Gamble

This time I will concentrate. Palms inverted, cupped on the ground. The left moves, the shells hit the walls of the palm. The palms move swiftly. My eyes follow with exigence. The switch was done very smoothly but I caught it. Under the right hand now. The movement is faster. My eyes move with them but the mind stops to follow somewhere. The giggles distract. There! in the right palm still, I hear the shells jiggle. Back in the game. Right...right....left....right...left...left....left. It's in the left, i exclaim. The hands stop. The suspense is killing. But i trust my instincts. The palm is opened to reveal my disqualification...Sheesh! I have been fooled again...
