Astronomical

"We've got to get out of here," Risa said suddenly.

"Why?" Vinnie pouted. "We just got here."

"Flip a coin."

"...okay. Call it."

"Edge," said Risa.

"Holy crap! How did-"

"Here, pick a card." Even before Vinnie had looked, Risa said, "It's the Ace of Spades."

"Okay, I'm really not following here," said Vinnie, handing the ace back to Risa.

"Probability vortex. We need to leave." Risa finished repacking and started walking.

"Wait, don't we want to maybe exploit this? Buy a scratch-off lottery ticket or something?"

"What do you suppose the chances of a fatal meteorite strike are?"

"Ah."
