Description:

The world, as we know it, is gonna end!
That’s what the gypsy woman said. She also said it’s gonna happen SOON, but she wouldn’t say HOW it’s gonna happen.
“Well it won’t!” Jeff said. “Besides, gypsy ladies who travel with the Fourth of July Carnivals don’t know nothin’! Besides, that crystal skull of hers is FAKE!”
Jeff’s my best friend and he thinks he knows everything about everything even though he doesn’t!
“Well, some of her predictions already came true!” I told Mr. Know-it all.
All I know is this; The gypsy woman comes of her tent on the odd numbered nights, just as the sun burns the top of the drawbridge and makes her predictions.
Everybody thinks they’re about them. But they’re not. Not always.
But about the world, as we know it, coming to an end? Turns out, it did! And it happened in a way NOBODY could’ve predicted.
