Abstract
This study is aimed at analyzing a short story entitled ‘The Fate of Customer 12’ written by HR Pinches in terms of setting, characters and characterization, plot, and theme. HR Pinches himself is the main character in the short story, acting as a fortune teller who is so professional in his or her job—the author’s gender is not clear since the short story applies the first-person point of view. Most importantly, the story was written in a repetitive style to show mysteriousness. Surprisingly, many people from different walks of life believe in the “stories” that he or she has been telling. It is argued that he or she is saying the same things to every customer. He or she is trying to prove that no one has destinies even though he or she never tells THIS to his or her customers or he or she will lose his or her job. Yet, some customers do come back for the next fortune telling. One day, however, an individual identified as Customer 12 was very different, ending the futuristic consultation in death. Analysis in this research is interpretative in nature and performed in its generic structure. The findings of the study confirm that the short story has only one character who flashbacks the activities. This has taught us how important it is to show self-confidence, and all types of convincing rhetoric to anyone, and anywhere despite of telling lies. Keywords: setting, plot, characters, theme, short story, The Fate of Customer 12
