The Passion of the Gambler and his Murderous Shadow
February 15, 2016
The year was 1962 and the Gambler’s life is just about to take a turn for the worse. He was 23 years old and had just graduated from Harvard with a 4.0. He has never consumed a drop of Alcohol and has never touched a drug of any kind. The Gambler was only interested in one obvious hobby. Gambling. Making money any way he could, this included scamming people and pick-pocketing people to obtain more goods. One thing mysteriously lurked behind him and watched his every move. This was not a person, not a living being at all, this was his very own shadow.
