I Am Jack's Complete Lack of Surprise...

I say this many a time because being working in the back ground of the Psychic shop since opening I've seen people come, I've seen people go... The stories do not suprise me, at all... Death, decay, hurt, heartbreak, revenge... They all point to one city which has it's cold grip on our blasted throats... -Shithole end- (The words scribbled out but still able to JUST make out) ... Dead End...

Why one man came in, and with a touch of a hand a vision unfolded in the minds of my lover, she fell to her knee's instantly and retold a story later to find out was true... Murder by a best friend, betrayal... All that matter... Why does this not suprise me?... We all have the same stories in Dead End how do you think we end up here?...

There are a few that do curl my lips and make me smile though, unmatched love, marriage and children. These are the ones I hope for each and every day to silence the drow of the day and make at least running this shop with a partner somewhat heart warming!... Good luck to those we read, may our fortunes bring you either inner peace, good fortune, or an early warning... Stay safe in this city for me...
