Prompt: It was the highest stakes game of rock-paper-scissors ever played.
It was a warm summer evening, and the air was thick with tension. The two players sat across from each other at a small table, their eyes locked in a fierce gaze. Between them lay a small pile of coins, representing the highest stakes game of rock-paper-scissors ever played.
The first player was a tall, burly man with a bushy beard and a wild look in his eyes. He was known as the reigning champion of the local rock-paper-scissors circuit, having defeated all challengers who dared to step up against him.
The second player was a slight, unassuming woman with long dark hair and a quiet confidence about her. She had come out of nowhere to challenge the champion, and no one knew anything about her except that she had never lost a game of rock-paper-scissors in her life.
The tension was palpable as the two players began to play. The first round was a draw, with both players choosing rock. The second round was also a draw, with both players choosing scissors.
As the game continued, the tension only grew. The players were evenly matched, each one anticipating with the other's moves and countering them with lightning-fast reflexes.
The crowd around the table grew larger and more frenzied, cheering on their favourite player and shouting advice at the top of their lungs.
As the game wore on, the players' faces grew increasingly strained, sweat pouring down their forehead as they struggled to outmanoeuvre each other.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the moment of truth arrived. The players both chose their moves at the same time, and the room fell silent as they revealed their hands.
The champion had chosen rock, and the woman had chosen paper.
The room erupted in cheers as the woman was declared the winner of the highest stakes game of rock-paper-scissors ever played. The champion looked stunned, his face a mask of disbelief as he counted out the coins and handed them over to his victorious opponent.
As the crowd dispersed and the players went their separate ways, the memory of that game lingered on in the minds of all who had witnessed it. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated excitement and drama, and one that would be remembered for years to come.
