waiting in the Playpen

added 16 years ago O

The employee walked away and Andrew looked around the playpen. This wasn't exactly all it was cracked up to be. Some blocks on the floor of the playpen and a few other toys.

After a few moments he was bored out of his mind. He didn't want to be trapped in the playpen anymore, he liked the freedom he had at being an older kid, this was ridiculous. He had to figure out how to get out and how to make sure none of the employees caught him.

"Hey," he said to a guy. He seemed to be around 16. He looked at Andrew and kept walking.

"Darn," said Andrew, this would be harder then he thought. Sure the place was crowded but who was going to help a five year old in here, let alone talk to him.

Andrew looked at the blocks. Maybe if he could stand on two of them he could somehow pull himself over the top of the playpen.

He stood on them and then reached his leg to the side of the playpen. He hooked his foot and then pulled himself over. He dropped to the ground and then rushed toward the back room again.

He reached his little hand into his pocket. He still had the change from the change machines. He got to the back corner and saw the magician machine.

As he walked over Andrew realized he was to short. Even if he could get the coin in the slot he couldn't aim it at the Magician's mouth. He looked around, nobody else was around.

Tears welled up in his eyes, "I didn't want to be this young," he cried out.

The machine made a few dings like before but no card came out. Andrew cried realizing he was stuck like this...he looked up at the machine...he felt weird...something was happening...
