[ WP ] You 've been rewinding time for the low cost of a quarter , you 're on your last one .

The sun was warm on my face, her arms around my bare chest. The sand in my trunks did n't even register on account of the voluptuous chest that was bearing on my back. Fiji was a true paradise. The empty glasses and bottle were evidence of that, along with my beautiful companion. 
 
 Her sweet voice rang in my ears as she simply said- 
 
 
 *ERROR INSERT ADDITION CREDIT. ERROR INSERT ADDITIONAL CREDIT TO CONTINUE... * 
 
 
 My eyes jolted open as the headset shouted into my ears, demanding more money. I searched my pockets quickly to re-live the memory, finding only a quarter. 
 
 
 My last one left. 
 
 
 I slotted it into the machine once more and my mind felt blank. 
 
 
 A brief spasm in the headset and an assortment of noises filled my ears until another message appeared. 
 
 
 *ERROR IN MACHINE. ERROR IN MACHINE. CAN NOT CONTINUE. PLEASE CALL ASSISTANCE AT-* 
 
 
 I tore the headset off, grunting as I the headset, a grayish brown thing tether to the booth's counter bobbed up and down violently. 
 
 
 Slamming the door open, I exited the Rewind booth, the air cutting through the thin jacket. It was a damp winter day, and I sure as hell would n't be eating tonight, nothing warm that was. 
 
 
 My trolley was in the corner, untouched on account of it looking like an overused trash bin. 
 
 
 I began walking over, but spotted a shiny metal object. Bending slowly to ease the back pain, the gold peeked through grit and blackish water. A dollar. 
 
 
 I hobbled over back to the booth and punched the machine to restart itself. 
 
 
 The screen restarted and I waited eagerly to put the coin in. 
 
 Closing the door behind me, I desperately waited for the horror of reality to fade, the cry of a broke man to linger no more and for a soul lost in time to relive his best days. 
 
 
 I slotted the coin into the machine and placed the head set onto my head, covering my eyes. 
 
 
 It became warm again, and once more, I was on the shores of Fiji.
