"The bus roared through Indiana cornfields that night; the moon illuminated the ghostly gathered husks; it was almost Halloween.

One night, I was at this Halloween party, and he passed me. He was beyond pale - he looked white. Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died. That's a lesson."
