See Through Me

‘The same goes for me, doesn’t it?’ I said to him. ‘Even if you find the link, there’s no guarantee that it’ll be the direct cause of my transparency. And even if it is, there’s no guarantee it’ll make any difference. Genetic disorders can’t be cured, can they?’

‘Well, there’s been some success with experimental gene therapy treatment, but you’re right – there’s no cure for the vast majority of genetic disorders. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be done. In lots of cases it’s possible to treat and manage the symptoms of the disease . . .’

I don’t remember the rest of it. I think I’d reached a kind of saturation point, and my head was so full of abnormalities and variants and genes and disorders and DNA sequencing and god-knows-what else that I simply couldn’t take in any more, and something in my mind – some kind of safety mechanism – just shut everything down.

And I zoned out.

Just like Dad.

Only no one could see that I wasn’t there.
