Fate, Coincidence, & Other Curse Words

By: Kenneth Creech

"Love Exists Somewhere Between the Plans of Fate and Whims of Coincidence."

As the only openly gay guy in his small Illinois town, seventeen-year-old Jonathan Daniels feels like his options for love are essentially non-existent. With no immediate prospects and prom on the horizon, he’s preparing for another year alone until a new kid, Chance, catches his eye. Unbeknownst to Jonathan, his best friend Destiny has a history with Chance, and his arrival has consequences.

After years apart, reincarnated gods Destiny and Chance have an opportunity to prove who is more powerful while learning how to deal with the reality of being in a much weaker, mortal body. To test their abilities, Chance suggests that Jonathan is the ideal candidate for their unique brand of “help.” With love and bragging rights on the line, the two former all-powerful gods do anything they can to win, but when the things they've changed start correcting course, it's everyone for themselves, and Jonathan gets caught in the crosshairs.

As prom approaches, Jonathan still doesn't have a date, and it will take more than a little divine intervention to make sure he has the night he deserves. But when the last song ends, and the lights come on, will Jonathan’s romantic future be left in the hands of Destiny or all up to Chance?
