The game went like any other game of go fish. One person would ask for a card, and they’d either not gain a card from someone else or draw from the deck. Jonathan memorized the amount of cards in a deck when he was only 6. He knew exactly what cards to “fish” and which cards to avoid fishing.
Each one of his cards that he asked for was either exactly what someone had, or not. He didn’t mind that someone didn’t have a certain card, just as long as he got a match.
The goal of the game is to get 13 books have been made. A book are a pair of cards that match. Each round Jonathan was able to get at least one book, so it wouldn’t be long until he won.
As time went on however, Jonathan watched as everyone else started to gain their own books two. It was kinda starting to stress him out.
Then, he constantly got “go fish” from whoever he asked a card for, but he wasn’t asking for cards in his deck. He knew that people could remember what cards other asked and use that to figure out what they have. Jonathan made sure to let them think he had certain cards that wasn’t even in his deck.
By the time Jonathan drew his last card from the deck, he let his strategy go into play. One my one, he laid out his books. He was lucky enough to use the deck and get his cards from that.
“Thirteen! That’s thirteen pairs! I win!” Jonathan said. The other men laid their cards down, with some of them throwing them in anger.
The man in the suit gathered the cards, “It looks like our guest won the first game. As I speak, the changes should arrive to you.” When he mentioned that, Jonathan’s body felt all the changes. His body felt millions of tingles. He looked at his arms and legs and noticed bushes of hair appearing. He then felt his entire body feel like he’s stretching, but it didn’t last long. At this point, he had thicker hair all the way from his feet to his facial. Then his facial hair grew even more, like he became older and forgot to shave. All of a sudden, his senses became enhanced. Everything but his sight and hearing became better. Finally, he felt a tingle around his genitals. He looked in his pants, and saw that his flaccid two inch grew to be around five inches, and it was still flaccid.
“Holy shit! It grew!” Jonathan said.
“Yes, that is the point of the game. We can wait while you take it for a test run if you’d like?”
“No thank you, that’s kinda weird.”
“I understand. Now let me explain the new rules.” This time, he shuffled the deck and passed around the cards. “The same rules apply. You’ll bet on something, and the winner gets half. But, if you quit in the middle of the game, you owe what everyone bet on. That means you can lose your height, age, hair, or anything else. But nothing would happen if you quit now.”
“So you’re giving me an option to quit?”
“Yes sir. Is that a yes, or a no?”
