Saddened to have heard at dinner last night that Chad, Toto's computer shop assistant, resigned from his job. He is the only young man in the neighborhood who has his third eye open. He frequently saw a wraithlike woman on the balconies of Artery Art Space across the street, and saw spirits of all kinds scuttling across the floor of D.'s store.

We were actually planning to invite Chad to a ghost storytelling session during our columbary vigil on on All Souls Day. Now we shall have to spend that night without him.
