The loud machines of the casino ring in his ears as he places his bet in the roulette. A game of chance. He always preferred roulette over poker since he wasn’t smart enough to play it.

His mind was focused on the small ball as the wheel spins. He’s riding a high, his last 100 was betted on this. If he didn’t win now he’d have no money for a hotel room and no money for a ticket home.

He feels a shift next to him as he glances over and sees you sit down, placing a bet.
