Life is a Gamble
As Ace went out to the balcony to get some fresh air the cold breeze made Ace’s tie fly in the air. He is drinking iced whiskey on his right hand while smoking a cigar with his left hand, Feeling depressed about his whole life, which is always a gamble because you will win and lose in life.
Placing bets with a large amount of money and losing it all in a day, making deals he couldn’t keep. All of the sudden, three ferocious gangsters that he owes money to confront him. His troubles are now deeper than the blue sea. He had to think fast and quick! He eyeballed the casino room and saw an escape exit plan.The door is to the left where his car is parked. With a quick flick of his right hand he splashed his drink into the main gangster’s face and made a dash to his car. Screaming in anger, the main gangster quickly ordered his men to run after him. Ace is now in a high speed chase with the gangsters driving behind him. Bullets ring out the chilly night, missing him left and right. The gangsters hit his bumper and Ace almost lost control of his car.Ace’s heart is beating as fast as hummingbird wings - then all of a sudden he felt a sharp burning pain in his left shoulder. Blood is soaking up his white shirt. He just realized that he had been hit with a bullet. Ace realized that he had to defend himself, so he reached into the glove box and took out his silver pistol. With his left arm wounded, he tries to steer while aiming the gun to his rear window with his right hand. Ace pulled the trigger only one time through his rear window trying to aim at his enemies as Ace shot through the rear glass. It shattered into a thousand pieces, A loud screeching sound pierced Ace’s ears then a loud metal crash followed . Ace slowed down his car and took a better look back. The gangster car had crashed into a light pole and all three of the men were bleeding with slight movements. Smoke and the smell of burnt tire was in the air . The sight of the gangster being helpless made Ace heart calm with ease.
Cold sweat was dripping down his face . He reached over in his front shirt pocket and took out a cigarette and lit it up.Taking long deep puffs he wondered how he made it out alive. Daydreaming into his future moving back to the Midwest to start a fresh life will be simple without lies and sins.His heart is filled with new hope.
The end
