SHORT FICTION
How much is success worth?
Good science comes at a price. At least, that’s what the head of Eric Lawson’s psychology graduate program always says. The hours in the lab may be grueling and his personal relationships may suffer, but Eric knows the sacrifices will pay off when his groundbreaking research in cognitive science propels him to the cover of Time magazine.
But after he’s involved in a tragic accident, Eric undergoes a sudden, horrifying transition that puts his research in a whole new light. Now he’s making a huge contribution to science–but is the price more than he can afford?
