Mother is a disturbing sci-fi tale, where hallucinations will be the least of your concerns. Here’s a snippet:
He spun around. Nobody there.
‘Who is it?’
He stood up, looking intently around the ship’s deck. Ninety-nine time-freezers, forty-nine asleep, forty-nine purged. Nobody else. He looked again at the woman in the chamber as she waited for her life to end.
I must still be hallucinating. Maybe a bug in the virus code that woke me early. Everything’s fine. Everything’s fine.
