The plot thickens; he played the game so timid, so close to victory, tasting a hint of defeat. The game of his life, trashed and trodden beneath unexpected cowardice. Jack Daniels slowly evaporating within the cool glass; nerves growing numb to personal sentiments listening to insensitivity plea for attention. Clinging to that moment, promising something different; feeling the heat of amber ***** eating away the remains of expectations.

Defeat
The plot thickens; he played the game so timid, so close to victory, tasting a hint of defeat. The game of his life, trashed and trodden beneath unexpected cowardice. Jack Daniels slowly evaporating within the cool glass; nerves growing numb to personal sentiments listening to insensitivity plea for attention. Clinging to that moment, promising something different; feeling the heat of amber ***** eating away the remains of expectations.
