Benny sat the chess board on the table and placed the pieces.
Larry had always said that they were playing “The game of kings” as the pieces settled on the board
“Then why are we playing?” Benny always answered back.
The board set, Benny pulled out the ouija, placed his hands on the teardrop shaped pointer and thought of his friend. “You first,” he said.
The pointer moved, letter to letter, allowing Benny to construct the words.
“Queen’s pawn to D4,” the board spelled out.
Benny smiled, knowing that would be his friend’s first move. Same ole Larry, he thought.
