Your Daily Horrorscope
Astrological Atrocities
Introduction
I'm sure this has been done a million times, even on Vocal, but saw a horoscope page on the bus and thought it might be a bit of fun to twist it a little.
This is just a little microfiction although I could have said it was a free-form poem.
The music is "Zodiac Signs" by Sally Sossa.

♈Aries♈
Aries is considered the first sign of the zodiac.
Today's Horrorscope: You will be severely battered by a horned ram because you had his mate for Sunday dinner.
♉Taurus♉
Today's Horrorscope: You shouldn't have bullied that person into giving you their wallet. Now you are in a field with a fierce real bull bearing down on you.
♊Gemini♊
Today's Horrorscope: You really shouldn't have crossed the Krays, they will take any excuse to visit extreme violence on anyone, especially those who insult their mother. They love their mother and they are now coming for you.
♋Cancer♋
Today's Horrorscope: So you had Crab Bisque, but the crabs mates are not too happy and you will end the day pinched and bitten and bleeding, Sea food can take umbrage quite often.
♌Leo♌
Today's Horrorscope: You will break down in the safari park at Longleat and the Lions will have a second breakfast.
♍Virgo♍
Today's Horrorscope: The Mafia boys were not too happy when you stole their extra virgin olive oil, so now they have plans for you and an addition to the car park tarmac.
♎Libra♎
Today's Horrorscope: The scales of justice will tilt and confine you to a long time in a prison cell for stealing the Neapolitan ice cream from that big hotel.
♏Scorpio♏
Today's Horrorscope: You should really have closed your hotel window, all manner of creepy crawlies could get into your room and a scorpion will leave a very nasty and painful sting.
♐Sagittarius♐
Today's Horrorscope: Horses loose on the archery range and you will end up shot by arrows and kicked until you are blue and bruised.
♑Capricorn♑
Today's Horrorscope: After you have enjoyed goat curry this sea goat will ram you and attempt to drown you. Be very careful after you have eaten.
♒Aquarius♒
Today's Horrorscope: Don't go near water, the Mafia are still looking for you, and drowning is a method of theirs.
♓Pisces♓
Today's Horrorscope: If the family do find you, it is highly likely that you will be sleeping with the fishes before long.

Supply and Demand
If the clouds had been the color of steel, they might have cast the appropriate foreboding atmosphere for a clandestine meeting. If the figures had been lurking in a garbage-filled alley, rats fleeing before their footsteps, they might have had the appropriate air. Perhaps only if the two figures themselves had been sinister in appearance, with badly scarred faces or eye patches, it might have implied something more... malevolent.

Fascinating astrology!
LOL! I’m a professional astrologer who doesn’t believe in horoscopes (they’re not real astrology, which uses a birth date, time, and location to input data into software). I found this hilarious. 😆
Yayyyyy I'm sleeping with the fishes! Lol! This was so creative! I loved it!
Brilliant! 😊This definitely deserves a Top Story nod! :)
This was awesome 😎 I’m will definitely be watching for the Mafia I don’t plan on drowning today lol
What a horribly good time was had by all. Enjoyed this, Mike.
Virgo here. Yep they showed. It was a “misunderstanding”. Fed them some fresh linguini with scallops in wine sauce. Lesson learned: Never help their Madres plan a surprise party.
lol Mafia is after me 'D
Bloody hell. I sincerley hope that these don't come tue! Made me smile -Thank you! 🤍
Oh man! I’m getting eaten by lions! Oh well! Great work!
