HEADS OR TAILS by Tim Kirton

She’d never been what you’d call unwavering in her decision-making.

Indecision, she’d convinced herself, was the last emotion before genius kicked in.

Proper research and an ordered approach to the bigger choices in life were necessary; a prerequisite to a successful outcome.

She looked again at her comprehensive list of pros and cons. They equated exactly.

She knew that.

Satisfied that every detail had been thoroughly thought through; she for once dispensed with logic, picked up her lucky coin and tossed it high into the air.

She watched it rise and then fall end over end.

Tails, the marriage would go ahead as planned.

Heads, she would take the already packed motorhome and drive off into the wild blue yonder.
