Tyndareus grimaced, shocked by Collins' dash of karma. "This can't occur. How can you win each round?"

Collins giggled, "It's all in the wrist, old buddy. Seems as though karma has chosen to lean toward me today."

After a couple of additional rounds, Collins arose as a definitive victor of the game, causing Tyndareus a deep sense of's incredulity.

Tyndareus hesitantly conceded rout, "Nicely done, Collins. I should say, you have a remarkable ability for this game."

Collins smiled, "Thank you, Tyndareus. It was a delight playing against you. Perhaps in the future, karma will be your ally."
