How I became a millionaire

“John, you is…” Matthew paused to snort loudly, “You is a craby bastard. Roulette? Dumb…” Another snort, “Dumbshit!”

I laughed at my friend, slapping his back a little to hard. “Oh shuts up Matty! Imma… Imma make us rich!” Oh yeah. I was beyond hammered. Like, borderline unconscious. And I had a gun to my head. Oh wow… How did I make it though high school, exactly? Pfft. One of life’s great mysteries I suppose.
