Vero always felt closest to him between his negatives and her projections. Without knowing it, she took up all the hobbies and collections he used to have: film, writing, photography, coins, elephants. For years, Vero was almost receiving his communications, and then one day, it appears — a greeting! — a text breaks through to this dimension. What will they do with their ability to have conversations?

Though they never met in the flesh, now they talk in poetry — a language both the living and dead speak. Vero’s grandpa, Larry becomes her most trusted confidant. Together, they scheme spiritual warfare with alien allies against techno-oligarchies.
