I roll the dice. I tell the dealer "Hit." I pull the lever and see all the pretty lights scrolling past me. I never used to be like this. I used to be a normal human, going along my life with a stable job, good friends, and a healthy diet. I felt like I was at a pretty good point in my life. One day, a few friends and I went to a casino to celebrate one of our friend's birthday. Simple enough, right? We got a few drinks, gambled a bit, and went home merry, no harm at all. I had never gambled before, but there couldn't have been too much to it, right? 

We started at a poker table. The dealer explained the rules to me and what a "Hit" and a "Stand" meant. My friends were pretty giddy, throwing $100 down at the table instantly and grabbing their poker chips. It was for a good occasion, so I also put $100 down on the table. We got our cards and had some fun. On one turn, I called hit and got 21! I must've won about $1,000 at that table alone! My friends were a little jealous, but it was all in good fun. We left the poker table and went to a roulette table next. I used to see these in movies all the time where the actors would always score big. I figured since I won a lot at poker, I could afford to throw a bit more money here. I put down $250 at the table and called black. The roulette started and the sound of the ball rolling around the spinning roulette was hypnotic. I was enjoying the cheers of the crowd hoping to influence the speed of the ball as it continued spinning. Slowly the ball started jumping around, and it landed on 15, black. I won! It was exhilarating. My friends and I all cheered and drank some more. It was a good day.

Fast forward to today. I keep coming back to this casino, hoping to get the same thrill that I had that day. It might be impossible, but I keep trying. Something is telling me to keep going. So I pull the lever once more.
