In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the fortune teller delivered grave news:
"There's
no easy way to tell you 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 young woman stared
back at the old woman's lined face, then at the single
flickering candle, then down at her shaking hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. Her mind raced.
A question forced its way out... she simply had to know.
She met the Fortune Teller’s gaze, tried to steady her voice and asked, "Will I be acquitted?"
