I’m a small time card cheat. I’ve always been very dexterous. I don’t rake in big bucks, but keep my take down to a modest amount, just enough for a lot of free time and to do what I want. I move from city to city so I won’t become too well known in any one place.
Unfortunately, tonight another player caught me cheating, and he convinced the other players they should teach me a lesson.
Just before they repeatedly slammed the door on my hand and ruined it, he whispered in my ear. “Sorry pal, but I don’t like competition.”
OOOOH…very intense…and entire movie opening in 101 words…bravo.
Yes. intense, the image of the hand in the door. Anticipation/dread! Love the rhythm of it. Especially like “I’ve always been dexterous.”
