“I see absolutely everything.”
“I promise, we’re not about to eat pretty doe eyes over there,” Hank said as he seared the venison tenderloin.
Theresa turned from the deer head mounted on the wall, her pupils dilated as the animal’s, frozen in the expression it assumed once it realized its impending death.
“I know you don’t like seeing red in your meat, but venison is tough. So if you want it well done, you’ll be chewing all night.”
“However you cook it is fine.” The words floated on air, barely reaching his ears.
Hank poked his head into the den. “What’s the matter with you?”
“True psychics know this gift is a curse. They’d never abuse it for profit.” She didn’t meet his eyes, stared past him, above his head at something invisible to the natural realm. “Would you believe me if I told you the world as we know it would end tomorrow?”

You know what? It is definitely worth rereading the story twice. You start getting all the subtle clues and suddenly it’s not too much of a surprise ending at all. Nicely done, Nortina!

Great surprise ending! Now they need to decide if he believes her and if so, how they are going to spend their last few hours. The unknown is always frightening!

He’d better make sure that venison isn’t tough. It might be their last meal on earth!
