John Williams sat in the pub down the road from his apartment, sipping a beer and trying to figure out how to win back his ex-girlfriend, Lyra Hallon, who had just dumped him earlier that day.
"Would you like me to read your cards?"
John looked at the girl who had suddenly appeared across from him and frowned. "Aren't you a little young to be in here?" He couldn't figure out how this girl, a mere child, had gotten into the pub. Weren't they supposed to be age restricted?
"I'm older than I look." The girl said with a sly smile. "Would you like me to read your cards?" She repeated, taking out her tarot cards and shuffling them.
"I don't really believe in that sort of thing." John offered politely, taking another sip of his beer. Apparently the girl took that as a yes, as she laid three cards out on the table.
"An impossible man from your past life will come to you." she told him, examining the cards. He raised an eyebrow at her, watching as she laid three more cards on the table beside them. "He will bring danger into your life, and you will hurt him thrice." She drew one more and handed it to him. He looked down at it. It was not a tarot card, like the ones spread across the table, but an ordinary playing card-the Jack of Hearts. "The Jack will come and steal your heart." John looked at the card, frowning, and wondering what that could mean, then looked back up at the girl. She and her tarot cards were no where to be found. He looked all around, but there was no sign of her. She had vanished, just like she had appeared. He sighed, tucking the card into his jacket pocket, all thoughts of his ex-girlfriend forgotten as he drank the rest of his beer.
