    About this ebook

    When a friend tells him about a "Magic 8-Ball" computer program making eerily accurate predictions, Paul Johnson shrugs it off as nothing but a string of coincidences. But when a copy of the Magic 8-Ball arrives in his inbox, Paul's life slowly begins to turn inside out as he realises it may actually be able to predict the future...

    This short story contains strong language which some people may find offensive.
