The Psychic

A woman visited a psychic of some local repute.
In a dark and gloomy room, gazing at the Tarot cards laid out
before her, the Tarot reader delivered the bad news; "There is no easy
way to say this so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow.
Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."

Visibly shaken, the woman stared at the psychic's lined face, then
at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a
few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met
the Tarot reader's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked:
"Will I get away with it?"
