Epidiah

“This list is ridiculous,” says Epidiah. “Holy water is for vampires, we’re not setting money on fire, and ‘proton packs’ are not real.”

“Still locked at the corner,” says Lemmy, peering out the mail slot. “Look, it wears the chain it forged in life!”

“It’s a ghost bike, Lemmy,” says Epidiah with weariness beyond death. “Somebody spray-painted it white because a friend of theirs–”

“Reached out from beyond the grave, I know,” Lemmy frowns. “Like vodoun or pharaonic burial goods. Did you bless the holy water yet?”

Epidiah’s sainthood derives from the Universal Life Church, but unfortunately that’s good enough.

Tanner

Squirting water into your inner ear to see if it makes you vomit is a good test for whether you’re really in a coma, Tanner learns, to his bewilderment, still hiccuping with his arms resting on the bucket lip.

“But I fail to understand,” he gets out between spasms, “why such a test was even necessary.”

Some people prefer their friends to be safe, not sorry,” says Kira. “And there was the power-of-attorney issue.”

“The,” Tanner says, “what.”

“So I could legally divest of your house and stuff. Tax reasons!”

He stares up at her.

“April Fools?” she says.
