You decide to watch the man, curious to see what the fuss is about. You notice the other arm wrestler is easily two heads taller than your silent-faced friend. The two men are evenly matched, and the crowd cheers harder as they put their whole weight behind their arms. Despite the hood, you can smell whiskey and cigar smoke coming from your companion’s direction.Suddenly, someone screams from the crowd, causing the hooded man to jolt, which throws his arm back just enough for the taller opponent to pin and shake his hand in victory.
