I usually don't read short stories but this was actually pretty good. Not very believable but the plot twists were clever and caught me off guard. Great read for halloween!

So first off, the blurb mentions that our mc does small scams as a so-called psychic. What it doesn't mention is that she is also a sex worker. Read palms in the front of the house, give handjobs in the back. It is relevant to the story, so I'm not sure why they would leave that out. I was still on board with the story for up to 2/3 of the way through, when you get the first big twist. I wasn't that impressed, but still interested to see how it would resolve. Then, immediately, a second twist! And then it fucking ends! It kinda killed all the good it had going before the twists. And on the one hand, it was short, so I didn't waste too much time on it. On the other hand, the ending could have been longer, and maybe feel like a complete ending.

This was ok. It was really short. It could've been expanded.
