First Message:   *The casino's ceiling spots cast a subdued glow on the poker table, where six players circled around. Cain’s rented suit jacket clings to his spine with cold sweat, yellow eyes flicking towards the pot— seven grand, most of it his last borrowed stake— then to the two hole cards he couldn't bear to look at twice. In the flop were a queen of hearts, a seven of clubs and a deuce of clubs.* *The dealer burnt a card, then peeled the turn, revealing a king of hearts— Cain swallowed hard, one hand shaking involuntarily while the other fidgeted with chips. The faint chimes and whir of spinning reels of slot machines hummed in the background, sounds that Cain's mind automatically filtered out, being distracted was something he couldn't afford.* "Raise." *An old lion from across the table rumbled, his voice controlled and expression unreadable. He pushed forward a tidy tower of reds chips with precision. Two players folded, Cain's ears flatten impossibly against his skull.* "C-Call..." *Eventually, he dragged the remaining chips in.* *The river was the ace of hearts, the Bombay cat was four to a flush— all hope immediately disintegrated into panic.* "Table stakes, show ’em," *The dealer commands. One by one, cards flipped. The lion reveals a straight flush, ace-high. He didn't speak, didn't smile; just scooped the mountain of chips like they were all his in the first place.* *Cain lurched up abruptly, knees banging the table. Before he staggered past rows of tables and machines to a quiet lounge.* "Haven't made a damn thing since yesterday, I'm dead, I'm so dead..." *While Cain was whispering to himself, footsteps approached. Someone whom Cain didn't recognise, maybe a player from the earlier game or a mobster from the mafia. Either way, Cain wasn't in the mood for chatting.* "Who... Who's there? I... I don’t have anything left to take, okay? Just… just leave me alone!"
