class and career

"I'll bet my class and my career, how much do I get with that?"

Amanda looks at the two proudly, waiting to see where it will go.

"What's your career?" The fiery one asked.

"I'm the CEO of Biogenerics, a research lab in stem cells and CRISPR."

The two women looked at each others, and Amanda was quite happy to get them react like that in front of her successful career.

"A hundred of thousand chips for the career, and twenty, one hundred chips."

This time, Amanda was quite offended by what she got.

"Just one hundred thousand for my career?!" She shouted.

"You want to bet your career, does it really matter how much you get to do that?"

"... I guess, but still..." Amanda mumbled annoyed. "How does it work?"

"As long as you have more than half of your career value, it won't change much, but after that, you'll start to lose control of your career."

Still not buying the act, the woman just said. "OooOo, scary..." Before walking away.

Spotting a poker table, a game for high stake players, she went to it and asked if she could take a seat.

"Yeah, sure. I feel lucky today." Some washed up rockstar told her.

Not taking much consideration about the "chaos poker" sign next to the table.

Other than the rock star, she was apparently against some tattooed bimbo with too much plastic surgery, and a muscular guy in some sort of cowboy attire.

She put some of her chips on the table and started playing. The game started slowly, but the bets grew higher and by bad luck the threshold of fifty thousand got passed.

That's when she started to notice the bimbo grow muscles while the man in front of her was shrinking. The rockstar got better clothes, more clean. It was starting to scare her, seeing things she couldn't explain. Little did she know, the chaos poker is made to shuffle the tokens between the players, exchanging their bet between them.

As she was losing bit by bit, she tried to remember her job, she knew she worked in a lab, but, to do what she was having a hard time to remember. She didn't want to stop, too scared to lose everything she worked on. And at the same time, there was the thrill of maybe losing it all. It wasn't just money this time, it was basically her life, that fear was making her feel so alive. She even put the token of her class on the table.

Then she got a few good hands, and got some chips back... except it wasn't hers and her memories changed more...

What does she remember?

1. A "career" as a rockstar who never got really successful and now just make some small concert in biker bars
2. A career as a prolific pornstar
3. A career as an influencer
4. A career as a cheap hooker
