Giles Grant has been a Police Officer for five years. He was recently promoted to an armed response unit, and today is the end of his first day. He is a staunch believer in the afterlife, and that not everybody gets to move on when they die. Whilst he has only ever experienced the mildest of unexplainable events, tonight will change everything.

This short story is set in the same world as Augustus Baltazar and features characters that appear in the second novel in the series: The Scar That Bleeds.
