The deal struck with the Shadow man

It was a night out with friends. Something you hadn't done in a long time as a dad of four kids with a wife who makes more than you, your responsible for taking care of the house, the kids, the yard, the cars, the bills, your aging in-laws, pto, your ungrateful boss, neighborhood Hoa, Karen head of the Hoa. The list goes on, but needless to say your tired. So when your buddy Greg says he wants to keep drinking your with him. While the rest of your friends head back to the hotel you and a drunk Greg stumble through the back streets of New Orleans. After a few more drinks Greg leads you to an old shop with a tall but skinny man. The shadows move different he invites you in and Greg goes so you go. "Hello, friends welcome to New Orleans. Sit down at my table Put your minds at ease If you relax, it will enable me To do anything I please I can read your future I can change it 'round some, too I'll look deep into your heart and soul Make your wildest dreams come true I got voodoo, I got hoodoo I got things I ain't even tried And I got friends on the other side" A strange echo comes from the shadows "He's got friends on the other side" And this seems so familiar to you. But the man goes on. When you look at Greg he seems much more sober than the drunk man all night. "The cards, the cards, the cards will tell The past, the present and the future as well The cards, the cards, just take three Take a little trip into your future with me" Your hand fumbles with the cards getting them but Greg hand does so easily. The cards swim before your eyes as the man takes them "On you, old man, I don't wanna waste much time You been pushed 'round all your life You been pushed 'round by your mother and your sister and your brother, You've been pushed 'round by your wife, oh and your even pushed around by your kids. But in your future, the you I see Is exactly the Person you always wanted to be" He grins at you "I see money that is yours, I see your chance to be in charge of no one but yourself. I see your fear of age gone" He turns to Greg who despite the world spinning on your part and he seemed so much drunker than you all night is sitting "You my good friend have fulfilled your deal. You brought me three before him to feed my friends on the other side. Now his wife, his life, his kids are all yours" "All Yours" the shadows seems to say as they dance around the room That's when you realize it. You mean to put out your finger and point but you point with your entire hand instead "Hey aren't you the shadow man Dr." is all you get out before he grabs your hand and shakes. Greg does the same to him and the walls start spinning and dancing. Is Included
