A news story from a narrative tale...


Cardboard games arcade launched



A nine year old entrepreneur, Caine Monroy, is wowing East Los Angeles with his home-made  games arcade set up in the front room of his father’s used auto parts business.  The arcade, which was originally organized during the school holidays, is made entirely of cardboard boxes.  Caine is responsible for the management of his business – right down to the setting of the very modest playing fees and the provision of prizes.

On Sunday afternoon, 2nd October, 2012, Caine was thrilled to see an estimated crowd of a hundred enthusiastic gamers waiting outside his business.  They had been lured there by Caine’s first (and for some time, only) customer, Nirvan Mullick.  Unknown to Caine, Nirvan had issued an online invitation to the citizens of Los Angeles to visit the arcade.

Caine, who has the whole-hearted support of his businessman father, has charmed the world in the eight minute video, “Caine’s Arcade”.  The video, which has been produced by his fan Nirvan, can be viewed at http://vimeo.com/40000072.  It has now gone viral.
