There once was a man who happened to buy God's overcoat. At first, I thought it was just a really advanced holographic coat which made it appear as if it were made out of water. But when I brushed past him in the tight casino and I was wet I knew it was no ordinary coat. Deciding to test my eyes and see if I had just been slipped something, I followed the man through the casino until he sat down with a bunch of people that were adorning similar accessories as him. One woman wore a hat made of fire, another had a necklace so bright it seemed like a star. But the thing is, no one else seemed to look, no one else seemed to get wet by the waterfall coat and no one spared a glance at the hat that flew off the man's head itself. Sitting down with the bunch the man with the waterfall coat it off to reveal a symbol along the inside collar that looked like a trident.
"How much you chipping?" the lady with the fire crown asked.
"100 red." I tossed my chips into the board.
"Your funny, turn them into drachma so we can start I have a good feeling and I'm tryna get the matching set of feather shoes before they fly away." The man with the feather hat stretched his hands and tossed a set of gold coins onto the round table.
"Are you guys magicians?" I ask not being able to hold my tongue. I know crazy things happen in Las Vegas but how was no one else at least staring!
"Boy, we are no more magicians than you. Must be a roman kid I swear they are always this clueless," The waterfall man says.
"What are you talking about? I'm from Arizona?" They all look around with a slight look of realization. They all get up putting on their attire.
"Come with us, there's some explaining that needs to happen." And just like that, I followed the lady with the star necklace and her magical friends into the world of the greek and roman gods.
