The gentleman pool shark entered, impeccably dressed in a smart tweed jacket and bowler hat. He walked over to the stack of quarters lying on the table’s edge and placed five crisp one hundred dollar bills. The jukebox went quiet and no one got up to feed it. Jimmy only got one shot in ‘the break’ before the gentleman pool shark sunk every ball on the table. Jimmy reached for his leather jacket. In one pocket, there was an empty wallet. In the other, there was a deer gutting knife.
