I bumped into my upstairs neighbor, Carmella, yesterday and she asked if I would like to visit her online casino on the thirty-third floor. I agreed immediately. I’ve been trying to find a reason to visit her for months, ever since I heard that she lives alone. I also wanted to see the view from her place. Carmella is gorgeous looking with a drop-dead figure, just the sort of woman a single guy like me thinks about. “Good. Come up at about 10 this evening,” she said with a smile. I saw the sign on her door as I came out of the elevator. “Carmella’s Online Gambling Establishment. Come right in!” I did. There must have been about thirty people in there already, standing around with drinks in their hands, talking, looking out at the city below and standing in little knots around laptop computers. Music was playing softly and the lighting was low, making the room feel more like a night-club than an online gambling establishment. I edged closer and saw that the computer was logged into a game of Roulette in a stunning online casino. Then Carmella came walking towards me. She looked devastating in an ice-blue silk dress that didn’t quite cover her but didn’t quite reveal her either. She slid her arm through mine and led me to a small crowd of people who were gathered around a computer which was logged into blackjack. ”I think you’ll enjoy this more. Your username is Friday23. Just enter it and play. I hope you win a million!” She drifted off towards another group of online gamblers. I sat down in front of the computer and logged in using the username Carmella had given me. I picked up a blackjack twice in the first three deals and my credits began to grow slowly but surely. When Carmella came back at about midnight to see how I was doing I was up a couple of thousand and on the way to finding the capital for the new Mercedes sports car I had in mind. “This is wonderful, Pete! Keep going. The online casino never closes, you know! At least this online casino never does!” I played for 24 hours straight and won enough money to pay for the car. As I was leaving and thanking my hostess, she thanked me for coming and said I was welcome in her online gambling establishment any time. And that’s where you’ll find me from now on.
