Up Above and the Runaway

by Michael A Susko

Overview

Zoe and Tod meet Mac, a homeless person, who they knew as Rock Man from an otherworldly experience. They all try to help a runaway teenager, who has dissociated into a symbolic world. Things become even more complicated when their lives intersect with a doctor, in need of a human subject for a risky experimental procedure. In the end something uncanny happens, which show Zoe and Tod that their fantasy had some basis in reality. This story explores the meaning of symbolic worlds, the danger that others can pose in not understanding them, and how resolution and true healing can occur.
