Mike Resnick Fantastic

A Thousand Years and a New Dawn

Janet is no ordinary woman. Beneath her seemingly fragile, soft-spoken demeanor lies a soul that has lived for a thousand years—a weaver of ancient wisdom, Eastern mysticism, and timeless power. Despite her profound abilities, her modern body is often overwhelmed by the confusion and complexity of today’s world. Janet longs for simplicity but finds herself repeatedly pulled into the fabric of fate, where her strength and courage are tested. Mike, on the other hand, is a man of the moment. A charismatic and ambitious investor, he thrives in the fast-paced world of New York, where logic and confidence are his guiding lights. With a new soul untethered to the burdens of past lives, he embraces life’s challenges with optimism, always looking forward. But when he crosses paths with Janet during a chaotic Christmas parade, his life takes an unexpected turn. In a world where destiny and free will collide, Janet foresees a deadly attack and steps in to shield the crowd from a tragic fate. Her ancient powers save lives—but at the cost of exposing her hidden truths. Mike, drawn by her mysterious aura and inexplicable abilities, refuses to let her slip away. As their worlds entwine, they uncover secrets that neither could face alone: a shadowy conspiracy tied to Janet’s ancient legacy and Mike’s unforeseen role in it. Together, they must navigate a labyrinth of supernatural threats, ancient prophecies, and their own growing connection—one rooted in contrasts yet destined to unite.

Foreseen

Janet is a modern city woman, exuding independence and confidence as she navigates the bustling urban world. Yet, beneath her contemporary facade lies an ancient soul—one that has lived for over a thousand years, carrying the memories and abilities of countless past lives. Gifted with skills like channeling spirits and foreseeing the future, Janet struggles to control her powers. Unintentionally misusing them, she often causes chaos and misfortune for herself and those around her, leaving her trapped in a cycle of confusion and pain. In her quest for answers, Janet begins seeking spiritual guidance. She consults enlightened monks and scholars, exploring various religions and philosophies in an effort to uncover the true purpose of her abilities and the path to balance. Yet, her soul carries the heavy burden of karma and unresolved past entanglements, and each attempt to find clarity only plunges her deeper into uncertainty. One fateful evening, Janet's life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Mike, a sharp and rational Wall Street investment manager, at a party. Their brief interaction leads to a one-night stand, which Janet assumes will be nothing more than a fleeting connection. To her surprise, Mike falls for her and begins to pursue her earnestly. Logical and grounded by nature, Mike is inexplicably drawn to Janet, though he cannot comprehend why. Janet, however, foresees the dangers their relationship might bring. Her unique existence and uncontrollable abilities could introduce supernatural phenomena into their lives, potentially wreaking havoc on Mike’s career and personal world. Despite her reservations, Janet is moved by Mike's sincerity and begins to wonder if this relationship could be a form of spiritual practice—a chance to learn how to connect with others, relinquish control over the future, and confront the deepest wounds within her soul. As their bond deepens, Janet faces not only Mike's relentless affection but also the darkness and unresolved karma within her own spirit. When her foresight reveals a devastating financial crisis looming over Mike's career, she is forced to make a difficult choice: should she sever ties with Mike to protect him from the dangers her presence might bring, or should she stand by him, embracing the risks and facing the unknown together?
