Or perhaps something very different is happening. When a disease affects how reality is perceived, it’s hard to be certain of anything…<br> Spence is one of the “cured”. Haunted by guilt, he refuses to face the changed world until a new inmate challenges him to help her find her old crew. But if he can’t tell the truth from the lies, how will he know if he has earned the redemption he dreams of? How will he know he hasn’t just made things worse?<br> About <a href="http://www.malcolmdevlin.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Malcolm Devlin</a>: Malcolm Devlin’s stories have appeared in Black Static, Interzone, The Shadow Booth and Shadows and Tall Trees.
