Be The Fortune, John Henry Winter [best manga ereader txt] 📗

There once was a man who knew how to hitchhike

through Chinese fortune cookies. That’s right, he

understood each fortune so well that he could pass

from one to the next. How is that possible you might ask?

Think about it. He became the fortune by meditating on it.

Then, once he was in the bag with all the other fortune cookies,

he could sidle up to one and, through osmosis, pass right through

that sweet, crunchy cookie wall and right onto the next little strip

of paper. That’s when the real fun began, because he soon learned

that he could alter the fortune in any cookie by simply willing it

to change.

He would wait until some bespectacled gentleman was wiping the

last of the moo-goo-gai-pan off of his lips, and then spring some

outlandish joke on him, just for giggles. He would write something

like, “Mr. Stevens, your wife is having an affair with her gay hairdresser”

and then watch Mr. Stevens shoot his eyes over to his wife, innocently

peering into her compact, and narrow his eyes at her. It was great fun.
