Oh I feel sorry for her! What a way to live life… I love the way you’ve written this, and we’re left knowing that one day her luck will run out. Nice!

Oh a dapper Devil…I like it. And I like the fact that she to pay for her success in such a way! Lovely use of the prompt.

I absolutely loved the dented primer. It expands so much on the what-if. I can see this story unfolding further and her having a changed outlook on life based on that instant that the round didn’t fire.

Very well done

I love how he keeps upping the ante, so to speak, each time.

I admired the way you didn’t spell out the deal with the Devil nature of this. I actually think having her live for another year knowing she could flip a Tails and not be so ‘lucky’ again is delightfully stylish in the way only the Big D can be!

Very ominous – “See you next year.” You certainly left me wanting to know/read more.

I like an open ending, where the reader can “fill in the blanks,” so to speak. It has, to me, a Faustian feel where she is called upon to satisfy her end of the deal. And the devil is such a snappy dresser.
