You demonstrate a stunning knowledge of human nature. In the end, our lives are what we invest in them. Those who are merely timid or struggling or anxious but open often need just a little push to fly, while those who are narrow, selfish, demanding, and emotionally barren are the architects of their own unhappiness and frustration. Loved this.

I so appreciate your kind feedback. I\u2019m still not quite certain if this technically falls into second POV or not, since it is still coming from a character\u2019s perspective but just as more of an inner monologue with her contrasting types of clients, but I\u2019m glad the POV felt natural! That\u2019s always a risk when trying something unique is that the effect comes across as jarring and disorienting instead.Looking forward to your next story too ;)"},{"author_url":"https:\/\/blog.reedsy.com\/creative-writing-prompts\/author\/jim-firth\/","author_avatar":"https:\/\/images-cdn.reedsy.com\/auth\/avatar\/1726558\/thumbnail_d9e8e9f9590259cc961665af71645d1d98851ea0.jpg","author_name":"Jim Firth","comment":"Yes, you're right.

You picked my number one fave prompt of the week as well :DAdored the parallel between the first and the seconf half and how they mirrored each other. Excellent. And the last sentence... yess.

Thank you, thank you. I loved this prompt too, and was worried it might have already been too saturated with stereotypical fortune teller tales, but I just couldn\u2019t resist. Ugh.

I love the second person POV and the two sides of the penny. I love the two perspectives and the way you've mirrored the language on each side. Lovely interpretation of the prompt.

This time I put "fantasy" and your story was at the top. The title lured me in, the story and aesthetic kept me interested for the whole thing. You must have heard of this a million times, I absolutely loved the comparison\/contrast between the two types of "customers" and the POV of the fortune teller and how she interacts with them. I think her sense of "fairness" combined with her uniqueness and authenticity makes her a likeable person.
