David<~~~~~~~~~~~FOOL!
I break the seal on the wrapper of cards, and open the box. I take out the jokers and discard them, I won't be needing them. I throw away the rules and thumb thru the deck. I start building. Balancing first two cards against each other. Then adding on to it to form a first level. Anxious, I start on the second level. Is it too early to build my House of Cards so tall? I press on, and almost finish the second floor when the phone rings. I can hear what she tells me very clearly. And the cards come tumbling down. The hope of what I could build is now a random pile of suits, some face up, some face down. All spread flat across the floor. I shouldn't have thrown away the rules, and come to find out, the Joker is me.
