The second story in this collection is about a journalist. As a child he met a fortune teller who predicted that he would win the famous Pulitzer Prize. The prophecy is very specific, he must have an apple in his pocket, go twice to the right instead of left and aim for the moon. A phrase that makes little sense to the young boy. It is only decades later, when he has become a poor journalist in charge of obituaries, that he sees that the medium of his childhood has announced his death in a few days. Curious, he goes to investigate and finds himself embroiled in a dark money deal. The strange indications of the psychic could well make sense...
