Lucky Streak
In Lucky Streak, Tasha Parker is an ordinary high school student who has spent her life plagued by bad luck-until one school fundraiser changes everything. Against all odds, she wins three grand prizes in a row, instantly drawing the attention of her peers and the town. What starts as a miraculous turn of fortune quickly spirals into suspicion, jealousy, and fear. As strange coincidences escalate into dangerous events, Tasha discovers her luck may not be luck at all-but something older, deeper, and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
When a mysterious black coin appears, Tasha becomes entangled in a pattern that spans decades: one that trades luck for consequences. Guided only by the cryptic warnings of a man in a brown coat and the scattered clues left behind by former recipients, Tasha uncovers a haunting legacy of recipients who either vanished, died, or disappeared from memory altogether. As reality begins to fracture and those around her suffer, she's forced to confront the coin's true nature-an entity that doesn't just offer chance but demands balance, feeding on intention, debt, and the unseen cost of desire.
In the end, Tasha faces an impossible decision: to continue the cycle by passing the coin on, to destroy herself and sever the bond, or to rewrite the pattern entirely. Choosing self-sacrifice, she collapses the system and vanishes from memory-only to awaken in a strange new town with no recollection of her past life. Yet something lingers. When fate offers her one final silver coin marked CHOICE, she understands her role has changed. The story concludes not with an ending, but with a beginning-one where Tasha becomes the quiet guardian of the new spiral, guiding others not through luck or fear, but through willful, conscious choice.
