The Voices Say

Summary

Enjoy short stories by Mace Styx:

Most often were those inner thoughts that were full of hate. And just like any other ordinary bloke who obtained such remarkable skill, I used it to gain some practical advantage for my daily needs and leisure. With an ability to hear thoughts, winning on a poker game was a breeze. It was quite handy for picking up women as well, and it was easy to impress other people by presenting it as some kind of magic or a trick. But there was no trick whatsoever. Even if I didn’t want to, I would keep on hearing their thoughts as long as they were in a close perimeter.

I decided to quit my day job and relied mainly on gambling for money. I thought that there was no point in keeping it when I could earn my monthly pay on a single night pretty easily. Nothing could be more addicting than to gamble while knowing that you would always win. I lived a fancy life for a few days before I got banned from the casinos because of my suspicious winning streak. I ended up playing in underground houses. Unfortunately, constantly winning in every sessions have brought serious troubles for me.
