Today's #flashfiction #ThoughtBlackjack

Hi Ho Hi Ho , Its Off To Work We Go!!”

         Well today I planned out with the Dad the characters he's going to put on a placemat he's going to make for me for those nerdy collectible card games I play(it's a common decoration people use though he's making a custom one as one of his art projects). While I also asked Mom what size she wanted the picture of her dogs drawn by me for her Christmas present. (It may take me awhile, but I did take art in school and one thing I got good at was pencil drawings of pictures, it was our primary skill building thing...though I didn't get much past that haha...and I'm good at stippling[making a picture with a buncha dots, that was one of our other projects])



Thought Blackjack


        When some scientists in some labs invented chips that gave everyone psychic powers the world changed. (Hey, don't blame me for forgetting the scientist's names, unless they become a celebrity like Einstein who really remembers the names of the scientists who comes up with all our stuff?) Everything began to involve the exchange of thoughts.
        This included the world of gambling. Blackjack was replaced with Thought Blackjack. I played Thought Blackjack. I played the normal version of Blackjack. Didn't care much for it. I thought to myself “Hey Ron, Blackjack's blackjack right?” But it ain't. After all one is played with thoughts and one with cards.
In Thought Blackjack a sleeping man lies under the table. (Yeah the casinos pay a man to sleep under the table! Would you believe it?) But everything has to be thought powered these days and the man induced in a deep sleep, I swear he's gotta be drugged or something, is used for his thoughts. Yeah, they pluck thoughts straight from his dreams and deal them like cards in old Blackjack.
       Just like in old Blackjack the player and dealer go back and forth, but instead of cards they draw thoughts. And if the man's having a good dream whoever gets the largest amounts of good thoughts before hitting euphoria wins, if a nightmare it's the other way around. All the thoughts got a degree of points to them. The dream is a massive train of thought. The chaotic train of thought. You can try to “count cards” by predicting the train of thought. Good luck though.
       I'd say they got some similarities. But there is one guaranteed similarity that is actually exactly the same. The house always wins. No matter how chaotic the dreams are the sleeping man is still there's and by their research they set it up so it's in their advantage. The dealer always goes first and starts the train of thought after all.
      So every time I lose my money overall. Can't think of why I keep playing at those tables. Fun? I guess. Because I'm never going to make money when the casino always beats me in the long run. Cards or thoughts I think that's how that's how it's going to be till the end of time.
