Lisa held her breath as the gypsy took her hands and looked closely at the palms. She thought of the X-Factor application she had posted just that morning. Would the fortune-teller see a life of fame and fortune awaiting her? There was a long silence.
“I see bright lights and newspaper headlines,” the old woman said eventually, tracing Lisa’s life-line.
Lisa grinned as she left and headed home in the dusk. Fame and fortune would be hers. Lost in dreams, she stepped into the road.
“Woman killed in hit and run” was the front page headline of the local newspaper.
