Pool today

Today a friend of mine (senior) asked me out to play pool with him.
Most unusual of him to "jio" me out for a game of pool ever since I showed him my skill with a cue.

Indeed, it turned out that something troubled him, made him sad, said he.
He wanted to "wreck" the balls, claimed he.

However, things did not turn out the way he wanted, I hardly gave him a chance at wrecking the ball...
Even though Im rusty in pool after not being in touched with it for quite some time, I can tell from the way he was playing that I'm going to win .
I can see he's distracted, not being able to concentrate, his shot was headless, aiming at an obvious pot without hitting it in.

For me, I played my best, along the way, prompting him to tell off his unhappiness, hoping to brighten him up a bit.

The score went 6-3 in the end of one and the half hour session of pool with him.
After the game, he told me, "I feel a bit happy now after playing with you."

His sentence certainly did not make much sense to me. But I'm still glad that he is stepping out from the sadness he arrived with.

Certainly, I hope for the best for him, to clear his troubles soon and smile again.
He had always been a cheerful guy since I known him.

with regards,
zhaoru.
