Discussing Lucky Day by Chuck Tingle

8 million people were killed in the now infamous Low Probability Event. Fish fell from the sky, manholes exploded, animals ran amok, and everything else impossible and improbable occurred all at once in a spasm of murderous chaos. Four years after the LPE, Vera struggles to find meaning in life when Special Agent Layne barges in with orders to help him investigate a Las Vegas casino believed to be at the heart of another deadly improbability.
