Benny,the dog went home from the park feeling

Benny,the dog went home from the park feeling sad that day cause Jack,his owner lost his ball in the lake.The next day,Jack brought him a beatyfull yellow ball,bigger and better
- by anyone else's standards. Benny, though, fell into a deep depression, and seeing the new shiny ball and realizing it meant nothing to him only worsened the despair he felt.
In years past, Benny was a pinball wizard. But no one cared for the deft way he massaged the flippers enticing the mercurial orb to an extra game. It was all brutal button mashing.
And the analog entertainment boxes were becoming ever scarcer located in seedy old bars. The few that remained were in disrepair. Benny became the Pinball repairman for a few retro
pinball machines, a boring job til Benny met the "Pinball Wizard," an old drunk guy wearing a wizard hat he'd made from bar napkins & swizzle sticks."Step aside Junior" the Pinball
Wizard shoved Benny into a nearby wall to clear the path to the pinball machine. Upon reaching it, he began to massage its sides, licking the glass as if all of this was some sort
of strange ritual. Ritual for what though? Benny lay near the bottom of the wall, bleeding slightly. The pinball machine began to glow, with the ritual nearing completion until
the machine said, "Greetings Starfighter." An alien with the name Centauri approached Benny, a pool of blood around his head.
How the alien managed to keep the blood pooling around his head as he approached, Benny would never know. "So I'm a Starfighter now?" Benny asked, extending his hand to the alien.
But the alien didn't respond. Its beady, glistening black eyes shut. The awkward silence made Benny question this whole "Starfighter" thing more, but nobody was left to answer.
