local hero for gambling
bated breath

said
“I’m of the out of town breed, stone steed for these midnight whimsies I carry. Do you want to come or smoke under the awning? I’ll take your money but I’ll be fair about it, sir, I’ll be fair about it.”

it doesn’t get easier as it goes
the man said
I lost my drinking money
to a local legend
