Denial (House of Rae)

By Lizzie Ashworth

Three years after his brush with death in Kansas City, all Josh Carter wants is a normal life. He and Anne journey to the West Coast for her graduate scholarship in biomedical engineering at the University of California at Santa Cruz. They've reserved a cottage near the beach. There will be long walks on the sand, leisurely hikes in the redwoods-life will be good in the Golden State.Near the end of the long drive west as they near the Santa Cruz Mountains, the road and surroundings fade. Grinding, crumbling, the ground deep below appears in three dimensional, holographic imagery. Josh grips the steering wheel as a woman's face appears amid dark layers of shattering groaning rock. Shaking, he abruptly steers the car to the shoulder. Anne stares at him, questioning. The thought crosses his mind that somewhere around the Great Salt Lake, he had careened into a parallel reality.Much as Josh tries to ignore them, repeated messages spell out the danger. If only he'd listened. If only he could go back. As the darkness deepens, he wanders the San Francisco waterfront contemplating suicide. In a world where psions are heralded as wizards or saviors, where pleasure energy is the only cure for the horrors of brown death, what is the fate of a powerful psion who denies the call?
