It was a really nice evening so I decided to do a little exploring. Me and my girlfriend just moved here at New York because she wants to live in a bigger city. Anyway, while I was walking in the streets, I saw a small tent with the words 'Fortune Teller' written on it. I got interested so I decided to go inside. I'm not really a believer of Fortune Telling and all that bullshit, that's why I wanna test their skills out.

"Hello, how can I help you?" the strange looking old lady greeted me as I entered the tent.

"Uhm... Can you do my older brother's reading? His name is Matty Mullins..." the truth is, I don't have any brother. I just wanna prove that fortune telling is not true. I gave her my own name, birthday, age (I added 3 years to my real age by the way), and all the basic information. When I was done, she looked into her magic ball. Her eyes went wide and I wanted to laugh at her face but I bit my tongue. She chanted to herself and put out a deck of cards, and pulled out one card. Her face went pale and she almost passed out.

"Where is your brother?" she demanded with a shaky voice.

"At home." I lied.

"Tell him to take care of himself. Look after him very carefully. You can go now, you don't have to pay. Just take care of your brother." she spoke in a hurried manner and practically pushed me out of the tent.

"Will you please say what the... 'magic ball' said?" I said in a somewhat annoyed manner. She still looks scared but said it anyway.

"Your brother should've died 3 years ago today."
