Life and Things

I've just reread The Heroes of Olympus: Son of Neptune... and had the wildest idea. The character Frank Zhang, has a really short life. Why? Well his life is as short as a half burnt piece of wood, literally. Now here's the idea... What if real life was like that. Everyone of us has that one object that our life is connected to and we just don't know it. We might have it with us or we could see it everyday but we simply choose to ignore it. But what if this is true and we find out that object one day... Will we try our best keeping it safe or will we choose to leave it to the Fates. Think about it...
