The Fortune Teller

Hillery Clinton visits a fortune-teller.

In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the psychic delivered grave news. “There’s 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 stares at the fortuneteller’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 fortuneteller’s gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question:

“Will I be found guilty?”
