Three of them parked like omens at third base, first base, and center seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third base had a blowout, diamonds, and a laugh that sounded like a car alarm. First base dragged in her side piece who called me \u201cbuddy\u201d the way a dude says <em>please let me feel like a bigger man<\/em>. Center seat was a silk-scarf ice queen with dead eyes, the kind of dead that comes from a lifetime of never hearing no. They were the type that order top shelf and tip in lint, the type who ask if the rules change for people with yachts. They say hit on sixteen against a dealer 6 because math is for peasants, then they blame the dealer when God sends a face card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gabroverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gabro-dealing-cards-to-rich-bitches-at-modern-private-gm-1-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"gabro, a suave casino dealer with a beard and sunglasses, wearing a long-sleeve white shirt and black vest, deals cards under the golden glow of a chandelier at the modern day casino.

Not poetic. A real, soft breath, the kind buildings take when midnight tips over. The chandelier above my table sighed like it had been waiting all night to do something messy. A slot spit a spark. One hook uncurled like a finger learning to point. I looked up and thought, not tonight, I look too damn good in this vest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hook thought otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It didn\u2019t smash me like a hammer; it pressed me like a decision. Crystals sang. Weight hit my shoulders, chest, hips, and pushed me straight through the felt, through the wood, through the concrete that shrugged like it had an evening plan. The carpet closed over my head like a curtain. Air went cold and tasted like coins, duct dust, and asbestos. I fell into the crawlspace under reality, swearing like a choir and laughing the way you laugh right before you do something incredibly stupid or incredibly brave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gabroverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/chandelier-falls-on-gabro-falling-through-hole-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"gabro, wearing a long-sleeve white shirt and black vest, falls backward through a cracked casino floor as a massive chandelier drops above him, scattering glowing crystals and sparks across the smoky room.

Light went from corporate LED to hand-blown neon spelling STARFADE in wet blood neon. My cuffs had more attitude. My vest grew lapels shaped like a threat. The chips were heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A calendar behind the pit said Monday, October 31, 1977. Halloween. Starfade Casino, Chicago Outfit cousins, the kind of place where the receipts smile and the books blush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDeal pretty,\u201d said the pit boss, sliding out of the fog with a carnation and a grin that could baptize or bury.

I dealt. Because when the ceiling breathes and the floor lies, I still have a job. Because I\u2019m soft like a kiss but sharp like a blade. Because casinos respect a man who can be two things at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cards cracked. Laughter slithered. The lounge singer passed in a red dress and made the room blink. VERA LUNE on the marquee, hair perfect, mouth winter-cherry, voice like a silk rope. She brushed my sleeve on purpose or by blessing and left a matchbook on my table without looking down. Inside, in blocky blue ink: <strong>Breathe. Do not drown.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I breathed. I didn\u2019t drown. And Starfade began to eat me politely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mob Vegas is simple until it\u2019s not. The count room hums like a stomach digesting stolen oranges. Dice get heated like lovers. The eye in the sky blinks yes twice, no once. Security smells like mint and gun oil. The wash runs through craps because noise is the prettiest alibi. The skim never meets daylight. Upstairs whales ask for markers and call it faith. Everyone smokes like penance. Everyone laughs like prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gabroverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gabro-dealing-77-starfade-vera-singing-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"gabro, the confident 1977 dealer, stands at a smoky blackjack table dealing cards under the neon glow of the STARFADE sign.

The shoe carried crown-back cards the color of a bitten lip. Two men in suits sewn from other men\u2019s regrets, one woman in diamonds heavy enough to tilt the room, and an old timer with a tiger ring tapping the rail like he was knocking on a coffin he planned to climb out of. The air tasted like rye, cocaine, lipstick, absolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKeep the shoe pretty,\u201d Rocco said, mob speak for cheat the customer without exposing yourself. \u201cThe sky likes pretty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vent rattled, the sky coughed like a god with a hangover. I kept the shoe clean, because my first lie in any room is that I behave and follow the rules. The whales lucked into wins they didn\u2019t earn, the diamond woman took hers on purpose, and Rocco\u2019s carnation drooped a millimeter, his little tell when the house is annoyed. The tiger watched, steady and tired, eyes measuring my hands, deciding whether I was brave or stupid. From the lounge, Vera slid a torch song across the felt, a hymn about knives and memory that shut the room up. I believed every word, and so did they.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gabroverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gabro-77-dealing-mobsters-lady-vera-in-background-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"gabro, wearing sunglasses and a sharp black vest with long sleeves, deals cards at the high-stakes Ruby Room table inside the Starfade Casino.

A breath in the ducts, Lake Mead and rubber. A ripple in the chandelier\u2019s shadow. The ceiling took a long inhale, satisfied. The floor opened its mouth like a polite murder. I fell up through felt and carpet into my modern pit. Same bitches, same bullshit, same breath. The chandelier sparkled like a slut in church. I dusted my vest and finished the down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is a horror story, it doesn\u2019t announce itself.

Instead, morning snapped in like a stage light and I was in a room that turned into a time capsule whenever I blinked. Old carpet. Drafty window. Lounge matchbook on the nightstand. The strip outside looked shorter and meaner. The clock ticked like a metronome for trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I walked to work, 1977 me did not own a car, and everything was the same each day. Same door boys. Same bartender polishing the same glass like it owed him money. Same ice queen, same bachelorette, same buddy at first. The tiger rolled a green like a rosary. The eye blinked yes twice. The chandelier sighed in the same damn spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gabroverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/gabro-inside-room-walking-into-work-1977-vegas-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"gabro, wearing sunglasses and a sharp black vest with long sleeves, deals cards at the high-stakes Ruby Room table inside the Starfade Casino.

I call the number in my matchbook and leave the receiver under the count-room vent so the building hears my name, then hears me say forgive yourself. I press the crown-backed burn card to the camera lens until the red prints like a scar. The eye blinks yes, then yes again. The vent exhales lake. The chandelier takes its breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I grab the chain. It burns my palms. I do not stop it, I change the aim. We lean toward the service hatch. Metal screams. Crystals rain.
