Andie Ogami is hired as a spy by a wealthy family because of her ability to astral project.
Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction
Excerpt:
“How do you feel?” the
technician asked. She was holding one of those astral scanners
toward my head.
I blinked a few times. “Strange…uh, disoriented.” My lips felt dry. I licked them and glanced over at the chair where I’d left my handbag. I had some balm in one of the front pockets.
“Here,” the technician said, handing me a pad and pen. “Write down everything you remember in as much detail as you can provide. Remember your training, all five senses in one section, emotions in an-other. If you have any thoughts and impressions and speculations, you can record them in the last section.”
What’s the Word (that inspired the
story)?
Otiose: being at leisure; idle (source:
dictionary.com)
I mentioned in the outro that I needed
additional help brainstorming this story. So I rolled my Story
Cubes.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. A woman, seen from waist up, lying down on a cot near a window with closed blinds. The view is angled so her head is at top right. She wears a long sleeve sweater over a collared shirt. Her short hair lies at her left side. Her right hand lies over her stomach. Her left hand at her waist. Her eyes are closed and her face is expressionless. A glowing waking version of her face with brows and mouth drawn down appears vertically above her neck as if the ghostly face has risen from the sleeping face. The original image is a horizontal rectangle. The format is made square with borders above and below that repeat or blur out the original image.
