fear, anger, and loathing ripped at Billy’s soul
the torment of his losses haunting his mind
atrocities of the past had to be confronted, defeated
it’s not going down like that, not this time
sweat beads formed on both men’s foreheads
they stared at each other across the way

knowing that he was just a little quicker
his cockiness would be his downfall
neither looked away, fingers twitching, itching
the time had come for one of them to make his move
today, Jackson would kiss the bitter lips of defeat
today, Billy would drink from the goblet of sweet victory
both men swallowed, then Jackson looked down at it, causing Billy to reach

the woman reached in between the two men and stole their prize
snatching the last slice of double cheese pepperoni pizza
Eleanor had made an aggressive, unexpected play
she victoriously scarfed the delicious slice of Italian pie down in three bites
oh Eleanor the Evil, I will break you at next week’s party, Billy glared
