I read Evan Hunters novel The Last Spin. It`s a brief story of two men, playing russian roulette in some basement.

Danny and Tigo belonged to different clubs, and they did not had any bad blood between themselves. In fact they were strangers to each others, before this ” event”. Tigo wanted to go first because he wanted to get that thing over with. Eventually Tigo and Danny get to know each  other, during the game. And they find out that there is many things in common between these two. After two rounds Tigo added one extra bullet to the gun. The stakes were getting higher, as the game continued. It`s hard to say why these men hadn`t never met before. Ultimately they decide to add a one more extra bullet to the gun. Colloquial language was much used in this novel, and it really made it more realistic. The ending of this novel is very ironic, but somehow so predictable. After adding the third bullet to the gun, it was Tigos turn. 50% change to die,  really made these two men  to show their feelings and they become friends. ”Click”  Tigo was safe. Right afrter that click they promised each others that this would be the last round, and after this they would establish their own gansterclub. Finally it was time for the final spin and that spin went (surprisingly) to Danny. The cylinder stopped and Danny smiled to Tigo and ”Bang”, Danny shot his brains out. After the shot Danny`s head rested on the table and shocked  Tigo began to weep.

The novel was very sad and ironic, but I liked it. It really gave me something to think about.
