eBook Description: This story came to me because I remember voices, and was chilled one day to hear a voice from another cubicle that sounded just like a college friend who had committed suicide several years earlier. Is it strange to hear the voices of the dead. Ask yourself that the next time you tune in to oldies radio.

The leaves skittered across the road as the cold November wind blew out of the western Massachusetts hills. They were a familiar sight to Sandy, but the first time the headlights of the old Volvo caught them, Wayne started to brake the car and stalled the engine. He muttered an obscenity.
"Why did you do that? You're going to get us stuck out here," Sandy grumbled. "I told you we should have stayed the night in Amherst." Even though they were both tired and it was nearly midnight before they'd left Sandy's friends' apartment, Wayne had insisted on making the two-hour trip to her parents' home in Lowell that night.
"There were animals running across the road," Wayne replied as he shifted into neutral and steered the slowing car toward the side of the road. The engine caught, and he shifted back into drive. "Didn't you see them? They were little dark things, rats I think." He accelerated and pulled the car back toward the middle of the empty road.
"They were just leaves, blown by the wind. It's something you never see in California."
"Then I'm glad I missed them. California's always had everything I wanted."
"Except me."
