Odd number and it was chocolate bar, even number and it was an apple.
Johnny rolled the dice.
It stopped on five. Yes!, he thought.
It tipped over onto two.
Johnny nudged it back onto five.
Leaving things to chance was all very well, but self-determination definitely had it’s benefits.

Clever take on the photo. Love it. Except … as anyone in Vegas will tell you, the five and two are on opposite sides of a die. Hmmmm…

I’m not sure anything in the story contradicts that fact. Thanks for reading as always 🙂

To be honest I’m not sure, but you only win a mug so it’s not a disaster if they disqualify you! Just a good excuse for another writing prompt.
