Baltimore Apple

Carleys unusual gift allowed her to detect unwholesome brain waves emanating from people within reasonable proximity, even including lies told in her presence.

Moreover, inanimate objects oftentimes created worrisome vibrations in her head, suggesting that she stay away from them.Wisely, she always selectively used her special talent only as a defense mechanism - - never in a mean spirited or vindictive manner - - and nobody knew the extent of her mental perception, not even her husband.Circumstances required Carley to accompany her husband for an eight-month stay in Baltimore, Maryland where he was to receive eight months of intensive training to enhance his career.

The temporary relocation was to be a carefree, happy time for Carley.

Instead, it became a consuming, life-threatening experience when she encountered a person who had an aberrant mental condition.

A stalemate of telepathic powers ensued, with Carley becoming the big winner and received rewards far greater than anything she could have imagined.
