Friday November 8, 2013  Certain I wasn't going to get any fiction written.  But then... This is the zero draft beginning of "The Touch of Any Color" (working title.)

"Whatever he's on, I want some of it."  An unprofessional thing for an Interstellar Terminal security employee to say; but Gatha Laken was new.

"That's his ordinary brain state," Jenny Tyler said.  "Synesthesia, including kinds rarer than seeing sounds and hearing colors."

"I had synesthesia once," Gatha said.  "But my parents had it cured."

After a pause, Jenny replied.  "It's not officially classed as a disease."

"My parents were Edenic Orthodox.  They believed it was a disease.  Like lefthandedness and being attracted to only one sex."
