You've lost a mother. A father. A brother or sister. Have you ever wondered if they're still watching?

Robert Lieber lost his mother to cancer when he was five years old. Now his mother's age when she died, Robert has just been diagnosed with the same disease. And he's suddenly haunted by a recurring dream of a woman, white as light, shuffling out of a strange church.

Right before she vanishes into the shimmering air.

But Robert can't shake the feeling that these aren't exactly dreams, nor are they memories. Someone is placing these images into his head.

And then he has a vision of a little girl riding on a stagecoach. Into a frontier town. Where her parents are ruthlessly cut down on the steps of an inn, shrieks of 'Witch!' rising into the desert air.

The girl stands in the center of the town now, facing a mob. The mud streets begin to bubble up. The buildings rattle and tremble and then begin to tear apart. The men who slaughtered her parents start to moan in pain, fire caught in their throats.

When the screaming starts, Robert wakes with the sure knowledge that the little girl was his mother and she's calling to him from another time, another place, another dimension . . .

We called them witches. They lived for hundreds of years. They controlled the elements, gravity, time itself. They were here long before us . . . Robert's mother is one of them . . . and she's trying to reach him . . .

Does Robert Lieber have cancer? Or is he changing?
