This is one of the most enjoyable and fun short stories I have read lately. It was both funny and poignant, predictable and yet complex and interesting enough to draw you into the story even when you know it is going to end badly. From its beginning at the black jack table in Vegas to its ending on the streets you know this man is in trouble and in way over his head. But you can't help but hope that this time, this one time, the guy will get the beautiful girl, the money, the fast car and get his happily ever after. Who knows, maybe he will. Read it and see.Karen Bryant Doering
