No Mercy
Every Wednesday night our family plays uno no mercy. It’s been in our family for many generations and we continue the tradition. As I separate the deck evenly between us I set the final deck in the middle of the table to start the game. The first card on the table is a red one, so I place a red four card. I notice a shadow in the hallway coming closer and closer as each one of us place down a red card. I start to become very anxious, then someone lays down a plus four and chooses red, which doesn’t change anything since we were already playing red. I place down a red eight and see the shadow again, it comes behind jade and twists her neck. She slumps in her chair with no pulse, I quickly took everyone’s cards and shuffled them and put them back in the box where they were and threw them in the fireplace to watch them burn. Our family started a new tradition with another uno game that has a little mercy.
