A Lucky Coin Novels & Stories

In my past life, my memory had worsened after I'd lent Whitney my luck, and misfortune had followed me everywhere. Even though I still had some of my luck, half had gone to Whitney. That left me with only half. Indeed, my luck wasn't unlimited. Once it was gone, it was over. That was what the fortune-teller had told me, looking deadly serious. So I could only rely on hard work. It didn't bother me because I didn't regret lending my luck to Whitney before. She'd deserved it because she'd given me the warmth I desperately needed at that time. From that moment on, though, we would walk our separate paths.

BAILEY The coin is small, scratched at the edges, and still the most powerful thing I’ve ever held in my hand. I don’t cry when he gives it to me. Not even a little. Leo thanks me with this look in his eyes like I saved his whole world instead of just walking him home. His dad’s coin is real silver—not polished or fancy, but heavy, cold, and mine. He presses it into my palm like he’s scared I’ll refuse it. I don’t. I close my fingers around it and nod once, already feeling something shift inside my chest.

For me, it was a small stuffed elephant Ryan had won for me at a fair when I was four. It was ratty, but clean, and the same good luck charm I’d had with me throughout every single phase of life, from the day he proudly presented it to me at that fair. He was eight at the time, missing a few teeth, and when he handed it over, his chest was swollen with pride for having won it. “Okay, everyone.” Craig’s voice boomed from the front of the massive office—bullpen, I corrected myself mentally. “Insert your name as a username, and a computer-generated password will pop up. You’ll need to change that password to one you’ve chosen yourself before you continue.”

He saw the coin jumping. Believe it or not, this shit scares the hell out of him. Not knowing what to do. He picked up the coin and was about to leave when he saw Sky's necklace slip out of his shirt rising in the air. On the necklace he saw was a familiar coin, the same coin that he had and with words written on it saying "Destiny Coin", realizing that his hands moved to grab that coin, it was too late when suddenly everything went dark… After Earth touched the coin of Sky. At the snap of a finger, he woke up very shocked and he realized that he was in his bed.

Mina asked as she used the restroom. “Why would I take your money? You already know I don’t lose.” Lucky said, looking at Mina in the mirror as she washed her hands. “You never lose when we bet while we are playing games or betting on whether someone will win or lose a game. This is different, this is betting to see if Lahni and Lynn will know you had sex without you saying a word.” Mina said, holding her hand out for Lucky to shake. “When I win, you will have to share every snack you eat with me until I leave to go back home.” Lucky said, trying to shake Mina’s hand but she pulled her hand outta reach.

"Honey, I bought this for you. Here. If I gamble, I'll definitely have good luck, won't I?" I smiled as I took it. "Of course. You'll have all the luck in the world." Then I added, sweetly, "And Honey, you want your parents to be healthy and live long, full lives, don't you?" Clutching the locket and bangle, lost in fantasies of wealth, he replied carelessly, "Of course." That night, I bought him a ticket to a casino notorious for its shady dealings. Through the barrage, I watched it all unfold in real time.

He told me that Kimmy had taken the story online. Kimmy had been cultivating her “office lucky charm” persona online for years and had built a modest following of people who envied her seemingly effortless, well-paid lifestyle. Just then, she posted a new video. She went into detail about how she had uncovered a major management failure and supposedly saved the company from a massive loss. The comment section flooded instantly. [Oh my god! She’s lucky and competent? The office lucky charm is actually real!] [That floor manager got exactly what she deserved. Who tries to take on the office mascot? Enjoy the investigation, loser.]

He had a vaguely cynical brand of humor, but he kept it light. He put down a card that he affirmed to be a six and continued. "So, are you often lucky, My lady?" "I might have been, but what does that matter now?" she rejoined. Two sevens joined the pile, from her hand. "Luck resets all events. For example, the contest, the winner needs skills as well as some amount of luck to win." "Yes, I suppose that's true. A coin isn't more or less likely to land on heads after a streak of nine tails."

I rushed over to my old bag, the one I brought from my hometown, “It has to be here...please be here,” I mumbled as I scanned through the backpack, “Found it,” I smiled, looking at my alleged lucky coin. Mel and I grew up poor but eventually, Mel's family could afford to buy a used television, then a computer, toys, but even at garage sales, we still couldn't. I was digging through junk in the basement, desperately searching for anything I could play with, and that how I found it– my lucky coin.

I say shyly, blushing red, we haven't talked until last night, and I was fighting until now. "Alexie" he says pulling me into his arms, hugging me, kissing my lips. "You won" I say happy for him, he worked, they all did worked so hard for this. "We did, it's all because of you" he says making blush red. "M..Me?" I stutter? "You, you are my Lucky Charms Alexie" he says landing a tender kiss on my lips. THE END. Hope you enjoyed this story. Love Cinderella.
