The Needs Of A Gambling Soul,
written by Whipper
"The only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk..."
I remember quite clearly that there was a time in my life when all I needed was a deck of cards, a drink, someone to play with and, not to forget, a packed suitcase and a fast horse. Of course my goals in life was higher than that; I desired to have everything... preferably at the cost of nothing.
And as I look back I realize that if I come to this little backwater town called Four Corners some five years ago I might have had all of those things that I used to dream about; money, a place of my own... perhaps even a woman to share it all with.
Yet I do not regret coming here.
I live here in Four Corners with very little money. I sleep in a room above a saloon that will never be mine. I have no woman. No children. But I have six friends. Six men that I care about, that I have come to respect and admire.That is more than I ever dared to dream about. These six men have given me so much. They have taught me things about myself, they have taught me to trust myself. To have faith. And I am grateful.
Two years ago I realized that I would give my life to save any of those six men. I became afraid and I almost run. But I kept my promise, my promise to never run from my friends again.
Once all I needed was a deck of cards.
But needs change.
