Mishka prepares to visit fortune-teller

Mishka went to bed with new questions on her mind.

“My grandmother has surely got a rich and interesting, but weird past,” she thought to herself.

“How am I gonna find out if the rumours are true?” she whispered into the bedcovers.

She lay still for a while before jumping up again. A thought had just hit her.

“Grandma might have been part of a suspicious and maybe unholy alliance of fortune-tellers. None of them are left, but what about the lady that she watches her witch show with? I wonder if it’s the same show that I watched with her?” Mishka asked herself.

“So, then, this lady could be part of that old group. Then the two of them are not just watching a TV show together. Maybe they’re really powerful as witches after so many years of practice?” Mishka continued to wonder.

Mishka sat upright as she considered the possibilities surrounding Myrtle’s past life.
