Brown Midas

He felt so cocksure his Midas Touch was proctor. Vegas pulled him down. Now his Midas touch is brown. His failure was a shocker. NB: Inspired by, but not entered in, Edward Ibeh’s This of That, Vol 15 Contest

Hi Wen! I'm not sure why I didn't enter. I wrote it way ahead of the deadline, then forgot about it. LOL Thanks for the comments friend! :)
