EVEN THOUGH SARAH had lost everything—the life she’d built and her artwork—she was so resilient. It wasn’t long before her smile was back and she was talking about all their new possibilities. She said that when life takes something from you, it opens up new opportunities for you as well. She was sitting in the back cab of the truck now, with her backpack in hand.

“Good thing I grabbed this before we left for the show,” she announced.

“All your important things?” Luca turned to say to her. He was sitting next to Samantha, who was driving.

“Yep, my wallet and passport—we’re going to need that to sneak past the border and into the U.S.” Sarah had convinced the group to head to San Francisco. She had been driving there often recently to ship artwork to the many galleries there, and she said she could likely get a job at one of them. There would be enough work in the city for all of them to get jobs, she said. “But this is the most important thing—my Tarot deck.” She pulled a deck of cards out of her backpack. “I use them sometimes when things get tough. It gives me a sense of where I am psychologically.”

“Alright, well pick one for all of us. We could all use some direction right now,” Samantha chimed in while Luca groaned. It was obvious to Charlie that Luca didn’t buy it. Charlie had never seen a Tarot deck before. He knew they were used for psychic readings, and for predicting stuff. There were strange images on the cards and Sarah shuffled them around before she picked one and held it up.

“Oh boy,” she muttered.

“What?” Charlie asked out of curiosity.

“It’s the five card, the Five of Swords,” she said shaking her head. Charlie got an instant chill. She held the card out for them to see. There was a man on the card holding a sword, like a knight or a prince, with other swords strewn about around him.

“In the present it means there’s a violation of trust, a selfishness that leads to conflict and fighting. It’s not good, sorry guys.”

“Then pick another card!” Luca was laughing, as if to make fun of the whole thing.

“So that’s all it means? As if we don’t have enough bad stuff going on.” Samantha turned in her seat.

“It can also represent hope in the future position, if that means anything,” Sarah said. “It’s not a full reading anyway—”

“Alright, that’s enough,” Luca interrupted, sounding pissed off. It was quiet in the truck for a moment.

“I never mentioned something, and apparently no one noticed,” Sarah said.

“Noticed?” Samantha replied.

Sarah sighed, almost as if she didn’t want to go on. “Do you guys know Dante’s Inferno?” There was a pause.

“A long poem, right? About traveling through hell or the underworld or something,” Samantha said. Luca had a curious look on his face. “What? I paid attention whenever we were actually in school,” she said to him.

“Sam’s right, Dante’s poem depicts his travels through
