On my walk to the subway, I always pass by the store front for a psychic. The little room is attached to an apartment where I can only assume that the psychic and her family lives. Sometimes, I see the woman, sitting by her glowing plastic crystal ball, along side a deck of Tarot cards and a bust of Queen Nefertiti, alone. In the eighteen months that I have walked by her store, I have only once seen anyone get their future told by this woman. Clearly, business is booming.

The first problem I have with the store are the hours they are open. “8am – 12pm”. I am going to surmise that she meant 12am. Call it a hunch… but when I see her sitting at her desk, late at night, I wonder if she knows that the sign on the outside of the store says that she closed at noon.

Right under the sign for the hours, reads another sign in big, bold letters: CLAIRVOYANT. Now maybe I am assuming too much, but if she is able to see the future, why is there a sign next to the doorbell that says “ring doorbell for psychic”? Shouldn’t she be able to sense that someone wants their palm read? If I were to go to a psychic, I fully expect the person to look at me while I enter their store and say “Welcome… I was expecting you.” Is that too much to ask?
