"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
I’m in a storytime mood so… send me a word, phrase, or anything you’d like to request and I’ll tell a story based on it.
Kind of a tame spooky story in hindsight. But back when I was still on college campus, they used to do a lot of events. Usually randomly crammed inbetween classes and for different celebrations. Gotta use Student Finances(tm) in some stupidly ludicrous ways, I guess.
Anyway, a good chunk of them were always hosted in the student gym and I always walked past there or even through the gym on my way to the cafeteria. Usually running because pro tip, never have two classes sandwiched between lunch hours. It’s hell, ok.
But one time when I was hustling by I noticed they were settling up for something. They actually locked out the side door I usually use and there was like black cloth draped over it and the windows. Out of curiosity I peered over and this girl, must have been around my age said they were setting up for a haunted house kind of thing. She also said she was doing fortunes for free on the side as they were setting up and asked if I wanted my fortune read. I was anxious to grab something and run to class but then I thought about how I might never see this person again, because again they’d always set up events like this during the lunch rush.
So I sat down by the table she set up inside and she read my fortune, 3 way prediction form of tarot. I forgot what my fortune was, just that I think she mentioned I had a “very heavy spiritual destiny” or something like that. Anyway, I left and thanked her and basically had to make a mad dash through the cafeteria then out the door because it was like 10 minutes before my class started.
After my class, I asked around if anyone got their fortune read and everyone said the same thing to me. There was no fortune teller.
