Game On
by Michael Channing
The devil deals from the bottom of the deck, all the sixes up his sleeve. The dice drop nothing but eyes, and the bones of your back kiss the cold hard skin of the eight ball. In your own life you're just visiting. The rent's due. Your ship is sunk. Your creditors have declared a war. The best you can hope for is a zero sum. The wheel rolls right over you. Rules rearrange to hand you that whammy every time. You bet your life and broke the bank, and now you’re in constant danger of cancellation. You've only one recourse when the odds are against you and even the evens are never in your favor: Double down, buckle up, and game on.
