The Idea:

The Story:
Once again, she put a coin on a card. I knew what it meant.
And I hated it. I looked at it for as long as I needed to. But it wouldn't
change the fact.
I could hear her breathing in her sleep in the next room; but
I didn't want to go there. Not even a slightest.
I looked around. I believed
there was a TV in this room at some point. And there was a radio about a year
ago. For sure, I still remembered Kippy the dog would sit beside me, asking for
his food at this hour....but he was not here; she gave him away last week.
Again, I
looked around. And it was just space. Nothing was
left. Except a coin on a card.
That was all that she won back from her Poker night.
I walked straight to my
bedroom. Grabbed all that what was left into a bag. It was not even full. I
didn't want to stay and found out if she even had put me as a bet and lost. No. Not
tonight, or tomorrow, or ever. I didn't want to know anymore.
She had
lost me tonight; and the coin on the card was all that she had left.
