You're Gonna Love this Place!
Vocal Community Microfiction Series - Wander
My seatmate, Karl, was ecstatic. "Oh, you're gonna love this place! Food, entertainment, everything here is top notch."
"I'm only here for-"
"Business?" Karl howled and slapped his knee. "Me too kid! But you gotta make room for life!"
"Ah..." I smiled and tried to excuse myself, but then,"-wait a minute." I pointed. "Is that-?"
"Yep!"
Lined up against a wall stood a flashing row of slot machines. Two of them were already occupied.
"But we just got off the plane!" I cried.
Karl's laughter boomed throughout the airport.
"Welcome to Vegas, baby!"

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Nice one, Loryne!
Good one. I like the dialogue. And no, I've never been. My only slotting was done at Woodbine and Rama.
And I second Mike's suggestion!
So true! Pam and I went there once - for a wedding. I made it through the entire trip without dropping a single coin. I did once win $80 on a quarter at a gas station in Winnemucca, though! lol
Excellent, nearly there , you should index these in an anthology post and then self publish them
Haha, I love the way you told this through dialogue! I could really picture these characters.
Lol, that's a big nope for me. I get addicted to stuff easily so I'd rather stay away from things that can cause addiction. Loved your story!
Never did understand the lure of slot machines. I mean, yeah, I could stand & play Pachinko for hours. But we owned the game & it didn't cost me a penny.
