Cross Your Fingers

Fiorella was astounded that eBay has disallowed psychic sales.  She's even more astounded that eBay allowed them in the first place.

Now, Fio, like half the people in the world, thinks she has a bit of the psychic in her.  After all, she foresaw a couple of deaths--admittedly of people who were on their last legs anyway--and she's good at reading Tarot cards if she has the explanatory book beside her.

Her cold brain tells her she's fooling herself, but because she's susceptible, she avoids putting herself in the position to be swayed by soothsayers, just in case they are naysayers. After all, her life so far has been one surprise after another, with opportunities going down the drain when they should have put her on the high road and unexpected bounties when life looked bleak.    Everything is looking up right now, but don't say it too loud.

Not that Fio is superstitious.
