Place your $200 on Chapter Eleven
From Create Your Own Story
You put your money on Chapter Eleven and hope for the best. A few minutes later, the race begins.
"And they're off! Belly Up breaks well, follwed closely by Cash Withdrawl. Eye O'You is lurking and Second Mortgage is in fourth. They approach the quarter pole with Ninety Day Note making a push on the inside. Chapter Eleven is trailing badly as thy pass half a mile. Into the turn they come with Eye O'You charging into the lead. Around the bend and into the home stretch we go. Eye O'You is pulling away with Second Mortgage in second. It's Eye O'You crossing the line. Cash Withdrawl is making a charge as Second Mortgage tries to hold him off. And in second it's Second Mortgage by half a length! Cash Withdrawl came on strong at the end but finished just out of the money. Another thriller at the track today, folks!"
Now you have zero dollars. Oh well.
Your landlady is a good-looking, middle-aged, recently widowed woman. Maybe you can find some other way to pay this month's rent... but that's a different story.
The End.
