The Gamekeeper is Waiting.

Step right up. The Gamekeeper is waiting. 🎪

You’ve seen the lights, heard the music, and watched the wheel spin. Surely you’ve convinced yourself that you’re brave enough to find the winning combination.

That’s always my favorite part. Watching you believe you’re going to win my silly games.

I know every trick these games have to offer. I know which levers to pull, which bells to ring, and exactly when to let you think you’re getting close. So close it almost hurts. No, it does hurt, you think.

You play. And play. Looking like such a fool.

I watch. Patiently. Like a snake waiting to strike from the darkest of shadows.

And when you think you’ve made it. You believe you won. I get to rip your precious little victory from your petulant little hands. All of your winnings are mine. All of your hard work is gone. In the blink of an eye.

Don’t blame the carnival, darling. You agreed to play.

Besides, watching someone fail is far more satisfying than watching them win.
