65. Prime Beef Eatery

"Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom." — George S. Patton

After leaving their apartment, Paul sat in the passenger seat as Zach drove towards Prime Beef Eatery, a restaurant near them that served almost any meal consisting of beef. While the prices were noticeably higher than at a fast food place, the taste was more than worth it. 

While the radio played music, Zach brought up small talk with Paul as they drove.

"What have you been up to recently? I haven't seen you much; what have you been playing so much since graduation?"

Paul hesitated, his mind racing with the pros and cons of sharing his recent gaming obsession. He knew that Zach also played Harbinger's Call casually, and he did not really want to choose between trying to carry him like dead weight or refusing to play with him.

"I've been playing a new game. I made some decent money, so I plan on pursuing that instead of a job."
