🎰 The Roulette of Oblivion
On the outskirts of Las Vegas, hidden among dunes and dimmed neon lights, there was a casino that appeared on no map: The Oblivion. Its façade was elegant but faded, as if time itself had forgotten it. It only opened its doors at midnight, and only to those who had lost something important… though they didn’t always know what.
One Halloween night, a young man named Elias arrived seeking fortune. Inside, the air was thick, heavy with secrets. Slot machines whispered names. The roulette spun on its own. The dealers had no faces—only golden masks with frozen smiles.
Elias sat at a blackjack table. The stakes: his memories. Each card he received erased a piece of his past. First his first love, then his mother’s face, then his own name. But he kept winning. Black chips with strange symbols piled up in front of him.
When he reached the roulette, a woman in velvet purple invited him to spin. “If it lands on 13, you’ll get everything back. If not… you’ll stay here.” Elias spun. The wheel turned. And turned. And turned.
It never stopped.
They say Elias is now part of the casino. Sometimes he appears in the bathroom mirrors, or on the slot machine screens, staring with empty eyes. The Oblivion remains open, waiting for those who have something to lose… and don’t know how much.
