Tarot Mad-Libs: The Crossing
Draw a card for each blank. Use a keyword or phrase that the card brings to mind — from your deck, a digital deck, or the Tarot Meanings Guide in Field Notes. Fill in the blanks, then share your completed story in the comments. No two crossings will be the same.
The Crossing
The ferryman had worked this river longer than memory allowed. The passengers were always the same — [adjective], unburdened, already halfway somewhere else.
But tonight's passenger stepped into the boat with the [adjective] certainty of someone who had not yet finished living.
Halfway across, she spoke. "What's on the other side?"
The ferryman answered without hesitation. "Whatever you stopped [verb ending in -ing]."
She didn't speak again. But when the bow touched the far shore and she stepped out without looking back, something [adjective] settled in the ferryman's chest — and they couldn't remember, for the life of them, when they had last crossed over the
mselves.
