The year was 1920, I was a young budding singer Waiting to be discovered.
I found myself in New York City. Though being an Young girl from Ohio in the heart of New York City, I felt overwhelmed with excitement and fear. I had a feeling that something good was coming my way. My first instinct was to explore and take in the sights but as nightfall started to show I know I needed a place to sleep. I soon realized that I used my savings on the train ride up and was quite sure there'd be no place to take me. Lost and nowhere to go I found my wondering among the streets of New York. When a women walked up and said " Do you need help my dear? Please come in my shop is a bit cold tonight. I can make you a cup of tea and food". " That would be nice but you don't have to go to all that trouble for me" I said. " It's really nothing but a kind gesture I'm offering but you want keep wondering around in the cold I won't yeah. Ultimately it your choice" said Fatima. " well I do feel a bit hungry and I suppose your right it is cold" I said. "Come in then" she said as she holding the shop door open. I walked in and noticed it was a fortune teller shop. " come on darling won't you still down talk to me" she said showing a what looked like to be a smile. " Sure. Are you a fortune teller by chance " I said as I sat down. " well yes that is one of my talents but what is it your looking for my dear?" Fatima said as she sipped her tea. " I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you want. I have everything I need" I said. "But it you who called. You don't have to tell me" said Fatima. " I'll think it's time for me to go it truly has been fun." I said as I walked towards the door. " If that's what you want. At least let me walk you to the boarding house I know of" Fatima said. Suddenly she grabbed my hand and started walking. " If you just tell where it is I'll there myself. There no need for you to take me." I said as my nerves where reacting. " No need we are here" she said as she let me go. " remember who you are" she said as she disappeared. " okey" I said as I walked towards the door. Before I could knock a lady answered and said " you must be Rose. I've been expecting you" she said. "Who are you and how do you know my name" said rose. " Fatima told me. Oh I'm sorry I forgot to introduce my self. You can call lady Amir'"she said. "Come let me show you to your room" Amir said as she lead me up stares. Amir opened the door to my bed room and walked off. I went into the bedroom and passed out on the bed. What ever was fate had planned I was ready to take head on.
