“‘Let’s see this 2 birds thing,’ he said—each of us had one ball left in cutthroat. I showed him.”

During our home game of cutthroat pool, where we’re all novice players, I joked that it’d be funny to get "2 birds with 1 stone" for the final shot, especially since it wouldn't be on film. I grew up playing a little more than most, which helps with my approach, but my aim and ball striking wouldn’t hold up in a real pool hall. Ironically, my neighbor, who’s never filmed a shot before, started recording—most solid players could easily make this shot, but for me, it was a lucky moment.
