The Fortune Teller and Writer's Block

I have been tweeting a little bit about my serious case of writer's block.  I can usually come up with several ideas for short stories and flash fiction but for the last three weeks, nothing.  NOTHING!!!  So, here is what I am going to do.  Below is what I had hoped would be a fun flash fiction story.  What I propose is you read it and give me suggestions on the ending.  If I use your idea, I'll gift you a copy of one of my books (your choice).  Or you can feel free to just leave a comment on the story, or writer's block in general.
Thanks for playing!


The Fortune Teller
"C'mon, it'll be fun," Beth said, tugging her best friend, Audreys' arm."A fortune teller? Really?" Audrey said."Sure. I did it last year and everything she said came true.""First, no one can see the future. They use your responses to figure you out. Second, even if she was really good it's unlikely to be the same woman. This is the carnival. They probably pick up whoever they can along the way. In fact they probably just rotate out the jobs. She gave you a fortune one day, then was working the ring toss game the next.""No. The lady selling tickets heard me telling Robert I wanted to go to the fortune teller and she said their lady is the real thing. She's been with them ten years. When people find out she's coming they line up to see her.""Whatever," Audrey smiled."Well, we're going. You need some fortune telling.""It sure couldn't hurt," Audrey said. Her business was failing and she had some big decisions to make. Not that she would listen to a stranger, but still, it could take her mind off her troubles for a little while. To Audrey's surprise there was actually a line to see the fortune teller. She had no desire to wait, considering it was hot and crowded but Beth bought them some soda's and let her use her smart phone to play on the internet so she agreed. It's not as if she had anything better to do anyway.Thirty minutes later they entered the fortune tellers tent. It was really small and dark, with just a little round table surrounded by three chairs. The only light came from a round clear ball on the center of the table. The ball wasn't in any holder and Audrey wondered what kept it from rolling off the table. Sitting in the chair opposite the entrance was a small woman dressed in a black caftan dress. Her hair was black and long with streaks of gray, but it was her eyes that kept Audrey from moving forward. They were black and cold and seemed to pierce through Audrey."Don't worry," the fortune teller said, smiling. Beth took Audrey's hand and pulled her to the empty seats. "It's your fortune you want told then," the woman said to Audrey. It wasn't a question. She laid her right hand on the table, palm up, and indicated Audrey should take a hold. Beth nudged her and she grasped hands with the woman. "Ah," she said looking into the crystal ball. "You're business is failing and you are thinking of closing it."Audrey pulled her hand back. "How...how could you know that?""It's what you paid for, isn't it? For me to see things.""But, it's impossible!" She looked at Beth. "You told her. You came here earlier and told her.""I didn't!" Beth said."My dear, I have people waiting. Do you want your fortune read or not. It doesn't matter if you believe it."Audrey looked at the woman, then back at Beth. "C'mon Audrey. It's harmless."Audrey reached out and took the woman's hand again."You need to keep your business going," she continued, looking back into the crystal ball. "If you can just hang on a few more months, everything will turn around."Audrey thought of the big contract she had been waiting on. She was sure it had fallen through and they had gone with someone else but what if..."And, oh, how nice. You will meet the love of your life in the next twenty four hours."This time Audrey smiled as she pulled her hand back and stood up."Thanks anyway miss, but now I know you're a fraud.""Oh, and why is that?""Because I am already married."
