Outside of the City there is a vast wasteland we call the Brink. It is where those go who are not 'suitable' for civilization. In reality, however, it is simply a big garbage bin where the Council tosses those who are different. Those who don't meet the regulations required by the Council to be permitted to live within the city walls. They are the Forgotten.
Most of the Forgotten have one or more abnormally potent senses. They are called Deviants. In most cases a Deviant has only one honed sense, to have two is rare and to have three is unheard of. Deviants are cast out of the City because the Council is afraid that they can not be tamed and controlled. They would be right.
I was one of the few Deviants who had been able to mask my talents and coexist peacefully in the City for any amount of time. Seventeen years of careful vigilance and hiding.
But then I messed up.
