Rainy Day Activity or Obsessive Competition?
Once upon a time, at the GVI Amazon rainforest base camp, there were five grown men, with very little to do on a rainy day. “What on earth can we do?” said Matt.
“I know a card game called Yanif”, said Jon. And so the demise of their Amazon lives began. “I have an idea”, yelled Chris, “let’s have a bet to make it more exciting”.
“Like what?” questioned Andy with caution in his voice.
“Maybe the four losers could buy the winner a pizza in Tena”, suggested Guy.
They all agreed that the prize was a lovely idea and so the game begun… “Wait,” thought Jon aloud, “if we have a prize for the winner, we also need a forfeit for the loser.”
“Go on…” said the others with interest.
“Well, how about the loser gets the smallest, most tasteless piece of pizza possible at the meal in Tena?” They looked at each other in silence. They smiled and a dark shadow grew over camp.
Two weeks past and the game still continues… Positions have changed numerous times, but Chris is the one licking his lips at the prospect of a free large pizza, meant for a family of six. Guy and Jon however, rarely smile these days, as they close in on two pieces of dry margarita meant for a baby hamster. How will it end with just a week to go? Who will live happily ever after? And who will fall into the depths of darkness?
