The Last Spin

The last spin is short story which is written by Evan hunter. Story tells about Russian Roulette which is game where the loser are that one who shoot him self first. In the story Danny play against Tigo, who is an enemy.
The story begins when Danny and Tigo sits around the table, and Tigo shows the gun which is Smith & Wesson .38 Police Special. Guys are talking about why game has to play and the reason is that Tigo’s club has ordered that the relations between club and Danny is going to clear that way (So Tigo has nothing to against for Danny). The game starts when Tigo decides to pull trigger first. Both of them are very lucky and they both survive from ”first stage” (1 cartridge in one of the six cylinder). Then next they put one more cartridge, and somehow they survive also that ”stage” and Tigo wants to stop the game and he decides to put one more cartridge to cylinder. Tigo starts first, but only what hears is ”CLIC”. Between The shooting shifts boys talking about their own lives and get to known each others, and they planed to make a boat trip on the lake on Sunday, but before that Danny’s must pull the trigger for the last time. ”The explosion rocked the small basement room”- that’s the sentence, which is written in last chapter in The Last Spin short story by Evan Hunter.

In a story were ironic moment when Danny didn’t dare to close his eyes while he was pulling the trigger, because he feared that Tigo going to do something to him, if he close his eyes.

The narrator in this story is impartial. Story narrator is good I like the way how the plot is told.
