This Happened in Vegas

Maybe it was curiosity. Maybe it was boredom. Maybe it was an experiment. Or maybe I was actually feeling lustful.

Naw, it couldn’t have been that.

Snap, snap, snap went the little cards as the short man slapped them against each other. He wore a black baseball cap with no logo on it, a large green T-shirt, and baggy pants. He stood on the corner of an intersection aggressively handing his cards, one by one, to the drunken passersby. Most of them either ignored him or grabbed the proffered card and immediately let it fall to the sidewalk. For this reason the sidewalk around the man with the cards was very nearly papered over.
