100 Words: On Luck

Luck’s all in the mind, of course.  As anyone who’s narrowly avoided death will confirm.   “I wasn't lucky to have been in the accident,”  they might say.  

Yet, if you win the lottery, you will be also be considered lucky; for luck has nothing to do with action.

Even if it was manufactured, luck would not be guaranteed; it would only increase your chances, surely- a hipflask in your breast pocket will only save your life if you are shot there.  
So, really, when you look at, all you can say is I couldn’t think of a story this week.

100 Words: Clover

I grow my own luck, cultivating it in batches.   It’s just a matter of genes and blending the right ones to gain an endless supply of multi-leafed clovers.

I’m in the Guinness Book of Records, but that was just a bonus because that 56 leafed puppy was one hell of a lucky plant.  It was while wearing it on my lapel that I both bought the winning ticket and met my wife to boot.

Each and every one does a little something, though, from a four leaf good day and up, each extra leaf adding an extra sheen or sparkle.
