The wrong dice
The dice did not fall in the right places! Shame on the dealers.
Katy had never been very lucky when it came to gambling. She thought that she would try it for the last time and then never do it again if she lost.
It was time for the usual evening “gambling”session in the retirement village. They were not allowed to gamble openly. Mark had arranged for the five friends to meet in his garage. He had some space to put a table, chairs and some candles to light up the place.
All five were sitting around the table waiting for the last throw. Katy took the dice. Shook them and also blew on them.
She threw them. They rolled. One, a two and a one! She could not believe her bad luck again.
She had to take out her dentures, that was all she still owned.

Oh no!!! Loved your little story, Ineke. Who’d have thought- a den of iniquity in a retirement home! 🙂 🙂 Probably just as well she didn’t win.

Maybe there usually is more bad than good luck when gambling.
