"Time to reverse the time...the things, the steps, the songs...waters are gonna run uphill, winds are not gonna exhale but inhale...the nights are gonna turn into days, the eyes are gonna be wide open in dark, sun is gonna cool things down...you are gonna reverse things, you are gonna fly backwards but fly...when what is meant to happen happens! Ah, la vida buena! Gracias a Dios! "
Roared the fortune teller shaking. It was an April day and not cold at all in Seville. She was wearing a bear skin hat with a red feather attached to it which made her look crazier than she sounded. They say she inherited it from her uncle who had fled to Alaska leaving everything behind when he turned 18.
"I had rose cheeks like yours, girl. Alas, now they are looking forward to meeting the dirt. Oh well, listen to me carefully now. Don't panic when what is meant to happen happens for life is embroidered by miracles." She took a deep breath and licked her lips as if she was really thirsty.

Guest - Hey man! I heard the villagers found a bear cave in the woods. They say there is gold inside, probably some dumbass robber hid the stuff there and disappeared. Noone has the balls to sneak in the cave! I'm gonna check it out , you can stay and put a few more pages together to feed the fire.
Old Man - Did you promise somone to interrupt me everytime I start writing something?.. Wait, I'm coming with ya! You get the dog and I will get the gun.

Haha, another fantastic story from the old man. It has that small smile of knowingness in it, as they all do.
Thanks Paul, for always being there and putting that smile of sharingness on ma face:)
wow, sherry, you have been on a serious run lately! this is lovely as well - i like that the fortune teller sounds crazier than she is due to her hat and the (almost) commentary provided by the old man at the end.
