Second Sight
Amy’s journal entries pull listeners into a tightly wound research facility where the line between observation and exploitation blurs. She watches colleagues come and go—Lambertson returning exhausted from a secretive trip to Boston, a terse dinner that ends in an uneasy confrontation. Through her keen, almost uncanny perception, Amy begins to piece together a hidden agenda surrounding a young woman whose abilities are being studied, and the uneasy moral tug‑of‑war that threatens to unravel the team.
The narrative teeters between professional duty and personal doubt as Amy recalls an old psychiatrist, Aarons, whose smooth arguments mask a darker intent. As whispers of “defective” and “public taxes” echo through the corridors, the listener is left questioning who truly protects the subject and what price the experiment demands. The first act sets a tense, intimate stage, promising a story that probes ethics, power, and the unsettling consequences of seeing beyond ordinary sight.
