Knowing there would be no resolution to this standoff, I stood to leave the room.

Love this! How unexpected ?
Aww thank you – all’s fair in love and…. Card games??
The tension! The twist! Love it – gave me a good laugh!
Aww thank you… those games can be vicious haha
Love the tension and the unexpected twist!
Thank you Lee
Strong opening, tense build and a good twist – well structured.
Thanks Christine
Nice! I used to play many a game of Uno (both in person and online), and this story brought back memories. Well done.
Thanks I appreciate it. The question though- do you stack the draw cards?
Well written. Captures the moment. Reminds me of my siblings playing cards, games etc.
