Hello my friends, let me know what you thought about this episode.
Hello, my friend. How is it that you stumbled into my caverns in the abyss? I am ancient. I am forever. And I have been chained down here for a millennia.
SPEAKER_02:Please, please help me.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I'm afraid there's no escape. I can assure you of that. Sooner or later, you all come here. Your dark thoughts brought you here. And for that, you are forever trapped down here.
SPEAKER_02:Please, please let me go. I have a family. I don't know how I got here or what I'm doing. Whatever you are or place this is, I'm sorry. Please, I can't see it's so dark.
SPEAKER_01:Before your suffering begins, I will tell you the tale to master time. Short stories of horror. Tiny tales of the creeping. I will assure you, by the end you'll be screaming with madness.
SPEAKER_02:Please. I swear on your edit. Please just let me go. Please.
SPEAKER_01:Where are my matters? I am a shadow dweller. Here to keep you company until the abyss swallows you whole. I've been here for eons and collected stories that I pass down to you before the darkness takes you. This little ditty is called The Last Hand.
SPEAKER_00:Jack Malone was the kind of guy your mother warned you about. Slick, smug, and always with an ace up his sleeve. Literally. He roamed city to city like a wolf in a three-piece suit, living off the wallets of unlucky suckers who thought they could beat him at cards. He wasn't just good, he was a damn magician. Or maybe something worse.
SPEAKER_04:Well now, that's four fleshes in a row. Either I'm the luckiest bastard in Chicago, or you boys just plain suck. You're cheating, along. Me? Cheating? I'm insulted. You won me, sir. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I hear another poor sap calling my name from the next city.
SPEAKER_00:Next stop, New Orleans. A bar on the edge of town called the Devil's Cut. He liked the sound of that.
SPEAKER_04:What a drinking. Whiskey meat. And a little luck if you got any of that in stock. You'll find more than luck here, stranger. Might even find your end. Yeah, spooky bar talk. I've heard worse in Detroit. Mind if I join you? Depends. You got money. Or just charm and mystery. Oh, I've got everything, including a deck. Care for a game? You look like you couldn't tell a flush from a foot. This'll be quick.
SPEAKER_03:Let's make it interesting. You win. You get whatever you want. Cash, cars, women, hell, even immortality, if that's your thing. Alright, alright. And if you win.
SPEAKER_04:Your soul. Buddy, I sold that thing for a six-pack and a blowjob years ago. Deal.
SPEAKER_00:They played. And Jack cheated. Of course he did. Marked cards, palm switches, the whole nine yards. But every time he thought he had the upper hand.
SPEAKER_03:Son of a bitch.
SPEAKER_04:Fine. Double or nothing.
SPEAKER_03:You're slick, Jack, like an eel covered in oil. But even slick things slip eventually.
SPEAKER_00:Jack laid down a royal flush. Impossible odds. But that's what made him smile. That's what made him think he'd won.
SPEAKER_04:Read him and weep, Grandpa.
SPEAKER_03:Ugly hand. Shame its counterfeit. What the hell is that? Straight flush in your blood. What kind of trick? What the hell are you? You called me Jack. Every time you cheated. Every time you looked a man in the eye and robbed him with a smile. You weren't just playing cards. No, no, this isn't real. This is a nightmare. Nightmares are for the sleeping, Jack. You, you're wide awake. You cheated. I never cheat, I just play to win.
SPEAKER_00:Who in the hell are you?
SPEAKER_03:Oh, I go by many names, Jack. I go back as far as time can remember. All mankind indulges in the seven sins, which makes it easier for me to collect souls when you're already being manipulated. I'm willing to bet that where you're going, there's no amount of cheating that will set you free.
SPEAKER_00:They found Jack's body in the Devil's Cut the next morning. Mouth stretched in a scream, eyes blackened, heart stopped, yet no signs of a struggle.
unknown:What the hell do you think of me?
SPEAKER_01:Intel to be left to be as the caverns of the abyss takes you. Your dark thoughts always lead you to me. So, my friends, until next time, I look forward to tasting your fear. And you have stepped into the abyss.
