Ace of Hearts - 20 Sided Dice
Manhattan Island, Seventeen
It rolls
Across the table
A jumble of angles
Thousands of degrees
An Icosahedron in motion
Moist palms anticipating
We wait
The six of us
Hunched forward
With no faltering
With no sense of resignation
No weariness
Shining eyes knees shaking
Drinking sugared soda from the can
East River breezes float through curtains
Carrying Canadian air
Against the table
Affecting our outcome
Infinitesimally
As still in flux
The die rolls towards certain resolution
One outcome
Of twenty
Only twenty!

NERDDDDDD
Enjoyable! But what is the context? 6 implies DnD, but you can use a d20 for...other things, right?
A Zen Koan:
What is nerdier than Dungeons and Dragons?
Once you know the answer to this, your own question will be answered, my friend.
