    Russian roulette

    The game began with little stress, a room filled with confidence. The figure lay appoint at me, the odds at one to three. The barrel was put inside my mouth as tradition showed itself. I pulled the trigger, I was safe. The final man took no pace. One to two the odds where grim, his hand quivered ounce again. He waited still, the trigger strained. Left a bullet in his brain. My eyes turned to the recent deceased, with one look my pride released. One bullet left in chamber grim, did I truly win?
