What The Fortune Cookie Said (ePub)

A young single mom of two is panic-stricken after receiving the same sinister fortune cookie that her husband received before the tragic event written in the cookie took his life. What The Fortune Cookie Said is a short story from the short story collection book "When Life Strikes Midnight." Check out the book so you can read the rest of my stories in that collection!

In more detail: A widowed single mother with two children treads carefully when dining at her local Chinese restaurant because of its connection to the loss of her husband. Facing a night with no food at the house, Salomi decides to revisit the only restaurant open late. She reluctantly breaks the fortune cookie after her meal, her skin turning pale when she receives the same sinister fortune that her husband received before he lost his life. Not sure how to follow the fortune's instructions, Salomi struggles to come up with the best way to protect her children. When the consequences written in the fortune paper take effect, Salomi finds herself face-to-face with the perpetrator responsible for implementing the cookie fortune's message.

I spend most of my time reading, writing, or creating art. When I am not doing any of those things, I am listening to music or obsessively binge-watching animated shows and movies. I always have my head in the clouds, daydreaming of all sorts of ridiculously divine things that transport me away from the real world, and I love moving through life that way. I live happily somewhere on planet Earth.
