  • Wheel Of Misfortune

    January 20, 2010 — With 591 words & Read — Labelled as: Story
    John Cady and John Dones had one thing in common, they were both on a rip-off version of the Wheel of fortune.
    The only difference was John Cady presented the show and John Dones was one of the three contestants, which was bound to lead to some confusion.
    “Give it a spin John.”, John said to John that somehow managed to get onto the show.
    John gave the wheel a firm spin and everyone in the studio and at home watched and waited for it to land on a set of points.
    John smiled into the camera and said in his well practiced presenter voice, “€550 points, what do you want to do.”
    “I would like an O, because it floats best.”, John said while nodding yes with his head the entire time.
    “Let’s count them off.”, John said and turned towards the big puzzle board and watched a young woman in a tight dress turn around two more letters.
    “Give it another go!” John cheerfully said.
    John gave the wheel another good spin and they watched the points pass by the arrow until it stopped at €300.
    The camera went from one depressed looking face to another, and went back to the presenter, “Okay, what’s your next move.”
    “I would like to buy an E John.”, John said to John.
    “Let’s count them off!” John said with a cheerful voice.
    The young woman turned around five more letters and almost the entire sentence was visible.
    “€4500 and that big cash price, what do you want to do?” John asked John.
    Everyone watched John as he was clearly giving it a lot of thought, the veins on the side of his head were throbbing but came to a stop when he had figured out what he wanted, “Spin!”
    John gave the wheel another spin and it passed the €5000 slice twice then passed the bankrupt and lose a turn slices, and after those it seemed to be moving in slow motion.
    Everyone was on the edge of their seats as it had almost come to a complete stop at the €5000 prize the arrow seemed stuck on the small pin and John was hoping it wouldn’t go the the right side, but it did.
    The studio went wild, people began cheering like crazy, John was confused but began to act happy.
    “Well, John I have some bad news for you. You landed on punishment. And we all know what that means.”, John announced.
    The crowd got even more wild up, “No I don’t know what that means.”, John said with a slight fear in his voice.
    A thrilling tune began to play, and the lights danced around the stage.
    Someone came down from above, holstered in a body suit he slowly came down.
    It was a clown dressed up as a cowboy, he took a big gulp from his whiskey bottle and said, “sToo bad sJohn, you slose, sloser!” Followed by some hideous laughter.
    He looked a bit tipsy, and had trouble standing on his legs, but managed to pick the gun from his belt and shot John in the face.
    Clearly a bit drink because of the guilt he felt of killing a contestant every day.
    The cowboy clown got pulled back up threw up all over the wheel of fortune.
    After a while the crowd settled down and the camera was on John, “That was the show for today, have a nice evening and tune back in tomorrow for another exciting Wheel of misfortune!”
    John still had no idea what the rules to the game were, but still went home with €4500, which he used to buy a pig farm in the Himalayas.
