The anklet in the claw machine seemed to glimmer. My eye was drawn instantly to the yellow light in the corner of the truck stop.
I know a girl my age should be over these games, but I found myself wandering away from my family and towards it.

My eyes roved over the assortment of trinkets inside. A ring here, a watch there, little bobbles spread about and there it was, calling the quarters from my pocket.

My hand slid into my pocket, fingers carressing the coins inside. The coin slot seemed like the devil making me want to put my allowance inside for a chance to gain another useless item to add to my junk collection.

But that anklet spoke loud to me.

What would it hurt?

The coins rolled into the slot and the timer started at thirty seconds.

My eye's widened then narrowed as I focused, my hand clutching the knob and easing the claw over the collection.

I needed it.

My thumb brushed the red button, not yet pressing it. The shiny glow made me feel a rush of excitemnt as if I were a little kid again!

No I had to time it. Let the claw steady from the motion before sending it into the gravel.

My eyes glanced down at the timer. Ten seconds.

The claw stopped waving and I gently pressed that little red button.

Seven seconds.

The claw pressed down into the gravel, one of itms fingers through the middle of the ring of anklet.

Four seconds.

It raised up, clasping the treasure and carrying it to the drop.

I bit my lip as I watched it's motions. It swayed and I thought the claw was going to loose it's grip.

But then when it got to the destination, only then did it drop.

The anklet was mine!

I raced to retrieve it from the dock and felt a surge as my hand grasped my treasure.

It was a odd sensation... But I shrugged it off as I admired my prize.
So I had this idea a while back based around similar idea of the Digimon Frontier series where people have the spirits of Digimon inside them and they can become Digimon... well mine is with the slight twist that the transformation is ignited by a item of the Digimon.

In this case the character is really a innocent girl still fighting growing up and she really always has loved crane games...cause they're fun and exciting for a gambling game.

This is just the first of many possible characters. Stephanie Stopp is Streakstops human name ;3 in case it wasn't just totally obvious Sam.
