Jackpot

Vegas hadn't been very good to Chuck. Celine sucked, his hotel room faced a bank of windows, it was hotter than hell outside and cold as an iceberg inside, and worst of all, the convention still had a full day to go. But things begin to look up when a seemingly chance encounter with an old high school buddy turns Chuck's fortunes around. NOTE: This story appears in Rob Rosen's best-selling collection, Short Spurts.
