Thanks! But you meant toe beans, right? 😹

Very good, I see what you did there. After a bit of googling I found out what toe beans are, I think its may be a transatlantic two nations divided by a common language thing. My mother never said to us Come inside now and wash that blood off your toe beans before dinner. She just called them paw pads.

The story read well. I was intrigued but honestly did not understand it’. The meaning of the license plate? . Maybe it’s because I read no fantasy. I do read fiction but I read more non fiction. . Anyway I have a desire to understand this story. I need help

Great worldbuilding and pinball specifics. I had a lot of fun reading this. And I recently played Captain Fantastic!

You've certainly made being trapped in a pinball machine terrifying!

Wow, so many visuals. Very Tron-esque in an analog sort of way. Nice work.

Very interesting, to imagine being sucked into a pin ball game. Why not think of a more non-conventional setup instead of a pin ball game?
