Spirit people

So I was working on Halloween. Later that night when I got off I just walked to the bar to have a couple drinks and shoot some pool. There were people in costumes everywhere. Sometime that night I received a really awful phonecall that totally killed my mood. I was feeling really down and wanted to just go home and sleep. But I ended up sticking around for a bit, and saw 3 people come in and set up a table. I would assume that they were hippies, they put up a big sign that said "spirit animal poems"... what they were doing was telling peoples fortunes through poetry and determining their spirit animal. This was all done by listening to a story that the person told. Somehow or other they got me to sit down and tell them a story while they determined my fortune. I don't believe in fortunes and other things but I like the whole atmosphere of the experience, so I complied. Somehow or other I felt a little better afterwards. The poem didn't make any sense at all, one of the most absurd things I've read, kind of like spam mail where random words are juxtaposed, but hey its about the experience. They told me that I restored their faith because apparently the guy before me was really awful, and full of problems. This made me laugh because I knew the guy who came before me, and he does have his issues. I wanted to give them a little something as well because they made me feel better, somehow. So I went over to my backpack and on the spot made them 3 cards, one for each of them. I then walk over and place the cards in front of them, smile and walk back next door to the bar. Later they came over to the bar and gave me a massive hug, a group hug, and one of the girls gave me a kiss on the cheek. They said thank you and gave me gigantic grins... :)
