This short story, the prequel to "Servant," follows a young man named Bobby who has a sixth sense of precognition. When one his friends becomes the potential victim, Bobby does everything he can to prevent the future he sees.

I found the story interesting, but ultimately paradoxical. It seemed that the path Bobby took to prevent the future brought the future he saw closer to happening that it might have if he had done nothing. Additionally, there seemed to be an overabundance of impending doom (possibly intentional) and a script that was generic and unimpressive.

I don't love it, but I'm still willing to read "Servant" and see if it turns out better. ( )
