The thing about luck

By Mason Williams
Born 1999, M, from Georgia, United States


The thing about luck is you will never know when it happens, it is inevitable. Luck is the kind of thing that you can't track but luck is always on my side. Some call me the luckiest man on the planet, others say I'm the worst bad luck charm they have ever seen.Let me take you to where it kind of started in the police station downtown. “ I did not ask for that, I asked for your name,” the police officer proclaimed.“ Oh my name my name is chance chance fortune and don't you forget it”. “ so there you know my name now what do you need”. "I need to know what happened”. So there I was in the bedding of a five story automated lighting and rgb lights casino. The Great Bed is the name.I was doing my thing winning but then i went to a table with a guy.He had a streak i will tell you.So back to what i was saying this guy was very persistent he never lost but never won. “ how did he never win if he never lost?” the police officer asked.He was a cheater and a great one until I came around.So look what happened was i got sat by a waiter at the BlackJack table.When i was sat i offered poker chips but i had brought my own so there was no point.I wait a round and guess who won mr cheater we will call him berry.So the next round started and i'm ready got my lucky chip and i'm ready to go.Then berry screams”Hay why are his chips different!”The waiter tries to calm her and say”he brought his own”.Now the round is about to start.First hand I get is a Black Jack. “how did you get that?” the officer asks.” I get them every time I have never not gotten a black jack.” So then I of course because I have the best hand in the game I go all in but so does Barry. Then everyone goes all in.Then i see it his hand is on a button or a phone he is using to text them .The folding starts every body but me and berry fold.So im waiting to see his next move then he calls it”hit”.Then i see queen of hearts.Then he we flip and i see a ace and a 4 he lost and i get all the chip but he was not happy not one little bit.

An enjoyable read.
