    Greed is a powerful motivator; wealth is another.

    Power may be the greatest.

    Suppose a telepath exists…

    What lengths would you go to to have access to her abilities and the benefits?


    Viki, a runner, was only eleven when she experienced one of the effects of her abilities but needed help to discover what it was.

    Viki became aware of this and recognised her death was the only escape…
