All around me I heard voices speaking Spanish, but I saw no one. The owner-chef was there. He acted like everything was normal. The invisible people do most of the low-wage labor around here now. They build buildings, drive trucks, cook food, clean houses, make things.
Scientists know little, except that the beings speak Spanish.
But a part-time psychic and landscape gardener says he has the answer. It's this sort of middle-class aura that hides everything that isn't, you know, compatible. The invisible men are just poor Latinos who don't fit into the Santa Cruz mindset. So the mind field makes them invisible. Once we got to Santa Cruz, though, they just faded away.
