The five second rule

zenball It was the best game of zenball ever, and the crowd was wild with excitement: the whisper of butterfly wings was deafening.


The Rotrovra Koan Kangaroos had just scored their first all-in kensho, and the Targenville Half-Lotus Lions replied with a double-satori. The Roos launched a full-out dharma walk, but they were unable to penetrate the Lions' impressive grasp of paradox.


The Roos had to do something or the Lions would surely win. The hush of the field filled with the deadly susurration of arrows, as they invoked the five second rule.


Afterwards, only the voice of a bamboo flute.
