Making The Bet

'May... that's exactly when I came back. ' I thought. 'I must stop believing it is a coincidence...'

"Sir, will you be paying with card or cash?" the of the waitress brought me back to the present. 

I blinked, shaking off the distraction. "Cash," I replied, slipping my wallet out and handing over the payment.

Once everything was settled, I thanked her and walked out into the chill Las Vegas evening.

The cool air did little to clear my mind, as I slowly carried myself back to the hotel, my mind went into fifth gear.

Was the strange change in the galaxy's name the only difference I had noticed so far, or had I simply overlooked other changes?

"Chinese influence... Asian influence..." I started muttering to myself, " Shit..." I froze in place on the wide Las Vegas sidewalk, watching the people passing by me in both directions.
