The Game
What do you want?
You want to have the quickest hand, the fastest eye. You want to be the best, to know everything, inside and out. To be so good that people see you play and know, just know, how good you are. You want them to say to themselves that if this was real life, you'd be the one on top.
Because, deep down, you know this isn't real life.
Deep down, you know that in real life, you are the one on the bottom.
But in the game, in the game, you are the one.
And for that brief time the game is on, you can forget all about that.
And be the winner.
