Chapter One: School
When she was five years old, instead of beginning kindergarten, Kathy’s
parents placed her in a private tutelage. They took this step because they were
continuously unnerved by her manners.
They were afraid of her, and they feared for her.
They were desperate to help her, and eager to be released from their
parental obligations.

Chapter Two: Testing
The behavior of every tutor Kathy’s parents contracted
to teach her fell into a pattern they learned to dread.
At first they were delighted, then scared.
They tested her, wrote about, and then they sought to exploit
her.
Every one of them was convinced that the fate of the
world hinged on learning her secrets.

Chapter
Three: Sequestered
By her tenth birthday; Kathy’s parents decided to forego tutors.
They put her in the care of doctors, and clergy, people with a broader
commitment to supernal values.
They entrusted them to guard her education.
Kathy was alone, she was not a child, she had no parents.
She was a patient; the subject of fascination.

betrayed her.

Chapter Five: Experiment
Kathy read, she listened, watched.
She engaged all of her senses in the act of probing her memories.
She studied, took tests, and she was tested, probed, examined by her
proctors for the limits of her knowledge.
There were many occasions when she was unaware of what was
transpiring, but she learned to see patterns.

Chapter Six: Psychic
Kathy’s handlers had never considered the concept of an “ordinary
psychic.”
Genuine telepaths were exceedingly rare, but they existed.
In the later 20th century their abilities were tested,
analyzed, put to use by spy agencies and police forces around the world.
Psychic abilities of any degree were extraordinary.
Kathy’s gifts required a completely different understanding.

Kathy’s moods normalized as she grew older, and adjusted to the
reality of her differences.
She found resources in her memory to guide her in the development of
self-control.
Her gift for analyzing data grew exponentially.

national intelligence than access to the fastest super-computer.
