Capricorn (ep. 63)
The card read: ‘You will find another man’.
She turned it over in her hand, looking to David.
“You take this stuff seriously?” he laughed. “It’s so dumb.”
He whacked the machine. A card slid out. ‘She will find another man’.
“Feckin’ machine,” he spat, whacking it again.
A third card. ‘You’re dead Dave’.
He reached back to punch the glass just as the machine toppled forward onto him.

Funny Horror! I’ll take it!!! And maybe it’s because of Your accent, but this took me right back to the first episode ever of Red Dwarf, where they do the great riff on 2001 and Holly (was that the computer’s original name? When he was a guy? I forget…) keeps repeating over and over in that voice…”They’re dead, Dave. They’re all dead Dave…” Cheers!!! And Thanks! 🙂
