“How do you play?” A little boy asked, curiously.

“This ain’t no game you play,” he scoffed, insulted. “You gots ta listen to da dice to know what bout to ‘appen. Speak the right numba and ya wins more dan money. Ya wins life.” He slammed the cup down hard onto the table between them and shouted, “EIGHTEEN!” He lifted the cup and smiled, revealing the dice.
“Wow…” The boy whispered.
Fate’s Dice is a reminder of chaos and chance, but not just its presence in our life. Fate’s Dice speaks of it in spaces where its randomness, and the increased risk of failure, is without danger.
