Week 6: Story Telling

Tyrone was always jealous of the Vargheses for their achievements they were awarded sought no end. These Vargheses were always winning everything. Life is east and pleasant for them,  Since he could not be the Vargheses in a fight, he thought of other ways to get his revenge. He knew Shaji on of the Vargheses had a gambling probelm. This is where he would strike.

One of Tyrone's good friends Jerome was a great gambler. No one could whether he was bluffing or if actually had anything. People assumed he would be cheating because none wins this constantly. Little did anyone know was that Jerome was an expert at counting cards. So poker was a simple children's game to him. Jerome accepted this challenge because he knew that Shaji did not know how to play poker and that he loved to gamble. He then stated, " For you Tyrone, Everything Shaji owns will be yours..His massive house in Gaillardia. His vast sea of gold he keeps,favorite wife Lysol, and everything he values will all be yours."

Tyrone loved the idea. So he went to his father, Ramone , to see if he could invite Shaji over to play a friendly game of cards. His counselors urged him to say no. they warned, "Thou Shaji may be a rich man...He is a savage beast who will not hesitate to beat a man.".Yet King Ramone agreed to Tyrone's idea and invite the Vargheses over.

When the Vargheses arrived they were amazed they had never seen a town like this. .There lights every flashing on and off. The city was bright, vibrant, and buzzing with activity. "So this is Las Vegas, It is quite different fro Gaillardia" said Shaji.  Lysol then responded, " Tyrone said to meet them in Caesars Palace." Eventually they found the Casino they were looking for. As they entered they were amazed that the Palace had no one inside. Then in the center was single poker table, Shaji sat down, Out from the dark came Tyrone and Jerome and other man, "Welcome to Sin city, I reserved all of Caesars Palace for this one event, "  said Tyrone.


As they sat down Jerome explained the rules of poker. He stated that his friend, Justin the ruler of Kansas, would be dealing the cards. Shaji accepted. Game after game, Shaji kept losing and Jerome kept winning, Jerome knew that Shaji's wealth was so massive that it take years to gamble it away. So he moved on to material things. "Lets make things interesting," he said.  Shaji again accepted. He lost his mansion, thousands of Mercedes Benz, and even sold his daughter Nimmy to be married to Justin the King of Kansas. The other Vargheses and his wife Lysol were shocked and told him to stop. He then said, " I will do one more hand."  Jerome agreed saying," Since this is the last hand, I will give you everything you have lost if you win but you must wager the freedom of your second daughter Nithi." They both shook  hands and agreed on the conditions. The next hand sealed Nithi's fate for Shaji lost and Nithi became Tyrone's slave.

  1. This story made me laugh sooo much! Shaji as a gambler HAHAHAHA That's too much! Of course you would make Nithi your slave. That's just the way it has always been hehe. Kuriakose you really have to start proofreading your stories though. Stop writing these at the last minute! I do have a question though. Why is Shaji's wife named Lysol? Please explain.

  2. Oh how cool that you're writing stories about your friends! Curious that the favorite wife's name was Lysol- though I often struggle with character names myself, so I can see how if a can of Lysol was nearby... Anyway! I would definitely recommend proofreading your stories just to get the little errors out- but past that, you have a really interesting setting and retelling of the game of dice story.

  3. Wow. What a story. I was immediately drawn in since I am from Las Vegas. Caesar's Palace is my favorite casino. They decorated it so creatively. I also am curious about Lysol as the name of the wife. I would suggest writing a little bit longer of an Author's Note that gives the summary of the orginal story. Also, definitely give your stories a once-over to get the little details and grammar errors smoothed out. Besides that, this was a great story and shows a lot of imagination.
