Tarak, hoping to earn some extra money, joins a telepathy study at the Center for Extrasensory Research. Initially skeptical, he finds the process simple enough: meditate and report any visions. But strange occurrences follow\u2014memory lapses, inexplicable purchases, and headaches. When he discovers mysterious implants in his neck, he seeks medical help. Returning to the center, he finds it empty. His neck implants vanish. Meanwhile, suspicions arise about his involvement in a data center breach. As Tarak grapples with these mysteries, he realizes he's entangled in something far larger and more sinister than a simple telepathy study.\n\nCONNECT WITH US\n\nmakeshiftstories@gmail.com\n\nSHARE THE PODCAST\n\nIf you liked this episode, tell your friends to head over to Apple Podcasts and subscribe.\n\nCREDITS\n\nWritten by Alan V Hare.\n\nRead by Steve Peterson.\n\nOpening and closing were composed and created by Matthew Erdmann.\n\nProduced by Makeshift Studios\n\nMakeshift Stories is released under a creative commons non-commercial attribution, no derivative license.
