Last day at the casino
This is your last day at the casino… and probably on Earth among the living. You are a new gambler, trying to make a name for yourself — or at least, you were. You just went all in and lost everything. On what? You don't even remember. Cards blur together in your head. Chips, lights, smoke, faces — all melted into one nauseating haze. Your hands are still shaking. Usually, losing everything would only mean crawling back home broke and humiliated. But tonight is different. You owe money to a loan shark. A lot of money. And the debt is due in a couple of hours.
