My Sister Got Married and Divorced Eight Times

My sister, Shirley Bacon, was just thirty years old this year and had been married eight times. It was not that she divorced her eight husbands, but her every husband had been taken away by death. Every time before her wedding, she consulted a fortune teller, who always looked troubled upon seeing her. The straightforward ones said, "You are destined to bring misfortune to your husbands. Marriage will lead to disaster. You shouldn't harm others." The more tactful ones said, "This isn't your true match. You will only find stability after sixty. Better wait." But Shirley, though she consulted, never listened. And now, she was preparing for her ninth marriage. I prayed this man had a stronger fate.
