The light was not taken away from the green window of a glass of poker. Gently reflected off the green felt on the poker table. There was tension in the air as if everyone was holding their breath. Aniela's family business, a small bakery on the corner of the street, was on the brink of bankruptcy.

8:26She still remembered the mornings from her childhood when she baked bread with her mom and the warm smell wafted through the whole house. She couldn't lose that. She had to win.

The first 10th, the second 10th, the second 10th, the second 10th, the first 10th, the second, the queen, the king and the jack. Then the last card came. The hearts of Aniela were still beating faster. Aniela's heart stopped for a moment. Aces, Aces. Aniela had a straight. She won. The whole room erupted in a plaza. Aniela smiled broadly.
