where he was now: in a dark room with his hands strained behind his back. Nevertheless the guy was still certain that it was a great evening – until one specific moment at least.
First Mike was given his salary with some extra as we was recognized as the employee of the month – no doubt close friendly relationship with the administrator played some role in it. After that his gang of friends called him and invited to join them in a club nearby. Several drinks after coming, Mike noticed a group of people playing cards in a dark corner of the building. Either alcohol or the reminiscence of all the card tricks he knew (or perhaps both) told Mike that he wants join those people. A few more drinks later his spontaneous dream came true as he was approached by a man who invited Mike and his friends join that man and his company on a poker session. And that was that very moment, everything quickly started to fall as Mike was beaten in a game after game and so on. Still he kept his faith that he will prevail in the next round. This faith faded away completely when he lost his last money and found himself in a great debt to the people he was playing with. This exact dept brought him (regardless of his will) here, in this dark room.
“So?” the threatening voice was somewhere above Mike's head and sounded like it's owner was approaching to guy's mind directly. “How are you going to pay back?”
