Water, Fire, You May Say They’re Incompatible – by mumu74
Summary: Life is full with adventures. A lot of good things and bad things may happen. Life is like a river, not Sea of Tranquility. People plan things and hope, they will get that and that but they always find that there is twisting and turning. Sometimes people seem even to have forgotten that the hazards of the life can at times cause accidents in spite of all the precautions that one can take. Life is full of chance and luck, for good or ill. Everything depends on what people decide to do with so-called coincidences. Because accidents may provide ideas and opportunities of benefit to people who are enough sharp-sighted to see them.
