Ancestors — Robert Y. Kline

Can a man's most horrifying moments be genetically transmitted to his son?

Ask Toby. He can travel to the deepest recesses of the psyche.

Ask him. He'll tell you about the memory room. And the twelve matchboxes. He has opened some. He has felt the fury of the terrifying memories they hold…Memories of his forebears…

Ask the media. They'll say it's a genetic miracle. Then ask Esau Manley. He'll say Toby must be exorcised of the devil. Yet what mysteries will the remaining bones yield? Everyone wants to know. Now, Toby is ready…But so is Esau.
