REALITY REVISED #2: LUCK OF THE DRAW

Against their better judgment, six men sat down to play Russian roulette, and by the end of their game, seven were alive.

"I've seen this happen before," the new player spoke. He was sprawled nude across their table, having just splattered into being with a loud bang. "Whoever loaded your gun knew how to cheat at this ugly ol' game. Must've used a negative bullet."

As the shock subsided, one of the original sextet finally spoke: “Just who the hell are you supposed to be? And what the hell is a negative bullet?"

"Oh, do not worry, friend. You've never known a fool like me, I'll see myself out in a moment. Just, think about what a bullet does to a man. Think about what the opposite of that would be. Sure, it ruins the whole purpose of the game, but I'm not complaining. Last time I played, I lost everything. Guess I broke even."


Reality Revised is a new series under the Greater Reality Area banner of Uel's works from past publications, including North of Reality, some of which will be modified from their original version to taste.
