An Unhappy Medium
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG6g5CkyWAo
She
was unable to foresee the future with her man.
Maria sat by flickering candlelight, bathed in the scent
of glowing joss sticks—sandalwood. An unlit Tiffany style lamp with gold fringe
hung above the fortune teller, medium, clairvoyant and astrologer of some
renown in Rio de Janeiro. In her hands, she held a deck of Tarot cards. Somehow
she had not foreseen her future with Luiz.
Where was Luiz?
At the Black Cat most likely, losing the
200 reals I gave him. He had never earned a paycheck and slept late most mornings
to awaken angry or depressed—two sides of the same coin.
She
turned one of the cards face up: The Three of Swords. Three long steel blades
impaled a bright red heart with
clouds and rain behind. It spoke of absence and delay—removal.
