"Somebody has put a big bet on."
"That's not unusual. People place big bets all the time."
"Yes, they do, but this one is particularly strange. They've put on £10,000 for Leicester City to win the English Premier League."
"Maybe he, or a she, is a fan."
"Yes, a flutter maybe, but £10,000 is serious."
"If they do win, he, or she, will win £10 million. Maybe he, or she, has the money."
"Nobody wants to put money down the drain. Leicester City should have been relegated last season. They are lucky to be in it. Even if they turn it around and have a better season, to win over 38 games would be the craziest thing ever to happen in sport."
"Good luck then, to him, or her."
"No, something smells fishy. Do you know what I think?"
"Go on, elaborate."
"He, or she, has a time machine. They know they will win and have now put on a huge bet."
"Don't be crazy. You've implied that that you can travel in time and that Leicester City will win the English Premier League, all in one sentence."
"Why else would someone bet so much on a near impossible outcome?"
"Maybe, we'll find out in May."
"See, even you're curious."
"Nah, I think it's a super rich Leicester City fan with super big dreams."
"Let's agree to disagree. My theory, a time machine. Your theory, a rich fan with dreams."
"I'm just going to pop to the washroom."
"Why, what do you think you'll see?"
"A toilet, hopefully."
"Or are you sneaking off in your own time machine?"
A freewrite, prompts usually by @mariannewest, but I kind of forgot to use whatever one it was supposed to be.
