It’s the story of a taciturn and disillusioned telepath, David Selig.
At nearly forty, he realises he’s starting to lose his power; a power he sees both as a curse that has made him antisocial, and as an inseparable part of his identity, the only talent that sets him apart from others. Without the ability to read people’s thoughts, what will he become?

An original short story, both in tone (very cynical) and style, filled with amusing anecdotes.
