The Psychic ............
In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the Mystic
delivered grave news:
"There's no easy way to tell you this, so I'll just be blunt. Prepare

death this year."
Visibly shaken, Laura stared at the woman's lined face, then at the
single flickering candle, then down at her hands.
She took a few deep breaths to compose herself and to stop her mind
racing. She simply had to know.
She met the Fortune Teller's gaze, steadied her voice and asked, "Will
I be acquitted?"
