As The Fates Would Have It

Do you remember those stories about how the Earth and life as we know it came to be? Whether it be from a scientist perspective, or a deeply religious person's. Well erase all of that, because it's all wrong.
Your life lays in the palm of his hand. He is the cards dealer, and you are the gambler. You are the mouse, and he is the merciless lion. He is the hunter, and you are the prey. In the blink of an eye, he could make or break your life. He could give you riches, or make you dirt poor. He could flood you with illnesses that would make you cry for mercy, or he could make you as healthy as a horse. He could take away everything and everyone that you care about, or make sure that you all live a perfect little life. So, like I previously said: your life lays in the palm of his powerful hand; and as the fates would have it, my life was destined to intertwine with his.
