But I picked up a previous story, one I have mostly done but not published anywhere. It&#8217;s called <em>Brainstorm<\/em> and in the second chapter, I found I&#8217;d written in a situation that&#8217;s part of my real life right now.

I can&#8217;t believe I was writing about such a situation back in 2011 (which is when I first wrote this story), but there it is. A very surprising situation and one that took my breath away.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all I want to say for now.
