A story in the Dark Tales Universe
Paul Cliff is an asshole. All of his ex-wives told him that, as had many other females. A "Store Detective", he often preyed on those he caught shoplifting, promising to go easy on them if they were nice to him. Especially the young ones.
John is a thirty-something wastrel, living in his mother's basement. Then, a stroke of luck, and a lot of nagging lands him the rarest arcade game of all time. He thinks it will change his life, and finally show his mother that games are for real. However, John has no idea just how much it will change his life.
John left when he was too young to remember why. With his life unraveling he decides to travel back to his hometown, to his relatives for some peace and quiet. Perhaps he might even get some answers including the reason why he left in the first place.
