It is said in every city, every town, there is a shop. No one knows how long that shop has been there, nor when it will disappear and inevitably reappear. This shop is filled with all sorts of knick-knacks, antiques, books, clothing; anything and everything you could ever want or need. The shop keeper is quiet yet friendly, glad to help in any way that is needed. Yet beyond the front, the snow globes and jewelry and bits and baubles, there is something more the owner can do for you.

All you need to know are the rules, how to ask, and a die.

Second place winner for the Quills and Sofas Speedwriting Hot Off The Press contest with the prompt ‘Roll The Dice’. Written in 3 hours and presented here with minimal editing and expansion.
