Note: As this story is near-telepathic, paragraphing it is neigh-impossible. As such, we have resolved to edit it into paragraphs of each action and thought, to make the exchange clearer. This means it looks "choppy", but the alternative is impossible to follow. * She walked into the copier room, holding a stack of papers, wearing some fairly conservative...
Noah Prince was aware that he looked quite dashing, as befit the first day of the new semester, and of course his students did not fail to notice either. Pleased, he tuned into their eager minds as he greeted and welcomed them to the program for the first time, marveling as he often did at the subtle differences in their perceptions. Most everybody agreed...
I descended deeply beyond relaxation into meditative unconsciousness. The world around me disappeared, my energy melded with the natural energy of the earth. I escaped from my know world onto a band of energy propelling me past sights I knew to sights my mind's eye could not comprehend. No, this was not some kind of drug-induced trip. A distant voice softly...
While Laurie was taking care of the temporarily deactivated Diana unit downstairs, Anya was still in the walk-in closet deciding what to wear to dinner. She had narrowed her choices down to two, but they were very different. She now wondered if she should just get into some comfy sweat pants and a sweater like Mike and Tammy were wearing or if she should sti...
PART TWO - CAMBRIDGE - 7 - Gabe wandered in soft, green grass, his mind floating far away from the world. Everything here felt more heightened, more vibrant and alive. The soft grass beneath his bare feet, the warm sun beating down on his shoulders, the cool breeze wafting over his naked body, the sound of running, tumbling water; it all felt more real tha...
I woke up that morning like any other morning. I shut off the alarm, swung my feet to the floor and stumbled to the bathroom with my eyes half shut. As I brushed my teeth a vision from my deep sleep that night popped into my head. My jaw dropped, I stopped brushing and stared in the mirror with wide eyes and foaming mouth. I don't usually remember my dreams,...
"Whatever," I said and yawned. She gurgled and said something strange in the tongues she was speaking. Her naked body writhed and stretched and crackled with streaks of red energy. The little red streaks illuminated the glasses of water set about on the floor. She growled and kicked out, one of the glasses bouncing off her foot and skittering across the wo...
Michael and Kathleen returned to the couch three days after their initial appointment with their therapist, Mary. It was with her help that they expected to prepare for the changes that loomed in their immediate future; just ten days until surgery. Mary sat down in her chair just across from the couch. "So good to see you both. I hope you experienced some c...
She had never felt so humiliated, not ever, and she was almost an expert at it by now. But they were all laughing at her. And that wasn't the worst part. It was the way that he was looking at her. He was laughing louder than anyone else. He stopped laughing, struggling to compose himself. "Are you serious?" he asked her, "You actually think that I'd bring s...
The subway was particularly crowded, and I pushed deeper into the crowd in order to give some room to an older fellow with a seeing-eye dog. The twenty minute ride from Porter Square, where I live, to Park Street in downtown Boston where I work was easier than the long commutes my friends at work suffered through. Still, on days like this the tight quarters...
