THE CLOCKMAKER

We finish eating and Brent gets up to pay the bill. He gives me a wide-eyed look before quickly telling me he left the 1940 money he made playing poker in another jackets pocket.

I instinctively put my hand into my coat pocket and raise my eyebrows when I feel coins inside. I pull out a few and look at them. They are definitely the right coins for the time we are dwelling in. Seeing this Brent also sticks his hand into his coat pockets. He gives a tiny laugh when producing a few coins also from this time frame. He pays the bill and we leave the diner.

It is easier to forget the era you are dwelling in when you are inside a building. Sometimes even in modern times there would be hotels and diners focussed on keeping their décor to a certain era. Giving the effect of being in another time frame. These little businesses are fun to visit to get the feel of the old age.
