The Fin Land

Over a sauna chat with an acquaintance, a man mentions his young daughter's uncanny gift of reading thoughts and on his return home finds her inexplicably gone. In trying to find her, he must develop an ability of his own while trying to careen through "the interference. "

interference - how does it function? how does the girl describe reading minds? what ability does the father develop? what happens to them? where do they find themselves? how does he find her? how did the girl disappear? what is their internal/external landscape like?

The girl could not read minds, but she rather could project her mind minutes into the futures. In this manner she knew what other people would say, and hence, what they had thought before they said it. On her 18th birthday she started to lose control of the ability and it graudally pulled her minutes into the future, where she faded into the being of a ghost. She now always lagged behind, and was completely lost in the circumstances. She wandered off in a state of perpetual confusion. We lose track of her here.

The father meets an attractive female in the sauna, lays with her, plants his seed, a daughter is born. In 18 years the new daughter has matured is the exact image and being of the missing daughter.
