SF Read of the Week
We're in a room with windows that look into other rooms. (Why do they do that? Windows are supposed to look outside.)
There's me, sitting in a chair with arms, like the queen, and Doctor Hudd, and another doctor, and a nurse. The really big man is watching us through one of those windows. (Lucky the windows don't look outside, really, or he'd have to stand on the windowsill.) Doctor Hudd is reading out loud from a bit of paper.
Moderate learning disabilities, he says. Schizoaffective disorder, autistic spectrum disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, epilepsy, depressive psychosis. Well, Keith, he says. Looks like you've got a pretty good bundle there.
Doctors believe that the insane can see into the future in this fantastic story from Patrick Samphire. It's the second time I've feature a Samphire story, the first being "A Field Guide to Ugly Places", which I recommend you check out in the RotW archive.
This is "Next" at Abyss & Apex.

I'm part of your experiment - came here through blogexplosion. I'm happy to say that after checking around a bit, I'm one of those who will stay.
Nice blog.
our livingroom has a window that overlooks another room... our kitchen does too.. piss poor design when the last owners added on to the house
Happy to hear it, melly...actually, I've been to your blog a few times already, through Lee Carlon's place.
Oh, my, I had no idea. I would have come sooner had I known. I'm always on the lookout for a good blog and to find he's a fellow Canadian to boot, well, need I say more?
Yup, I like Lee's blog as well.
