A little luck
Amelia walked into the casino with one thought in mind. This time I’ll win. Amelia has always considered herself unlucky. Rain coming everyday she wanted to go to the park, being late the one day her boss is urgently waiting, and only speeding when there happens to be a cop nearby. Today, however, was going to be different. After all, it was Friday the 13th. Maybe this day was made for her. She would be lucky on a day that’s meant to be unlucky, or maybe she’ll be even more unlucky. She walks up to the slot machine in front of her, puts her money in and pulls the lever. Nothing. She tries again, and again she fails. She feels like an idiot for thinking today would be different, after all it’s just some stupid date, it’s not like this day is different than any other day. She stands up to leave. As she walks out the door, the slot machine starts to shake. It shakes so hard it’s about to burst. People have started to take notice. All of a sudden the machine explodes. Money starts to rain down around the people in the casino. Some start to grab it, and others stand in awe, but Amelia does neither of those things. She gets in her car and drives home without knowing about the mysterious slot machine that was trying to break her curse of bad luck.
