There were three attendees left. The Holdouts. All the vendors had left except one: the space simulator. The Holdouts remained firmly in their positions in the simulator, not budging an inch until they experienced the Amazements of Space ride for which they waited five hours to ride. The Magic and Space convention had ended three hours ago, when the Holdouts were next in line to ride.
Prescott Boneworm was just as stubborn, and refused to let the Holdouts ride the ride, even at the cost of his evening. He could wait. But so could the Holdouts, and so the Holdouts did. To this day they're their own attraction that people flock to see, and Prescott's hair is whiter, and posture slumped, but still he stands there, refusing to start the ride for the Holdouts because of course, the convention is over, they'll have to wait until next year.
