A Gambler, A Waitress and an Auction. He is as far from being a gentleman as the toad from being a prince; but she will still fall prey to his abhorrent guile for as long as he gets away with it. Yet, change can sometimes offer itself in the most fitting manner. The realm of Carnival is a magical, enchanting, and lustful place. It is vast and vibrant with no two flavours in clash or discrimination. It is, as its name suggests, a place where everyone and everything is welcome… but it can also be dangerous. From within the walls of its lounge bar ‘ Y Lolfa ’, this second short story heeds a warning to those who think themselves above its order. This is part of the series, Tales from Within . All works of this series explore concepts some readers may find offensive and disturbing. Discretion is strongly advised.
This short story follows a gambler, a waitress and an auction.. finding himself in hard times, unable to pay back his debt .. he must obey what’s in store for him and be auctioned… but who will he fall into the hands of?
Our waitress is a very likeable character (with a GREAT name) but appears to be cast under the gamblers spell .. what entails during the auction is nothing less than surprising!
Very enjoyable story, I wanted to read on and find out more
