This story was submitted for inclusion in a compilation of short stories called the Machine of Death volume 2. The instruction was to write a story that had to include the concept of a machine that could predict the future by examining a blood sample of a person. It would then provide a short, possibly very cryptic message that accurately said how that person would die.
Sadly, my story will not be included in this anthology; however, I have made it available here for anyone who is interested in a good, short read! I’d also love to see comments!
