Tucking another $500 into your brown suede boots you collect another $200 as you pass Go! You hate this game. Always have, always will. This time though, this time is different. This time, it means something. This time, winning counts.
Closing your eyes as you juggle the dice in your palms, you spill the contents onto the board.
“Double two.
Two and two for Lucy Raine”
You move your little Scottie dog four spaces, breathe relief as you land upon unoccupied ground.
Jack throws an eight, lands himself in jail - not for the first time.
A click.
A thud.
Jack has paid his dues.
Palms sweating, you close your eyes tight, praying for a six…

King Solomon's Mines
I’m eight years old. It’s summer and I’m in the backyard playing a childhood game.
It’s 1950 and the movie King Solomon’s Mines, an Indiana Jones type adventure, was in theaters.

You took me back to that summer! Good job!
Ohhhhh! This looks fun!
I love these prompts! Here’s my effort -
