So I went out garage sailing yesterday. Sundays usually don’t have a whole lot, but I couldn’t get out on Saturday, and I was feeling a bit like I missed out. There were only two in my area, but I thought they would do the job. The first one was at a house of a man that buys storage units, so there was a lot to say the least and quite the variety of items. One of those items was a large clay vase. We are talking huge. It comes up to my waist.  $30 was a bit steep for me, but it was so cool I just had to have it. I grabbed that along with a few other items I deemed to be treasures. When I got home I used Google lens to see if I could get any information about the vase. Well, thank you Google lens. I can confirm the vase is either worth $5000, or $20. But that is all it will tell me. It will neither confirm or deny either price. (Heavy sigh) Time for a piece of candy.

Junior FBI agent Eliot Wong is assigned to Zylen Mental Hospital on a tip that they might be performing unethical research on their patients. At first, there doesn’t seem to be much to it. At least, nothing to justify his commissioner’s unease.

But then Eliot meets Kanara Jensen, a patient with a violent past and a (deceptively?) pretty face. Kanara has been hearing a voice in her head that gives her the ability to predict the future. It can’t predict everything, but when it does make predictions, they’re always correct.

And it started when she got to the hospital.
