The Two Ball

It was the winter of 1980.

It was a different world. We would go to various local bars on various drink special nights. We were are The Field House that night just outside of Batavia on Rt.5.

That night I was there with Jimbo, Chaz, Jer and Tom when the fight broke out. I didn't see who started it but it spread to the whole bar like wild fire. Jimbo and I were still sober and we realized it was out of control to the point that the cops would be there in just a few minutes.

We managed to drag Chaz to the door before the woman at the pool table hurt him real bad. We were slowly exiting out the back of the lot into the trailer park as the State Troopers were rolling in.

We made our escape into the snowy night.

That's when Chaz realized he still had this pool ball in his hand. He had grabbed it off the table as insurance in case that woman had a biker for a boyfriend...

--I have had this Relic ever since.

The Guard Clock Key

The Guard Clock Key

This artifact was collected while on an adventure.

My friend Chuck and I were exploring an abandoned building that really looked haunted.

The place was huge. It was scheduled to be demolished and all the major components had already been salvaged from the site.

This Relic is a key that is used by a night watchman while on his rounds. A series of these keys were scattered throughout the building. As the guard made his rounds he would turn these numbered keys in a clock he carried, creating a log of where the guard was when. It made it easier to figure out where the guard was when he was brutally murdered by Zombies.

--I love exploring ruins. Great memories within those abandoned buildings...
