William was doing well today.
He won all the time.
In two hours, he won more than 200K.
The people at the table were afraid to play
with him.
The owner was making him win.
“Okay, it’s your turn,” Mark said. “Hold still.”
Then he kicked me in the chest.
“He’s cheating!”
He kicked me, and I gasped for air.
“I wasn’t cheating!” I shouted. “You aren’t
giving us the money!”

The owner came over and pulled up my
sleeve, taking out the playing cards.
“What’s this? You little punk. I was playing
cards before you were even born!”
He pushed me, and I crashed into the table.
“Get him!”
William pushed his way through and saw me.
“What’s happening?”
“This guy was cheating!” the owner said.
“He’s in trouble.” William laughed.
“William, do you know him?” the owner said.
“I’m happy to let you handle it.”
“You know it!” William said.
“Even if he cheated, I still have 20K, I need to
leave with that!” I said.
“He can have 20K.” The owner said.
I got up and started betting on another table.
The owner shouted, “You’re betting again!”
“I need money!” I shouted.
William said, “Let’s gamble. I’ll play with you.”
