House of Cards
My last weekend in Atlantic City I built a house of cards with the ace and queen of spades. The dealer-pushing cards not crack-flopped the five of spades, nine of spades, and seven of clubs.
After another round of high stakes betting the turn was the king of spades. To hide my flush I flicked more chips into the pot. The river was the nine of hearts. My opponent showed his pocket kings.
My foundation collapsed. Gambling promises diamond riches, but cloaks it in steel clubs and heartbreak. Addicted, I held the spade that dug my own grave.
