Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “fortune.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Fortune wasn’t a lucky lady. She stepped on a nail as a colt and now limped along.

Her owners must have felt unfortunate, as she would never be the great racehorse they’d bred her to be. But Fortune smiled her horsey smile. That nail was attached to blade. A step to one side or the other would have sliced off her leg.

As she took a step back, she saw this blade would hurt anyone passing this way. She kicked it off the cliff. No longer would it pose a threat.

As she hobbled she danced. Hers was the beautiful pasture. Fortune’s fortune.
