The Future-See-er

Step right up for the moment of your young life, ladies and gentleman!

Before your very eyes you will get a chance to see to see the future. Our fortune-teller has the mind-blowing talent of not seeing your future Рno, no, nothing that pass̩ Рbut the ability to *show* you what is to come.

Hold her hand, yes, that’s right, with your fingers interlacing, and watch your life flash forward. Just don’t close your eyes – the moment you do, you will see your future death. From what I’ve seen, every time I close mine, life after life is not pleasant.

This short story is a part of the illustrious WonHundred Word Wednesday. Read the other stories, spun off the prompt:  "No matter what you hear, no matter how badly you want to, do NOT open your eyes." at the links below! (Obviously I remembered the prompt wrong and wrote about closing your eyes. But I like what I've got and I don't have time to rewrite it, so it will have to do for now!)

  2. Ooh, awesome! Love the style of the caller, and the intrigue of this fortune teller. It's amazing the way you pulled me into the setting and the vibe of the world, even though all you have is this caller with no touch of setting. I really like the feel of this.

    1. Maybe if you took enough caffeine pills you would be able to avoid closing your eyes :D
