Space 6:
You hear a shrill, humming noise; it sounds almost like something is firing past you–and sometimes, you even feel a sharp burst of air, like something has just missed you. Maybe, even, it does get a slice out of you. Sharp, bladelike threads seem to string up around you; you’d best be careful not to get cut on any of them between now and your next dice roll.

Zenobia looked at the dice on the ground before her. She had found it earlier when she was walking her dog with her father. It looked like it was glowing. She wanted to pick it up but didn't want to do it with her father. He might mention it to his mother. She was not allowed to touch things that are on the ground. according to her mom, she shouldn't dirty her hands with nasty things.
She had made a mental note to go back out and see if it was still there. Later that night she waited till her parents were asleep and piled clothes and pillows under the sheet to make it look like she was in the bed. She then crept downstairs. She turned off the alarm system and carefully opened the door. She was a pro at this. She had been sneaking out for so long. Her mother was suffocation. If her mother could wrap her up in bubble wrap she would.
She powered up and made her way to where she had last seen the dice. It was still there in it's glowing glory. She collected shiny things and that dice was going to be added to her collection. She bent to pick up the dice and jumped. It felt hot. Burning her hand. She dropped it and was instantly transported to another dimension. She was in the middle of what looked like a board game and she was stuck in a square.
She didn't know what to do or say but when she felt a burst of air pass her she jumped.
"Was that a bullet?"
She wasn't sure what it was but looking down at the dice on the ground something told her to continue to play. She picked up the dice and threw it again.
