catherineong Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 The neon lights of the casino ruined me. I, Alex, lost everything at the blackjack tables. Each evening, the gambling halls called. The whir of slot machines was the soundtrack of my downfall. My wife, Maria, implored me to abandon the roulette wheel, but I couldn't resist the pull. On that ruinous night at the exclusive casino, I bet everything: our future, our dwelling - on a "sure thing" bet. The roulette ball landed on the wrong number and the house always wins. Returning home with not a penny to my name, I found only a note: "I can't do this anymore. Your gambling addiction has become unbearable." Deserted in an hollow space, I comprehended that grasping at a royal flush deprived me of all that was real. I was diagnosed with severe depression, deepened by my losses at the tables. Now, daily is a challenge not just with the phantom sounds of slot machines, but with the deep darkness in my mind. Will I ever free myself from this black hole dug by years of gambling? >>> best online slots for free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
