Fate is a funny thing.

It sneaks up on you when you least expect it and pulls your life in new directions.

But with so much on the line --whole destinies hanging on a single moment-- one can only wonder... what if things had happened differently?

This story was written as a collaboration between myself and ROBCakeran53.

Each of us was provided a different story prompt and we were forbidden to tell each other what it was. With that restriction, we had 90 minutes to write something (two cursors, one document) that satisfied both prompts.

This was the result. Enjoy.
