Third Eye
Cover Artist: Aaron Anderson
Publisher: DSP Publications
We've
got blurbage: Who knew that a summer thunderstorm and his lost
little boy would conspire to change single dad Cayce D’Amico’s life in an
instant? With Luke missing, Cayce ventures into the woods near their house to
find his son, only to have lightning strike a tree near him, sending a branch
down on his head. When he awakens the next day in the hospital, he discovers he
has been blessed or cursed—he isn't sure which—with psychic ability. Along with
unfathomable glimpses into the lives of those around him, he’s getting visions
of a missing teenage girl.
When a second girl disappears soon after the
first, Cayce realizes his visions are leading him to their grisly fates. Cayce
wants to help, but no one believes him. The police are suspicious. The press
wants to exploit him. And the girls' parents have mixed feelings about the
young man with the "third eye."
Cayce turns to local reporter Dave Newton and,
while searching for clues to the string of disappearances and possible murders,
a spark ignites between the two. Little do they know that nearby, another
couple—dark and murderous—are plotting more crimes and wondering how to silence
the man who knows too much about them.

And a
sneak peek: Cayce was just about to put the paper aside when
another article—and a familiar name in the byline—caught his eye. “Teenager
Reported Missing,” by Dave Newton. It wasn’t so much the headline that got his
attention but the picture of the young girl beneath it. Pretty. Long blonde
hair. And disturbingly familiar.
Even though Fawcettville was a small town, the
girl’s name, Lucy Plant, didn’t ring any bells. Perhaps Cayce had waited on her
at the Elite, the diner where he worked. But still, no specific recollection
came back. Cayce couldn’t visualize the girl sitting at the counter, nor at one
of the booths.
And yet she looked so familiar, as if she were
someone Cayce was friends with, or even a relative.
Cayce scanned the story. The girl had been
reported missing by her mother yesterday afternoon, just before the storm that
had caused such a turn in Cayce’s own life.
There were no clues. The girl, at least
according to her mother, could not possibly have been a runaway. “Lucy’s a good
girl,” Amy Plant had told Fawcettville police detective JT Simmons. “She
wouldn’t even go down the block to visit a friend without telling us first.”
The last time anyone had seen Lucy Plant was
when her mother looked outside the living room window. Lucy had been playing
with her Barbie dolls on the front lawn.
Cayce closed his eyes. He remembered, suddenly,
the storm coming, and not knowing where Luke was. He sympathized with the
girl’s mother and the panic she must have felt when she couldn’t locate her
daughter.
A ceiling fan. Beneath his closed lids, Cayce
saw a ceiling fan. He didn’t know why. He didn’t own one himself, and the one
in his parents’ living room was an entirely different model from this one,
which was white, with a plain globe. His parents’ fan had four frosted-glass
light fixtures and faux wood blades.
Cayce kept his eyes closed, watching the ceiling
fan whirl, its blades blurring and becoming singular. There was something wrong
with the fan. It didn’t work quite right.
Cayce felt nauseated and opened his eyes. His
face was glazed with sweat. His stomach churned, and he was afraid he would
vomit. Why was seeing a ceiling fan so disturbing? Or was this some sort of
aftershock, an effect of his accident?
Cayce didn’t think so.
He glanced down at the face of Lucy Plant and
sucked in some air. “Oh my God,” he whispered, “she’s dead.”
