The Mind Meddler: A Short Story

All it takes to seal your fate is a single thought. The Mind Meddler will sneak it into your mind when you aren't looking. True to his name, the Mind Meddler messes with people's minds. He plants a single innocuous thought in his victim's mind, then steps back and watches as it slowly ensnares and destroys them. The ghost-girl has the gift of pure sight. She sees nothing but the truth. The objective, unadulterated truth.
Without judgement or deliberation. Thoughts do not trouble her. The Mind Meddler has never met anybody like the ghost-girl in his entire existence. Her uncanny ability is a challenge he cannot resist . This speculative fiction tale by Anitha Krishnan secured an Honourable Mention in the L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest for the 2nd Quarter (January-March) 2022.
