I chose The Last Spin, it’s written by Evan Hunter. The story tells about two guys, Danny and Tigo. They are from two different gangs. Their gans’s have a problem to solve and they chose Danny and Tigo to solve it. They solved it gang’s style; alternately they put the barrel to their temple and pulled the trigger. While they were pulling the trigger they talked to each other and started to like each others. When they decided to stop the game and Danny pulled last time, his wasn’t so lucky anymore and he died.

Danny and Tigo ultimately decided that they shouldn’t pleased their own gang members. They realized they should live their lifes like they want not the way what the others wants. So they stopped ”playing” with the gun and do the final round. But their decision never came true.

The colloquial language I could find in the story was slang. For example ”I dig” = ” I like” or ”chick”= ”girl”. Using slang makes the story more convincing because the clubs or any other people usually don’t speak literary language in the conversation between two equal persons. Also that Hunter use the slang revitalized the short story.
