Well, well, well. Another day in the fiery pits of Hell, and what do I find myself doing? Gambling, of course. It's become somewhat of a routine for me now - wake up (if you can call it that), have a drink or ten to shake off the eternal damnation blues, and then head straight to the nearest casino.
I've always had a knack for games of chance. Maybe it's because life itself is just one big gamble, so why not try my luck in the afterlife too? Plus, there's something about outsmarting those pesky demons that run these joints that gives me an odd sense of satisfaction.
Today was no different. I sauntered into The Infernal Pit with my usual swagger, already eyeing up the blackjack table before I even reached it. As expected, old Scratch himself was dealing tonight - he always did love to keep an eye on his favorite sinners.
The cards were dealt swiftly as ever; Scratch never wasted time when there were souls to be won or lost. And oh boy did we play some hands tonight! It was neck and neck between us for what felt like hours - each one trying to outwit the other with bluffs and double downs.
In the end though...well let's just say Lady Luck wasn't exactly on my side this evening. But hey, that's part of the thrill isn't it? The risk...the rush...the inevitable disappointment when you realize your pockets are empty once again.
But here's the thing about gambling in Hell - you never really lose everything. Sure, maybe your soul takes a hit every now and then (literally), but there will always be another game waiting for you around every corner if you're willing to take a chance.
So here I am now; sitting at my usual spot at The Infernal Pit bar with a devilish grin plastered across my face as I nurse yet another glass of whiskey…thinking about all those poor suckers who think they can beat me next time.
Maybe they will...or maybe they'll end up like so many others: broken down by their own hubris while Husker here continues gaming his way through eternity with nothing but apathy and defiance fueling him onwards.
Life may be full-on chaos sometimes…but damn if it ain’t entertaining too.
