Maggie reached out to touch the ball. It was a bizarre sensation. She could feel her fingers hitting… something, but she couldn’t feel any surface or temperature or anything else. It was like the ball both was, and wasn’t there at the same time.
“What the hell is it?” Maggie backed away from the sphere.
“I honestly don’t know. I know what it does though.”
“And that is?”
“In layman’s terms, it bends the laws of physics.”
“What do you mean?”
“It makes things that shouldn’t normally be possible, possible. It sort of… sucks up the normal around it. It seriously skews the odds in your favour. Roll a die and it’ll roll a six one sixth of the time. Not here. I tried it. I got thirty-seven sixes in a row. Twice. Do you know the odds of that happening?”
