The Cowboy's Table

"Sure, you..." Benjamin starts sayin', still staring into the eyes of the fish, who obviously didn't blink or smile because fish usually can't do that.
"Darn it!" he exclaims as he blinks, and loses. He blinked because Isla surprised him, a little.

"Well, yes. That was what I had in mind," says the cowboy. Saving two young ladies from an evil fish-ray monster. "Regrettably, I failed, as her arm turned into a nonblinking fish, and all the food fell on the ground. "Besides, I was a little too late to actually do anything."

Benjamin wishes that he had more luck.
