I Always Want In

My close toes muddy boots cracking the wood floor walking towards the table. A man offered me a beer I accepted. We talked while there was yelling and laughter in the background. I hear a man needs one more person for a game of pool there is a prize reward, once I heard money was involved I instantly shot up from my chair and started a conversation with the man. He was shorter than me and hard to see. I asked to join in and he said “you got money”? Oh yeah I do I said to him. I handed him 5 $20 bills and he let me in. Now I’m all about winning games like this and earning free money but this guy was something else. Sitting on the wall studying his game I see he loves to talk and get in your ear. Cigar in hand I walk and play my round got the 4 stripe ball in but couldn’t follow through. He and I went back and forth I made it to the 8 ball I called far right corner and I banked it in. He threw a little tiny fit while I walked out of the bar beer in hand and a extra $200 with it.
