    A mild mannered working man one day hears a voice in his head whispering, “Give up everything and go to the casino!”
    . The man is a little freaked out, but he puts it down to stress and ignores it. But the voice is there every day, day in and day out, not giving him a moments peace, whispering in his head, “Sell everything you own and go to the casino!”
    .
    This goes on for weeks, months. “Take all your money to the casino…it is your destiny!” Finally he can’t take it any more, it’s driving him mad. He can’t sleep, he can’t eat, he can’t concentrate on anything. So he gives in and sells his house, his car, his worldly possessions, everything, and takes the money to the local casino. He bursts in the door like a wild man and yells out, “OK! I’m here! Now what ?!”
    .
    The voice whispers, “take all your money to the roulette table and bet on 15 black.” The man shouts back, “Why should I ?!” The voice responds, “Do this, and you will have your answers!”
    .
    Weaving and stumbling, he stalks over to the roulette table and puts a bet down, all his money on earth, on 15 black. The ball drops, the roulette wheel spins, around and around it goes. The man watches it with feverish intensity, around and around, until finally the ball stops on…2 red.
    .
    The voice in his head whispers, “…fuck!”
