Trifextra: Week Ninety-Two
The Trifextra prompt this weekend is very different from the usual fare.This is what Trifecta says-
In The Scorpio Races, author Maggie Stiefvater writes, “It is the first day of November and so, today, someone will die.” Give us the next thirty-three words of this story, as you imagine it. Take it wherever you like, but make it original and make it 33 words exactly. – See more at: http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/#sthash.X88S3P6S.dpuf
So,here come my 33 🙂

In the cards
Doctors told her she had been poisoned.
“These 3 cards indicate danger, misfortune.”
Sabina remembered that prediction.
Yes, she had been in danger but now misfortune was going to visit Ali, her husband.

Atreyee, I love this!
Give me danger over misfortune any day;) Poor Ali! The cards seldom lie!
And I’m sorry I didn’t comment on your last post-I always look forward to seeing what you write-but my daughter got sick. She’s better now:)
Thank you so much Valerie:-)I agree-better to live than die;-)
Re,not being able to comment-don’t feel bad-we all have other responsibilities and kids always need to come first-am so glad that your daughter is better-mine is still not better & we have a big festival today and tomorrow(Diwali)-sigh!
Will come by to read and comment on your’s later tonight-am off to make dinner now :-)Have a wonderful weekend!love
I’m with Valerie. Danger is/can be intriguing. Misfortune is a pain in the rear. He better watch it! Great, Atreyee!
Yep,he better watch it ;-)Thanks Gina-so lovely to see you on my page xx
Oh how scary to go to a tarot card reading and get this one! Yikes! Good one Atreyee!! 😀
Ha!ha!Must be-never had a Tarot reading though it interests me a lot-had bought a pack but found the “learning” too tedious and complicated-no grey cells left,lol!
danger is a prediction here, while the misfortune , a certainty.
