520 _a"Too close to the forest" by Bryce Walton and Al Reynolds is a work of science fiction likely written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around the complex themes of mental telepathy and the struggles of a scientist, Dr. Marsten, who faces skepticism from the scientific community. It explores the divide between established scientific methods and the more esoteric realms of human consciousness such as parapsychology. The narrative follows Max Reinach, a graduate student and the close confidant of Dr. Marsten, who is conducting a significant experiment to prove the existence of mental telepathy. As the experiment commences, the high stakes weigh heavily on Marsten, who is desperate to regain his professional reputation after being ostracized for his controversial theories. Ultimately, Marsten faces a catastrophic failure during his demonstration, leading him to despair and a tragic ending. Alongside the backdrop of the experiment, the tension builds as Max grapples with his own doubts about the validity of Marsten's work while trying to find answers in the aftermath of failure, ultimately resolving to continue Marsten's research in his honor, despite the potential cost to his own career.
