Alright so this guy got up and came right over to where I was sitting, right where I am sitting now, this place here.
He looked like he was pretty spaced out, but the truth of the matter was that he was not.
At first he just kind of stared at me and said nothing, but then again I knew that he was thinking about one thing or another, like always.
That was when I recognized his cap, you know, the one that looked all the time like it was about to fall off but never did.
This guy raised his hand, he opened up his hand so that I could see his palm as clearly as could be, although it was kind of getting dark.
This is your future, he told me.
--- My future? ---
Yes, this is your future. Whether you believe it or not.
He moved his hand just a little bit closer, but not quite close enough that I could examine the palm very well.
--- Cough, sigh and whatever. ---
He paused and then went on. If you are not careful, he continued, this is what can happen to it. Your future.
The guy with the cap that looked like it was glued to his forehead closed his hand into a tight fist.
--- My future? ---
Too bad he died the other day.
